Subramanyam, Joint Secretary, MNRE; Pradip Kumar Das, Chairman and Managing Director, IREDA; Bijay Kumar Mohanty, Director (Finance), IREDA; Sanjay Kulshrestha, Chairman and Managing Director, HUDCO; along with other senior officials.

Addressing the gathering, Sarangi highlighted the importance of team building and nurturing young professionals to prepare them for leadership roles.

Welcoming the MNRE leadership, Das extended New Year greetings to employees and noted that IREDA’s workforce has expanded from 168 employees on 1 January 2025 to 227 employees in 2026.
