The full read
Yogendra Kumar Varshney is leaving TNPL after just 13 months as ED (Operations) and CRO. The resignation is effective 27 June 2026 (more than a year away) and the company says it is for personal reasons with no material issues. No successor has been named yet. For a micro-cap PSU with a market cap of ₹1,003 crore and a trailing ROE of just 0.2%, losing a senior operational leader is notable but not alarming given the long handover period. The departure is unlikely to move the stock, but the open question remains who will run operations come mid-2026.
