India Optel Limited, a Schedule B Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Department of Defence Production, has advertised for the post of Chairman & Managing Director in the pay scale of Rs 180000 to 320000 (IDA). The vacancy arose on 1 June 2026. Applicants must be at least 45 years of age and should have at least two years of residual service before superannuation at 60.

Eligible candidates include those in a regular capacity at a Central PSU, Central Government Group ‘A’ service, Armed Forces, All India Services, a public-sector bank or financial institution, or a state PSU or private company with an average audited annual turnover of at least Rs 750 crore over three financial years. Complete applications must reach the Department of Defence Production by 5 p.m. on 1 December 2026.
The advertisement appears at a time when India Optel, a central public-sector enterprise under the Defence Ministry, has just four board-level regular employees but more than 2,200 on deemed deputation, pointing to a thin permanent leadership structure. Candidates must meet stringent age, employment-status and experience criteria, effectively narrowing the field to senior officers already in government or large PSUs. The application window closes at 5 p.m. on 1 December 2026, giving potential applicants roughly a month to prepare and submit both electronic and physical dossiers.
