New Delhi (16.07.2025): Signalling a gap in leadership readiness among the available talent pool for such a critical role, the NaMo administration on Wednesday extended the tenure of Gurdeep Singh, the incumbent CMD of NTPC; India's largest power producer. He was due to retire on July 31, 2025. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the Ministry of Power's proposal for Singh's re-employment on a contract basis. 
Initially, he was appointed in 2016 through a search-cum-selection committee and received another five-year term in 2020 on extension basis.
The PESB advertised the position in October 2024 and conducted interviews with a dozen shortlisted candidates in May 2025. It found none of the candidates suitable and proposed for SCSC route necessitating a year-long extension to Gurdeep Singh as CMD.
