IndusInd Bank appoints Rajiv Anand as MD and CEO for 3 years
PTI
Last Updated:
New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI) IndusInd Bank on Monday announced the appointment of Rajiv Anand, former Deputy Managing Director of Axis Bank, as its new MD and CEO.
The board, basis approval of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), have at its meeting held on August 4 approved the appointment of Rajiv Anand as 'Additional Director' in the category of Managing Director and CEO and Key Managerial Personnel of the bank for three years, IndusInd Bank said in a late evening regulatory filing.
The appointment is effective from August 25, 2025, up to August 24, 2028, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the bank, it said.
He would assume charge at a time when the bank is reeling under a slew of issues stemming from alleged irregularities of the top management in recognising bad loans and trading reverses.
Anand retired as deputy managing director of Axis Bank on August 3 upon completion of his third term as a director on the bank's board.
He joined Axis Asset Management Co. Ltd. in 2009 as its founding MD and CEO. In his next assignment, he was appointed president of retail banking at Axis Bank. Subsequently, he was inducted into the board of the Axis Bank and took over as the head of wholesale banking.
Last month, the RBI extended the tenure of the committee of executives of the bank for one month as IndusInd Bank expected the regulator's clearance for its new MD and CEO by that time.
The situation arose following the resignation of MD and CEO Sumant Kathpalia in the wake of accounting lapses costing Rs 1,960 crore to the lender in the 2024-25 fiscal year.
The private sector lender in March reported the accounting lapses in the derivative portfolio, estimated to have an adverse impact of approximately 2.35 per cent of the bank's net worth as of December 2024.
The original tenure of the Committee of Executives constituted on April 29 was till July 28, 2025. PTI DP RHL

Life's truest companions: Delhi CM at 29th Book Fair
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the 29th Delhi Book Fair 2025 on Wednesday at Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan.

(PTI) The CM described the fair to be an emotional experience and said, 'Books are life's truest and most selfless companions. They ask for nothing and offer everything. This fair is a celebration of that timeless friendship.' She urged people to read more, saying that books are not merely collections of printed pages; they are guiding lights that shape generations. Delhi minister for art, culture, and languages Kapil Mishra was the guest of honour and praised the book fair for being an intersection of creativity, knowledge, and expression. He proposed that future editions of the fair be held as complete literary festivals, and have platforms for authors, poets, students, and literature enthusiasts to engage and collaborate with each other. This year's edition also includes the 25th Stationery Fair and the 9th Office Automation and Corporate Gifts Fair. Meanwhile, the publishers said the fair is not the same as it used to be. 'Readers have decreased, there is less advertisement and costs are higher. We've been coming here for 15 years, but have been running losses for last 4 times,' said Hemant Madaan, who owns bookshops across the city. 'We've set up multiple stalls here, and that also cost us around ₹7 lakhs,' he added. Smaller publishers found the event to be beneficial. 'I've been coming here for 10 years. My business has grown a lot due to this event,' said Sanjay Jain, the owner of Vidhi book center in Ahmedabad. Visitors said that they had not been able to spot books in languages other than Hindi or English. 'There is a decent collection, but the books should be sorted better,' said a visitor. ' Another visitor said, 'It's a good place to build your collection. This was my first time attending the fair, and I will be coming back next time.' India Trade Promotion Organisation chairman Pradeep Singh Kharola, Federation of Indian Publishers president Naveen Gupta, and senior government officials were also present at the event.

CM: Submit revised estimated cost for Barapullah elevated road project
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta has asked the public works department to submit the revised estimated cost for the Barapullah elevated road project to get it approved by lieutenant governor VK Saxena. The department has already spent nearly Rs 1,239 crore on the project against the sanctioned amount of Rs 1,260 crore, while a portion of the road measuring 690 metres is yet to be built. The overall cost of the 3.5-km road, connecting Sarai Kale Khan in the west of the Yamuna with Mayur Vihar in the east, is expected to exceed the sanctioned amount. The additional chief secretary of the finance department observed at the meeting of the expenditure and finance committee last week that approval was being sought only for the arbitration award of Rs 175 crore, due to the delay in completing the project. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi While deferring the proposal seeking Rs 175 crore, the committee, chaired by the chief minister, directed that PWD prepare a comprehensive proposal for the cabinet by taking into account all the pending liabilities, including the arbitration awards, for seeking the approval of the LG for the revised estimated cost, which, sources said, reached Rs 1,330 crore. It added that PWD should issue instructions to the executing agency to expedite and complete the project within the stipulated time frame. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like See Results for Car Selling Sites Search Now Undo Phase III of the Barapullah elevated road was approved by the then LG on Dec 12, 2014, and an amount of Rs 1,260.6 crore was sanctioned for it. Though the elevated road was to be completed by Oct 17, 2017, the project was delayed because govt failed to acquire a portion of land owned by private individuals. The case went into arbitration, leading to an award of Rs 120 crore in favour of the contractor. The amount eventually increased to Rs 175 crore, with interest and goods and services tax added to it. To enforce the award, the contractor filed a petition in Delhi High Court . Following the court's directions, PWD paid an amount of Rs 170 crore to the contractor. Gupta has asked the department to seek legal opinion on whether the arbitration order can be challenged now. The committee also deliberated that an inquiry was needed to ascertain the loss to the govt exchequer due to payment of arbitration awards without seeking the opinion of the law department and fixing responsibility for the erring officials. The chief minister last week ordered an inquiry by the anti-corruption branch for approval and acceptance of arbitration awards by authorities "not competent to accept" and delay in execution of the project.
