The process to appoint the next Director General of Police (DGP) of Maharashtra has reached its final stage, with the state government forwarding a panel of seven senior IPS officers to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for consideration. The UPSC will shortlist three names from the list, one of whom will be appointed as the new state police chief.

The new appointee will succeed the incumbent DGP, Rashmi Shukla (IPS:1988:MH), who is scheduled to retire on December 31, 2025.

The seven names sent to the UPSC are:

  1. Sadanand Date (IPS:1990:MH) – Director General, National Investigation Agency
  2. Sanjay Verma (IPS:1990:MH) – DGP, Legal and Technical
  3. Ritesh Kumar (IPS:1992:MH) – Commandant General, Home Guards
  4. Sanjeev Kumar Singhal (IPS:1992:MH) – DGP, Anti-Corruption Bureau
  5. Archana Tyagi (IPS:1993:MH) – DGP, State Police Housing and Welfare Corporation
  6. Prabhat Kumar (IPS:1993:MH) – Director, Civil Defence
  7. Prashant Burde (IPS:1993:MH) – DGP, Railway Police

Among them, Sadanand Date is widely viewed as the frontrunner. The senior-most officer in the cadre, Date is slated to retire on December 31, 2026, which would allow him a two-year tenure if appointed as DGP. Known for his extensive experience with central agencies, he is considered a strong contender for the top job.

According to our sources, the state government may request the repatriation of Sadanand Date from central deputation—similar to how the Centre recently repatriated Rajesh Aggarwal (IAS:1989:MH), Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Aggarwal is expected to succeed Chief Secretary Rajesh Kumar (IAS:1988:MH), whose extended tenure ends this month. A similar move, sources indicated, is being anticipated in the case of the DGP post as well.

MP DGP Kailash Makwana gets one-year extension; to retire in December 2026

By

In line with Supreme Court guidelines mandating a fixed two-year tenure for police chiefs, Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Kailash Makwana (IPS:1988:MP) will now retire on December 1, 2026, a year later than initially scheduled.

The Madhya Pradesh Home Department has issued an order extending his service to ensure compliance with the tenure requirement. Makwana, a 1988-batch IPS officer, was appointed to the state’s top police post on December 1, 2024, and was earlier due to retire on December 1, 2025, upon turning 60.

However, as per the Supreme Court’s directive, every DGP is entitled to a fixed two-year term irrespective of their superannuation date. Accordingly, the state government has revised his retirement to align with the completion of his tenure.

The order also lists 17 IPS officers in Madhya Pradesh scheduled to retire this year on attaining the age of 60. DGP Makwana, earlier listed as the 16th officer, has now been excluded from the list following the extension.

With this decision, Makwana will continue to lead the state police force until December 2026.
