According to a report in India Express, Lavasa will succeed vice president Diwakar Gupta, who is in charge of private sector operations, and public-private partnerships. Gupta completes his term on August 31.

Later, three members of his family, including his wife, came under the scanner of the Income Tax Department for alleged non-declaration of income and disproportionate assets. The family members have, however, denied the allegations.
