The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Northern Region has announced the appointment of Ms. Anjali Singh, Executive Chairperson, ANAND Group, as the new Chairperson of CII Northern Region for the year 2025-26, following the untimely demise of Mr. Sunjay Kapur, Chairman, Sona Comstar.
Mr. Kapur, who had taken charge earlier this year, was a dynamic leader and a driving force behind several progressive industry initiatives. His passing is a profound loss to the industry and the CII fraternity.
Taking over the leadership mantle, Ms. Anjali Singh brings with her decades of experience in corporate governance, people leadership, and strategic direction across one of India’s leading auto component conglomerates. She has been a strong advocate for ‘Make in India’ initiative launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister.
In her new role, she will lead CII’s engagements across the seven Northern Region states—Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh—and the Union Territories of Chandigarh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh. Her appointment reflects not just her leadership in business, but also her deep commitment to the India growth story—one that continues to rise with resilience and ambition.
(SUBHEAD)Outlining her vision for the region, Ms. Singh said, “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.”
Ms. Singh chairs the Group Supervisory Board of the ANAND Group, which oversees the Group’s strategic partnerships, group performance, corporate governance, and long-term vision. She leads the ANAND Executive Board and holds key leadership roles as Executive Chairperson of Gabriel India and Chairperson of Dana Anand India.
The Group’s Future Tech segment, ANEVOLVE, reflects its strategic commitment to advancing clean and sustainable technologies—aligned with the evolving landscape of mobility and environmental stewardship.
She is currently the Co-Chair of the CII National Coalition for the Future of Mobility, and has held several leadership positions within CII, including Chairperson of the CII Haryana State Council (2023), Chairperson of the CII Regional Committee on Advanced Manufacturing, Co- Chair of the CII National Committee on Smart Manufacturing and Member of the CII International Council. She has also served as a Member of the Governing Body of the CII- CSM (VLFM) Initiative.
In addition, Mrs. Singh also serves as Chairperson of the Western Region of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and is a member of its Executive Committee.
Ms. Singh’s appointment signals continuity in CII’s mission to drive inclusive growth, industrial transformation, and sustainable development in the Northern Region. This recognition is not only a testament to her exemplary leadership, but also as a tribute to her unwavering commitment to building a self-reliant, sustainable, and globally competitive India.
