BSNL is now looking for a chairman: How to apply

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has invited applications for the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) position at state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL).

The move is open to candidates from both public and private sectors.

This comes as BSNL has been without a full-time CMD for two years now. Robert J Ravi from DoT was given additional charge as the company's CMD on July 15, 2024.

Applications open till July 22

The government has set up a Search-cum-Selection Committee (SCSC) under the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB).

The committee is tasked with appointing a CMD on an immediate absorption basis.

The pay scale for the post is ₹80,000-1,25,000.

The deadline for applications has been set at 3:00pm IST on July 22.

This isn't the first attempt to fill this position since P K Purwar's term ended on July 14, 2024.
