Quick Summary
The Companies Act, 2013 defines both Managing Director (MD) and Whole Time Director (WTD) under different sections. While a company can have multiple Whole Time Directors, there is typically only one Managing Director. Section 203 of the Act provides further clarity on the appointment of Key Managerial Personnel, including these roles.

Managing Director is defined in Clause 54 of Section 2 of Companies Act, 2013

Whole Time Director is defined in Clause 94 of Section 2 of Co.Act, 2013

Also read Section 203 "Appointment of Key Managerial Personnel" of Co.Act, 2013 for more clarity between MD & WTD

I hope this helps 👍
Both are defined in companies act
major is one company have one or more wtd while MD should be one.
