Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: The Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) has selected Rajeev Kumar Sinha for the position of Director (Technical) at Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited (CMPDIL), a Schedule ‘B’ public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Coal.

Mr Sinha is presently serving as General Manager (TS to CMD) in the CMD Secretariat of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited.

The recommendation was finalized during the PESB selection interview held on July 2, 2025, and his name has now been forwarded to the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for final approval, subject to vigilance clearance.

Two Names Were Shortlisted in Final Round

Earlier, two names were recommended by the PESB in the final round of evaluation for the role:

  • Rajeev Kumar Sinha, GM, CMD Secretariat, BCCL
  • Nripendra Nath, GM, Magadh–Sanghmitra Area, Central Coalfields Limited (CCL)

After careful consideration, the PESB selected Rajeev Kumar Sinha as the top choice for the post.

Selection After Intense Screening

The selection process was competitive, with 11 senior executives from major public sector coal companies and allied industries interviewed by the Board. Other key contenders included:

  • Nripendra Nath, General Manager, Magadh-Sanghmitra Area, Central Coalfields Limited
  • I.P.D. Rathi, GM/HOD (Safety and Rescue), Northern Coalfields Limited
  • Dhanraj Akhare, GM (Co-ordination), BCCL
  • Anup Hanjura, GM, Pench & Kanhan Area, Western Coalfields Limited

Executives from NLC India Ltd, NTPC Limited, and GHCL Ltd also featured among the applicants. Despite strong competition, Sinha’s experience and strategic role in BCCL’s CMD Secretariat appears to have given him the edge in the selection.

Industry Experience and Background

With years of operational and administrative expertise in the coal mining sector, Rajeev Kumar Sinha has played a pivotal role in technical coordination and leadership at BCCL. His tenure in the CMD Secretariat exposed him to top-level decision-making, technical evaluations, and corporate strategy — all crucial for the role of Director (Technical) at CMPDIL.

As Director (Technical), Sinha will oversee mine planning, exploration, design, and technical advisory functions — responsibilities critical to CMPDIL’s role as the technical consultant and think-tank for Coal India and its subsidiaries.

About CMPDIL

Headquartered in Ranchi, Jharkhand, CMPDIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Coal India Limited and serves as a premier consultancy organization in the fields of mining, geology, environment, and coal resource development.

It plays a central role in coal exploration, geological reports, mine planning, and the adoption of new technologies across India’s coal sector.
