Bhubaneswar, June 12:<\/em> Abhay Kumar Behuria on Wednesday formally assumed charge as Director (Finance) of National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) under the Ministry of Mines, Government of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behuria, a seasoned finance professional with over three decades of experience, joins NALCO after a successful stint as Executive Director (Finance & Accounts) at Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), a key unit of the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). His leadership at RSP was marked by record operational and financial milestones, including achieving all-time high EBITDA and profit before tax, despite adverse market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alumnus of Utkal University with a First-Class B.Com (Hons.) degree, Behuria is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI). He also holds an Executive Diploma in Business Valuation from the Board of Advanced Studies & Research, ICMAI, further strengthening his financial and strategic credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his tenure at RSP, Behuria was credited with a series of transformative initiatives, including the closure of non-viable units, resource optimization, and an emphasis on cost control, resulting in significant operational savings. He also led several digitalisation projects such as the implementation of SAP in Mines, automated invoicing, and vendor information management systems. His proactive measures in resolving legacy financial and legal disputes led to notable recoveries and improved governance frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcoming Behuria to the leadership team, NALCO CMD Brijendra Pratap Singh expressed confidence that his proven track record in financial management, strategic foresight, and digital transformation would be a significant asset for the company. \u201cWith Shri Behuria joining as Director (Finance), NALCO\u2019s leadership has been further fortified, and we look forward to leveraging his expertise to drive growth and operational excellence,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behuria\u2019s appointment comes at a pivotal time for NALCO as the company sharpens its focus on capacity expansion, technology-driven efficiencies, and sustainable growth initiatives in the aluminium sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
