Coal India Ltd (CIL) is set to hire 7000 people in the current fiscal, up by about 17 per cent from an average hiring of 6000 a year as the miner plans to recruit more executives, a top company official said.
The world’s largest coal miner expects roles of executives becoming important with more modern, automated and environment-friendly mining activities, the official said.
Coal India is also in the process of adding 2000 people in the executive cadre through “internal promotions” as most of the legal hurdles relating to the promotion of non- executives have been removed, he said.
Coal India, the holding company of its eight subsidiaries, recruits on an average 1000 officers a year but this fiscal it has been decided to double the number of fresh hiring of executives to around 2000, the CIL official said.
