Madhya Pradesh is set to potentially have 13 Special Director General (SDG) rank officers next year, a first for the state. Currently, 12 SDG posts exist for senior IPS officers. Promotions are anticipated for 1994-batch officers from Additional Director General to Special DG, contingent on returns from deputation and upcoming retirements. Anant Kumar Singh's return from central deputation and Ashutosh Rai's potential promotion on January 1 are key factors in this anticipated increase.
