Search Panel Reportedly Fails to Find Suitable Candidate for ONGC CMD
A search panel set up by the Petroleum Ministry reportedly could not find a suitable candidate for ONGC CMD, though senior GAIL and ONGC officers had applied.
A search panel formed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has reportedly not found a suitable candidate for the post of Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), according to sources.
The panel met recently. Senior officers from GAIL and ONGC had also applied for the post, the sources said.
ONGC is a central public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and is the country's largest crude oil and gas producer. Its CMD is the full-time chief executive of the company.
A search panel finds candidates and recommends names for top posts in public sector enterprises. If it does not recommend a name, the vacancy remains open.
The reports are unconfirmed, and the ministry has not issued a statement.
