State-owned Coal India Limited (CIL) has announced a performance-linked reward (PLR) of ₹1.03 lakh for its non-executive employees ahead of the festive season. The decision, which also covers workers of its subsidiaries and state-run Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL), will benefit over 2.48 lakh employees in total.
According to the Ministry of Coal, the incentive was finalized during the 6th meeting of the Joint Bipartite Committee’s standardisation panel. The payout is aimed at recognising the dedication and contribution of non-executive workers who form the backbone of coal mining operations.
The PLR will be disbursed on a pro-rata basis linked to attendance and will involve a financial outlay of ₹2,153.82 crore for CIL and ₹380 crore for SCCL. Of the total beneficiaries, around 2.1 lakh are CIL employees and 38,000 are SCCL workers.
Officials noted that the reward not only ensures fair compensation but also boosts morale, productivity, and job satisfaction among the workforce. With CIL accounting for more than 80% of India’s coal output, the move underscores its role in securing energy needs while supporting worker welfare.
The ministry highlighted that this initiative reflects the commitment of CIL and the government towards employee motivation, welfare, and building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
