REC Limited, a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Power, has invited applications from eligible IAS officers for the post of Executive Director (ED) on a deputation basis.
REC is the nodal agency for several flagship power sector schemes of the Government of India, including the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), which focuses on improving the performance of electricity distribution companies (Discoms). The agency is also leading the implementation of the prepaid smart metering initiative under RDSS.
Previously, REC has played a critical role in executing government programs such as Saubhagya, DDUGJY, UDAY, and the Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) Rules. In 2024, it was designated as the National Programme Implementation Agency (NPIA) for the Rooftop Solar initiative—Pradhanmantri Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY).
To oversee and drive these ambitious programmes, REC is seeking to appoint a dynamic and experienced IAS officer at Level 12 or above (as per the 7th CPC) as Executive Director. The initial tenure will be for three years. Preference will be given to officers with prior experience in the power sector.
Interested officers are required to submit their applications in the prescribed proforma, along with vigilance clearance, APARs for the last five years, and a No Objection Certificate (NoC) from their cadre controlling authorities. Applications must be submitted by July 16, 2025, and emailed to cmd@recl.in.
