Power Grid Corporation of India (POWERGRID) has informed exchanges about the appointment of Smt. Sajal Jha (DIN: 09402663) as a Non-Official Independent Director on its board, effective May 16, 2025. The appointment was made by the Ministry of Power, Government of India, for a period of one year or until further orders, whichever is earlier. Smt. Sajal Jha is an advocate with over 14 years of experience practicing at the Patna High Court and holds law and arts degrees from Magadh University. She is not related to any existing directors or key managerial personnel of the company and is not debarred by SEBI from holding a directorship. The board approved the appointment via circular resolution under Section 161(1) of the Companies Act, 2013.
This is a routine government-driven appointment of an independent director at a public sector undertaking and is unlikely to have any material impact on the stock price. It reinforces board composition in line with statutory and SEBI listing requirements, with no governance red flags.
