In a key development, the Central Government on Thursday (November 20, 2025) approved a two-year extension for the Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs) of two major Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
The Competent Authority has cleared the extension of Thillaivasan Prabhu (IOFS:2001), who serves as CVO of Cochin Port Authority (CoPA), Kochi, for another two years beyond December 25, 2025. His tenure will now continue from December 26, 2025 to December 25, 2027, or until further orders.
Similarly, the tenure of Ajay Madhukar Mhetre (ITS:1998), CVO of Western Coalfields Ltd. (WCL), Nagpur, has also been extended for two years beyond December 26, 2025. His extended term will be valid up to December 26, 2027, or until further orders.
Both officers were originally appointed as CVOs on the same day—November 25, 2022—for a three-year term. Prabhu assumed charge on December 25, 2022, while Mhetre took over on December 26, 2022.
