Ministry of Heavy Industries Recruitment 2026: 1 Consultant Grade I Vacancy

This role is ideal for Master's degree holders or those with a 4-year professional degree in relevant subjects, possessing at least 3 years of experience in PSU/Government/Research/Industry, particularly in manufacturing, capital goods, heavy engineering, or machine tools. Individuals with additional qualifications (M.Phil., M.S., LLM, Ph.D), research experience, and published papers are highly preferred. Retired government officers with relevant experience are also strong candidates.

Candidates without a Master's or equivalent 4-year professional degree, or less than 3 years of relevant work experience, should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with comprehensive allowances like medical benefits or HRA will find this contractual position unsuitable, as such benefits are not provided. The age limit of below 45 years (with relaxation for retired government servants) is a strict criterion.

This position offers a prestigious opportunity to work as a Consultant Grade I within a Central Government Ministry, the Ministry of Heavy Industries. It involves contributing to national policy-making and strategic initiatives in international trade and the capital goods sector, offering significant professional impact. While a contractual role, it provides a unique platform for experienced professionals or retired government servants to leverage their expertise at a high level. Long-term growth directly within the Ministry is subject to contract extensions and performance, with a maximum tenure of 4 years and 3 months and not beyond 65 years of age.
