What the update says

• MTNL has informed BSE and NSE that the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the extension of the additional charge of the post of Director (HR & EB) at MTNL.
• The additional charge is entrusted to Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, who is Director (HR) at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).
• The extension is effective from 01.10.2026 and runs till the date of his superannuation, i.e. 28.02.2027, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
• The company's disclosure follows the Department of Telecommunications' order dated 30.09.2026 and the DoT letter dated 02.11.2026 conveying the ACC's approval.

What is an additional charge

An additional charge means an executive already holding a post elsewhere is given the responsibility of another post as well. Here, the BSNL Director (HR) also handles the HR and EB portfolio at MTNL, rather than MTNL appointing a separate full-time director for that role.

What this means for investors

• This is a leadership and administrative update about who holds a board-level HR portfolio. It covers the tenure of that arrangement.
• The arrangement is temporary in nature and is tied to a fixed outer date, 28.02.2027, and can end earlier if further orders are issued.
• MTNL is a Government of India enterprise, and the ACC approves appointments and extensions at this level for government companies.
• The disclosure is made under Regulation 30 and Regulation 51 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
