The Appointments Committee of Cabinet has extended the tenure of Chairman Railway Board Satish Kumar by one year. He is now due to retire on September 1, 2026.
Kumar took the charge of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Railway Board on September 1, 2024. He is a 1986 batch Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers (IRSME) officer with over 34 years service.
In November 2022, Kumar took charge as the General Manager of North Central Railway, Prayagraj. He holds a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from the Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT), Jaipur, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Operation Management and Cyber Law from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
Kumar specialises in Total Quality Management (TQM). In 1996, he underwent specialized training in TQM under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
A significant contribution is his work on the Fog Safe Device, an innovation that has proven to be instrumental in ensuring safe train operations during foggy conditions. This device has become a critical tool for Indian Railways, significantly reducing the risks associated with reduced visibility during the winter months, particularly in the northern regions of India.
