Anoop Kumar Mittal was the Former Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of NBCC, [2] [3] responsible for overseeing policy and strategic decision making of the company. His career at NBCC spans over 30 years. Prior to his appointment as the CMD in 2013, Mittal was Director of Projects division in NBCC.

In 1978, he attended Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Punjab, to pursue Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. [4] In recognition of his work in civil and construction engineering, he was conferred with the title of Doctor of Philosophy (Honoris Causa) by the Chancellor, Singhania University, Rajasthan in 2013.

Under Mittal's leadership, NBCC has adopted innovation in construction processes while developing sustainable residential, commercial, institutional and office projects while also nearly doubling its turnover to Rs 7,096 crore.

Career

Mittal began his career in 1982 with M/s Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd, a civil engineering organization in the construction sector.

He joined NBCC in 1985 and by 1999, as Deputy General Manager, he led the construction of first DMRC Metro Station in Seelampur. He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming the Head of the Strategic Business Group in 2006. He spearheaded projects across the country, including solid waste management projects, environmental projects under AMRUT and defence housing projects in 12 cantonments. In 2010 as the Executive Director (Engg.) and Head of Business Development, his initiative secured INR 7,000 crore worth of new works to NBCC – an all-time high in the company by a single incumbent.

He also supervised projects in the Republic of Maldives being funded by Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India. Upon assuming office of Director (Projects) in 2011, he became responsible for the execution and implementation of projects both at home and overseas. Mittal was appointed CMD on 1 April 2013. Under his leadership, NBCC achieved 'Navratna' Central Public Sector Enterprise status and nearly doubled its turnover from Rs 3,348 crore in 2012-13 to Rs 7,096 crore in 2017-18. The profit after tax stands at Rs 372.14 crore as on 31 March 2018.

The order pipeline stands at almost Rs 80,000 crore as on 31 March 2018. His innovative business strategies to ensure operational efficiency and faster growth led NBCC to set up subsidiaries such as NBCC Services Ltd, NBCC International Ltd, NBCC Engineering and Consultancy Ltd and NBCC Environment Engineering Ltd. Mittal has steered functional, structural and policy reforms for NBCC’s overall growth and aligned the organization with national flagship schemes like Smart Cities Mission, Housing for All, Skill India Mission, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Namami Gange.

After retiring from NBCC, Anoop Kumar Mittal became involved with the trust responsible for designing and constructing the Shree Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The trust sought his help [5] in ensuring that the temple was constructed with the best quality, given his extensive experience in construction and architecture. Mittal's contributions have been highly valued by the trust and are expected to ensure that the temple is built to the highest standards of quality. His involvement in this philanthropic endeavor is a testament to his commitment to giving back to society even after his retirement from a successful career at NBCC.

Controversy

Anoop Kumar Mittal was mentioned in a complaint filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding the Pragati Maidan redevelopment project worth around Rs 2,100 crore. [6] However, it is worth noting that during a meeting on March 8, NBCC's vigilance department informed its Board that the CBI chargesheet did not find any evidence against Mittal. [7] This news brings some relief to Mittal, as it suggests that the allegations against him could not be substantiated. Mittal, an accomplished professional, continues to lead NBCC with dedication and focus, ensuring the smooth progress of its important projects.

Making NBCC a Green Builder

Mittal has driven NBCC’s efforts to be a sustainable builder that uses the latest available technology to reduce its impact on the environment. A few initiatives are:
