The Union Government has appointed Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth as the new Chief of Army Staff, marking a significant leadership transition in the Indian Army. The appointment comes ahead of the retirement of the current Army Chief, General Upendra Dwivedi, who is set to leave office on June 30.
Lieutenant General Seth brings nearly four decades of military experience to the country’s highest Army position. During his long career, he has held several key commands and led important formations across India’s border regions. His experience includes overseeing strategic operations and managing critical responsibilities in sensitive areas of national security.
Defence officials noted that Seth’s extensive service record and leadership experience have prepared him for the role at a time when the Army continues to focus on modernization, operational readiness, and border management. His appointment reflects the government’s confidence in his ability to guide the force through future challenges.
The transition is expected to be carried out smoothly, ensuring continuity in military leadership and ongoing defence initiatives. The Indian Army remains one of the country’s most important institutions, playing a vital role in safeguarding national security.
With his appointment, Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth begins a new chapter of leadership aimed at strengthening the Army’s capabilities and continuing its commitment to serving the nation.
