CII Northern Region Appoints Anjali Singh as Chairperson

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Northern Region has appointed Anjali Singh, Executive Chairperson of Anand Group, as its new Chairperson for 2025-26. The appointment follows the untimely death of Sunjay Kapur, Chairman of Sona Comstar, who had taken charge as CII Northern region’s Chairman earlier this year. Singh will now lead CII's operations across seven northern states – Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and the union territories of Chandigarh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh. 

Singh brings decades of experience in corporate governance and strategic leadership. She chairs the Anand Group's Supervisory Board and holds executive positions at Gabriel India and Dana Anand India. Currently, she also co-chairs the CII National Coalition for the Future of Mobility and has previously led the CII Haryana State Council. She also serves as Chairperson of the Western Region of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA). 

Speaking about her new role, Singh acknowledged the difficult circumstances, saying: "This is a moment of both reflection and responsibility. While I step into this role under extremely sad circumstances, I remain fully committed to serving both the Region and the Nation to the best of my ability."

“My key priorities will include driving next-generation reforms across the Northern Region states, launching district development programmes to enhance industry competitiveness, and scaling ESG implementation across all industry sizes. We will also focus on setting up new skill centres to meet future workforce demands, promoting digital and tech adoption among SMEs, and creating an enabling environment for greater participation of women and underrepresented groups in industry. Additionally, we aim to facilitate best practice sharing across states to accelerate learning, foster innovation, and ensure consistent progress across the region,” she concluded.
