Coal PSUs announce ₹1.03 Lakh performance-linked reward for over 2.5 lakh non-executive staff

Coal PSUs under the Ministry of Coal today announced a Performance Linked Reward (PLR) of ₹1,03,000 to their non-executive workers. The incentive was announced after the 6th meeting of the standardisation committee of the Joint Bipartite Committee for the Coal Industry, held on 25th September 2025.

The PLR will benefit around 2.1 Lakh non-executive cadre employees of Coal India Limited, its subsidiaries, and around 38,000 SCCL non-executive cadre employees.

The amount will be credited on a pro-rata basis, depending on attendance. The PLR will have a total financial implication of ₹ 2153.82 crore for CIL and ₹ 380 crore for SCCL.

The PLR aims to recognise the contribution and hard work of non-executive workers across all CIL subsidiaries & SCCL and ensure they are fairly rewarded for their efforts. The payment of PLR provides a timely boost to the workers and their families during the festive season.

The Performance Linked Reward underlines the commitment of CIL and the Ministry of Coal to worker welfare, motivation, and recognition of contractor contributions.

By providing the PLR, CIL aims to boost productivity, morale, and job satisfaction among non-executive workers, who play a vital role in the company’s mining operations and thus significantly contribute to shaping an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
