Career
Aman Kumar Singh joined the Indian Revenue Service in 1995 and later served on deputation in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Over his public service career he worked across multiple departments and held a series of senior administrative roles in the Chhattisgarh government.
Between April 2004 and March 2009 he was Joint Secretary to Chief Minister Raman Singh under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. He was promoted to Secretary in April 2009 for the Department of Energy and remained in that post until December 2013. From December 2013 to December 2018 he served as Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, overseeing portfolios that included Electronics and Information Technology and the Department of Housing and Environment. His stint as principal secretary is noted in available records as the longest-held position of that kind in a chief minister’s secretariat in the state.
During his career in the state administration he held executive positions in state agencies such as the Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society (CEO, April 2004–March 2009) and the Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA, April 2009–March 2013). He was appointed in April 2009 to the boards of four Chhattisgarh state power companies (Genco, Transco, Discom and Holding) and served on those boards through April 2016.
Kumar also served on the boards of academic institutions: he was on the board of governors at IIT Kanpur from April 2009 to December 2013 and at IIT Indore from July 2013 to December 2018. From April 2016 to December 2018 he chaired the Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran (Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Development Authority) and the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board.
In the corporate sector, Aman Kumar Singh joined RattanIndia Power Limited as chief executive officer in May 2009, a role he held until November 2020, after which he was appointed senior advisor to the board. Published material records his remuneration as senior advisor at RattanIndia Power Limited as an annual salary of Rs. 6 crores.
In November 2022 he joined the Adani Group as Corporate Brand Custodian and head of Corporate Affairs. Following the Adani Group’s acquisition of the news broadcaster NDTV, he was appointed as an additional non-executive independent director on NDTV’s board; he resigned from that directorship effective after business hours on 1 April 2023.
Public profile
During his public service career Aman Kumar Singh received recognition in the energy and governance sectors. In 2015 he was the recipient of the National Energy Conservation Award and a National Award for e-Governance conferred by the Government of India. He was listed among the country’s influential bureaucrats, appearing on a power list compiled in 2013.
Physical and personal details recorded in public profiles list his height as approximately 170 cm (5 ft 7 in), eye colour as black and hair described as salt-and-pepper. He is married to Yasmeen Singh, who previously served as a consultant to the Government of Chhattisgarh and held several director-level posts in state departments between 2005 and 2018.
Controversies and legal matters
Public records indicate that in February 2020 Aman Kumar Singh and his wife were the subject of allegations that led to an FIR registered by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Chhattisgarh. The matter involves multiple allegations concerning assets and financial transactions, including questions about a family-associated trust, land transactions, and transfers involving domestic and overseas accounts. The High Court initially quashed an FIR, but in 2023 the Supreme Court ruled that High Courts should not quash FIRs in corruption cases at the investigation stage; following that ruling Aman Singh presented himself to the EOW on 6 March 2023. A subsequent request for anticipatory bail was denied by a sessions court in Raipur.
