Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) announced that Kumar Shanker has been appointed as the new Managing Director, nominated by promoter GAIL India. He took charge on June 5, 2026, replacing Kamal Kishore Chatiwal, who has ceased to be MD and Director and been repatriated to GAIL. Shanker is a Chemical Engineer from BITS Pilani with 31+ years of experience in the natural gas industry and was previously MD of Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited.
Top leadership change. New MD brings deep natural gas sector expertise, was previously MD of MNGL. Promoter-led appointment likely ensures strategic continuity.
