India Ports Global has been functioning without a full time MD since September 2020. The Appointment Committee of Cabinet (ACC) is headed by PM Modi has appointed Mr. Mukundan for a period of five years. He has been operational in the ports sector for a period of 38 years and was recently the terminal head of oil refinery at Ruwais owned by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.

Located in the Sistan-Baluchistan province of Iran’s South-eastern coast (outside Persian Gulf), Chabahar Port gives India a sea-land access route into Afghanistan and Central Asia through Iran’s eastern borders. The project is considered a strategic venture for the development of regional maritime transit traffic into Afghanistan and Central Asia.
