ITI Limited said that Government of India appointed Ajai Kumar Srivastava as Director Production on the Board of the company, with effect from the date of assumption of the post (31 July 2026) until the date of his superannuation (31 March 2029) or until further orders. The appointment to the Executive Director role on the board is aligned with the state-owned group’s ongoing push to strengthen its manufacturing and production footprint in a rapidly evolving telecom landscape. While the formal notification emphasizes the term of appointment, industry observers will be watching how the leadership transition shapes the company’s execution roadmap for its manufacturing and production units.
Ajai Kumar Srivastava, a long-time ITI veteran, is described in the filing as holding a B.Tech in Electronics & Communication and bringing 27 years of experience in manufacturing and production. Since joining ITI Limited in November 1998, he has served as a unit head across various plants, underscoring a career built on hands-on leadership in complex production environments. His deep familiarity with ITI’s operations positions him to steer a production agenda that aligns with the company’s strategic objectives and the broader push to advance India’s domestic telecom manufacturing capacity.
The appointment signals ITI’s continued emphasis on operational execution at the highest level of the organisation. With Srivastava stepping into Production on the executive leadership track, ITI aims to reinforce its capability to scale production, optimize processes, and deliver on ambitious targets amid a competitive, rapidly changing market. As the government continues to influence strategic appointments in state-backed enterprises, ITI’s leadership realignment will be observed as a barometer of the company’s near-term priorities and long-term resilience.
