A day after removing IAS Dilip Kumar Yadav, Kshitij Singhal, has been appointed as the new Commissioner of Indore Municipal Corporation.
Singhal, a 2014 batch IAS officer, is the batchmate of Dilip Kumar Yadav.
Singhal has earlier served in Ujjain Municipal Corporation and a power distribution company.
The change came after the state government removed Commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav following the deaths of 15 people allegedly linked to contaminated water in Indore.
The state government also posted 3 IAS officers – Akash Singh, Prakhar Singh and Ashish Pathak – as additional commissioners. Among them, Akash Singh and Prakhar Singh are direct-recruit IAS officers, while Ashish Pathak is a promoted IAS office
Dilip Kumar Yadav, who was posted as Indore Municipal Commissioner in September, 2025, had the shortest tenure as so far, serving for only about four months.
