PNGRB 2026 Recruitment: Individual Consultant (Economist) Positions

This role is ideal for highly experienced economists holding a post-graduate or PhD in Economics, with a strong background (over 15 years) in regulatory economics, economic analysis, forecasting, and the formulation of regulations. Candidates with prior experience in regulatory organizations will be particularly well-suited. The position offers a significant lump sum monthly remuneration for those looking for a senior-level contractual engagement within a central government regulatory body.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position with no claim to permanency. Those without extensive (15+ years) post-qualification experience in the specified economic fields or who do not meet the age criteria (below 62 years) will not be considered. The role is also not suitable for those requiring additional allowances beyond the lump sum remuneration.

Engaging with the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) offers a prestigious opportunity to contribute at a senior 'Expert Adviser' level within a key Central Government regulatory body. This role provides significant influence on the economic and regulatory landscape of India's energy sector. While contractual, the high remuneration and potential for extension underscore the importance and impact of the position, making it a valuable addition to an experienced professional's career.
