The Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) has appointed Mr. Som Raj as Director (Personnel & Administration) on its Board, effective July 15, 2025, until his superannuation on June 30, 2027 or further orders. The appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) on the recommendation of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, making it a government-led appointment typical of public sector undertakings. Mr. Som Raj is an internal candidate who has been with SCI since 1990, rising from Trainee Nautical Officer to General Manager, with over 35 years of experience in ship operations, HR management, and maritime training. The additional charge of this post previously held by Capt. B.K. Tyagi (CMD) has now ended, completing the transition to a regular full-time incumbent.
This is a routine government-approved internal elevation and is unlikely to have any material impact on the stock price. Shareholders may note the leadership continuity and that a long-tenured internal professional now formally occupies a key functional directorship, potentially bringing stability to personnel and administrative functions.
