Ramesh Kumar Verma (ITradeS:2013), presently serving as Deputy Secretary in the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre. According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Tuesday (December 2, 2025), the competent authority has approved the proposal of DPIIT to repatriate Verma to his parent cadre on personnel grounds with provision of extended cooling off.

Verma was initially appointed to the post through an order dated July 19, 2023, for a tenure up to March 31, 2025. His tenure was later extended to be co-terminus with the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS NMP) or until further orders. The latest repatriation order brings an early end to his central deputation.
