In a key administrative decision, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the extension of the temporary upgradation of the post of Joint Secretary to the level of Additional Secretary in the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), Ministry of Finance.
The position, which had earlier been elevated to the rank of Additional Secretary, will continue in its upgraded status until 24 November 2026. The post is presently held by Shri Alok Pandey, Indian Postal Service (1994 batch).
This extension underscores the government’s emphasis on strengthening leadership within DIPAM, a department that plays a crucial role in managing public investments, overseeing disinvestment processes, and ensuring efficient asset management of state-owned enterprises.
By retaining the post at the Additional Secretary level, the government aims to provide enhanced administrative authority and continuity in policy execution in one of the most critical financial arms of the Ministry of Finance.
