A year after the government headhunter failed to find any suitable candidate for top job at ONGC, the Oil ministry has proposed raising of eligibility age as well as a shorter tenure for the new chairman and managing director of India’s top oil and gas producer.
The ministry has proposed that any candidate to be eligible for consideration should not be more than 60 years of age on the date of occurrence of vacancy, according to the ministry’s office memorandum sent to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on June 17.
The vacancy arose after Shashi Shanker superannuated on March 31, 2021.
