S Narsing Rao, former chairman of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), assumed charge as the Chairman and Managing Director of Coal India Limited (CIL) on 24 April 2012.
53-year-old Rao is a 1986-batch Indian Administrative Service Officer. He is the first non-CIL nominee to assume the top post of the company since July 1983. Rao was slated to assume the top-notch position after the Union Cabinet had approved his appointment for a five-year term on 3 April 2012.
The retirement of Partha S Bhattacharyya in February 2011 had left the CIL without any full time head for nearly 14 months. The period, however, saw NC Jha and Zohra Chatterjee taking over as the part-time CMD of the company.
