Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Limited announced a leadership change effective April 30, 2026. Thiru Kumar Jayant, I.A.S. (58 years), a 1992 batch Indian Administrative Service officer, has been appointed as Chairman and Managing Director on full additional charge basis by the Government of Tamil Nadu. He previously held the position of Additional Chief Secretary/Chairman and Managing Director at Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Limited (TIIC). Concurrently, Dr. Sandeep Saxena, I.A.S. has ceased to be the Chairman and Managing Director upon retirement from service on superannuation. Kumar Jayant does not hold any shares in TNPL and has no inter se relationship with other directors.
This is a routine government-mandated leadership transition at this state-owned enterprise. The appointment of an IAS officer from another government corporation as Chairman and Managing Director is typical for TNPL, which is a Tamil Nadu government undertaking. No immediate impact on company operations expected.
