Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) has announced the appointment of Dr. Rajender Kumar, IAS, as the new Managing Director. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee approved the appointment on 6th January 2026, with the effective date being 3rd January 2026. Dr. Kumar is a 2004-batch IAS officer of the Gujarat Cadre with a background in Ayurvedic medicine and over two decades of experience in public administration and policy. He previously served at the Prime Minister's Office, worked as an Advisor at the World Bank, and is currently the Commissioner of Transport in the Gujarat government. He is not related to any existing director or key managerial person of the company.
This is an external appointment of an IAS officer, reflecting the Gujarat government's continued control over GSFC. While Dr. Kumar brings strong administrative and policy expertise, his background is primarily in governance rather than the fertilizer or chemicals industry, which may shape the company's strategic direction toward government priorities.
