In a key development, the tenure of Richa Pandey (ICAS:2011) as Director in the National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority (NPPA) has been curtailed. According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Saturday (September 6, 2025), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) cleared the proposal of the Department of Pharmaceuticals to end her tenure under the Central Staffing Scheme.
Richa Pandey was appointed as Deputy Secretary in NPPA in May 2022 for a four-year term. She was elevated as Director and her tenure was scheduled to run until 2026. However, the latest order has brought her stint to an early close.
