Thiru Kumar Jayant, I.A.S. (1992 batch), has been appointed as Chairman and Managing Director (Full Additional Charge) of Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Limited effective 30th April 2026. He concurrently holds the same position at Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Limited (TIIC). Dr Sandeep Saxena, I.A.S., has ceased to be CMD upon retirement from service on superannuation on 30th April 2026. The appointment was made via Government Order G.O. Rt. No. 1537 dated 30th April 2026. Thiru Kumar Jayant is 58 years old, holds a B.Tech degree, does not hold any shares in TNPL, and has no prior directorships in listed entities in the past three years.
The change is routine, driven by mandatory superannuation retirement of the outgoing CMD. The new CMD is a senior IAS officer from Tamil Nadu cadre with extensive administrative experience. As a government nominee being appointed to a state-owned enterprise, this reflects continued government control over the company with no immediate material impact on operations.
