In a significant development for India’s energy sector, Arun Kumar Singh — the 63-year-old Chairman and CEO of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) — has been granted an extension beyond his scheduled superannuation. Singh’s current three-year tenure was set to end on December 6, 2025, with his retirement slated for the following day.
However, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had recommended a one-year extension, and the final approval from the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has come. The decision allows Singh to continue leading India’s largest oil and gas PSU at a crucial time for the sector.
