Manoj Singh Elevated to Member (Operations & Business Development) on Railway Board

Manoj Singh, who has been serving as Additional Member (Marketing and Business Development) on the Railway Board, has been appointed as Member (Operations and Business Development) — a full Board-level position that also carries the designation of Ex-officio Secretary to the Government of India. Singh is an Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) officer. The Railway Board is the apex body for managing Indian Railways, and a full Member-level appointment carries significant policy and operational authority. The Operations and Business Development portfolio involves oversight of freight and passenger traffic planning, commercial strategy, and the coordination of revenue-generating initiatives across the national rail network. Singh's promotion from Additional Member to full Member status reflects recognition of his performance in the marketing and business development domain, where he would have worked on improving rail's competitive position in freight markets and advancing passenger revenue strategies. As Ex-officio Secretary, his decisions carry the weight of a Government of India officer at the senior-most administrative level.
