Solar Energy Corp chairman removed weeks before his term's end

The Central government on Saturday terminated services of retired Gujarat-cadre IAS officer Rameshwar Prasad Gupta from the post of Chairman and Managing Director of Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). This comes just weeks before his tenure was scheduled to end in June. Notably, during Gupta's tenure, SECI barred Reliance Power from participating in tenders for renewable energy projects.
