Sunil Kanti has taken charge as the executive director and refinery head of Indian Oil Corporation-owned Guwahati Refinery.

In a statement on January 29, the PSU refiner said that Kanti was appointed as the head of the facility following the transfer of P K Basumatary, who was the chief general manager and refinery head.
