What the update says

• The President of India has appointed Shri Diwakar Nath Misra as a Government Nominee Director on the board of the company.
• He is currently an Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Power.
• The Ministry of Power conveyed the decision through its order dated 19th October 2026.
• The company informed the exchanges under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

How long the appointment lasts

• Till his tenure in the Ministry of Power, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
• In other words, the board seat is tied to his posting in the Ministry rather than to a fixed term of years.

What the company is doing next

• It says it is taking the necessary action to complete the appointment formalities in line with the Companies Act, 2013 and the Listing Regulations.
• The requisite disclosures in this regard will be submitted in due course.

How to read this as a shareholder

• A Government Nominee Director is the government's representative on the board. Such appointments are part of the normal board composition of government-linked companies and are made by the President of India through the administrative ministry.
• The announcement is about who sits on the board and for how long. It does not change the company's share capital, nor does it carry any financial figure.
• For a retail investor, the practical takeaway is a change in board membership and the induction of a serving ministry official as a director; the update gives no other operational or financial details.
