The Himachal Pradesh government on Tuesday (September 30, 2025) appointed former Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena (IAS:1990:HP) as Chairman of Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) for a three-year term. The appointment order was issued within hours of his retirement from the Chief Secretary post.
According to the notification, as Chairman of HPSEBL, Saxena will enjoy the rank, status, and responsibilities equivalent to that of Chief Secretary and will report directly to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
To accommodate the change, the government transferred the incumbent HPSEBL Chairman Sanjay Gupta (IAS:1988:HP) to the Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board. Gupta too will function under the administrative control of the Chief Minister with the status and rank of Chief Secretary.
