Anupam Misra takes charge as CMD of Hindustan Copper

New Delhi: State-owned Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL) on Wednesday said Anupam Misra has taken charge as its Chairman & Managing Director (CMD).

Misra took over from Sanjiv Kumar Singh, who superannuated on June 30, Hindustan Copper said in a regulatory filing.

Before joining HCL, Misra was Director (Marketing) with Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd (FACT Ltd).
