How to read this
- This is a change in management and board composition, arising from the administrative ministry rather than from any commercial decision of the company.
- A government nominee director sits on the board of a public sector enterprise to represent the Government of India, which is the promoter here, and acts as a link between the ministry and the company.
- The person occupying this seat has changed; the seat itself continues, as the outgoing director is replaced by the incoming one.
