Railway Board's Pallavi Joshi Held Additional Charge as CONCOR Finance Director for 12 Days
IRAS officer Pallavi Joshi held additional charge as Director Finance, CONCOR from April 9–20, 2026, while serving at the Railway Board.
Ms. Pallavi Joshi, Executive Director Finance (Corporate & PPP) at the Railway Board, held the additional charge of Director (Finance) at Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR) for a brief but significant period stretching from April 9 to April 20, 2026. An IRAS officer, her interim assignment ensured continuity of financial oversight at CONCOR during a transitional period of less than a fortnight. CONCOR, a Navratna PSU under the Ministry of Railways, plays a central role in India's container logistics ecosystem, operating an extensive network of inland container depots (ICDs) and multi-modal logistics parks. Its Director (Finance) post is a board-level position with responsibility for capital allocation, financial reporting to the board, and regulatory compliance. Joshi's current assignment at the Railway Board involves financial matters related to corporate financing and Public-Private Partnerships — a profile that makes her well-suited to bridge leadership gaps at PSUs engaged in infrastructure-linked commercial operations. The brief interim tenure, though short in duration, is significant in terms of governance continuity. Corporate governance frameworks for central public sector enterprises mandate that board-level finance posts not remain unoccupied for extended periods without authorised coverage. Such short-term additional charge arrangements are standard practice in the Railway ecosystem when a permanent incumbent completes tenure or transitions to a new role. Joshi's assignment ensured CONCOR's finance portfolio remained under senior IRAS stewardship during this interlude.
