Leadership arrangement extended
MTNL has informed the stock exchanges that the additional charge of the post of Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of the company has been extended.
What was extended
- The additional charge is held by Shri A. Robert J. Ravi, Senior Deputy Director General, DoT, who also holds the additional charge of the post of CMD of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).
- The extension is for a further period of three months beyond 14.10.2026, i.e. till 14.01.2027.
- The arrangement runs till the appointment of a regular incumbent, or until further orders, whichever is earliest.
- The order describes it as an interim measure and subject to the approval of the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.
Remuneration point
The order states that during the period of holding the additional charge, Shri Ravi "will not be entitled to any additional remuneration". The extension therefore does not carry any additional remuneration for the additional charge.
What this means for investors
- MTNL continues under an interim top-management arrangement, with the CMD post held as an additional charge rather than by a regular appointee.
- The arrangement is time-bound in three ways: the end date of 14.01.2027, the appointment of a regular incumbent, or further orders, whichever comes first.
- The same individual also carries the CMD additional charge at BSNL, another government telecom PSU.
