Mumbai, Dec 20 (PTI) Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS) on Sunday said the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has approved the appointment of Nand Kishore as the group's executive director.

Till now, Kishore was serving on the IL&FS board as non-executive director, the company said in a release.
