The government of India has revised the eligibility criteria for the chairman position at Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), raising the maximum entry age to 59 years. Additionally, the tenure for the chairman role can now extend up to five years. Unlike previous appointments made through the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), the selection will be carried out by a search-cum-selection committee constituted by the oil ministry. This change aims to streamline the appointment process for one of India's leading oil and gas companies. ONGC plays a critical role in India's energy sector, and these adjustments reflect the government's approach to leadership appointments in public sector undertakings.
