Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd has announced a change in its CEO – Ports role. Mr. Pranav Choudhary has ceased as CEO – Ports effective May 31, 2026, to pursue career opportunities outside the Adani Group. He will be succeeded by Mr. Niraj Bansal, who takes over as CEO – Ports from June 1, 2026. Mr. Bansal is a former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer with over 27 years of government service, including serving as Deputy Chairman and Chairman-in-charge of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) from 2014 to 2019. He joined the Adani Group in October 2022 and has been leading the New Port Project Development in Maharashtra. The transition represents a planned succession within the company's senior leadership.
The resignation of Mr. Choudhary appears to be a voluntary departure for external opportunities, which may raise questions about executive retention at Adani Ports. The appointment of Mr. Bansal, with his extensive port sector regulatory experience at JNPT, could bring industry expertise to the role.
