Power Grid Corporation of India Limited disclosed that two of its Executive Directors, Atul Kumar Bali and Dilip Nagesh Rozekar, will retire on 30 September 2026 after reaching the age of superannuation, and thereby cease to be part of the company’s senior management, one level below the board. The move marks the end of a long tenure at the helm of a key player in India’s power transmission network, a role that underscores the importance of continuity in the governance of the country’s critical energy infrastructure.
As executive leadership, Bali and Rozekar have been central to steering Power Grid through a period of expansion and modernization, overseeing functions that underpin reliability and resilience across the grid. Their impending departure signals a transition for the organization as it plans for leadership renewal while maintaining the steady execution and strategic focus that the sector demands from a state-backed utility.
The announcement places Power Grid at a crossroads familiar to large, mission-critical enterprises: preserving institutional knowledge and ensuring a smooth handover to emerging leaders who will carry forward the company’s mandate of strengthening India’s transmission backbone. In the months ahead, the company will likely seek to align succession and governance practices with its broader objectives for sustained growth and reliability in the nation’s power landscape.
