IPRCL Sr Manager Loco Recruitment 2026

IPRCL Sr. Manager (Loco) Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Limited (IPRCL) wants a Senior Manager (Loco) for its work at Paradip in Odisha. IPRCL is a joint venture of 11 Major Ports and Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, set up to build efficient rail links that move cargo in and out of the major ports.

This is a re-employment opening for retired officers. If you left Railways, another government department, a Central PSU, a Port or a government-controlled JV company, either on superannuation or through voluntary retirement, and your background is in diesel locomotive maintenance or diesel loco operations, Vacancy Circular RE-25/2026 is meant for you. The engagement is an annual contract that can be extended depending on your performance and the company's needs.

IPRCL will also give preference to applicants who know MS Office and tender management, so mention that clearly in your CV if it applies to you.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Retired officers only: You must have retired on superannuation or taken VR, and the grade you held at retirement, under either the CDA or the IDA pay pattern, decides whether you qualify.
• Upgraded pay does not count: A higher grade pay or pay scale you got under ACP, MACP or NF from your parent department is ignored when IPRCL checks your grade.
• Contract terms: The job runs on an annual contract; any extension depends on your performance and IPRCL's requirement.
• Pay add-ons: No Performance Related Pay is paid. If the company gives you a vehicle, the transport allowance stops and the cafeteria perks ceiling is cut by 1%.
• Service rules: Your appointment falls under the IPRCL Service and Conduct, Discipline & Appeal Rules, as amended from time to time.
• Shortlisting: If five or more eligible people apply for the vacancy, IPRCL may call candidates for interview in a 1:5 ratio based on relevant experience.
• Eligibility cut-off: Your age, experience and other eligibility are counted as on the last date for receiving applications.
• False information: If any detail or certificate turns out to be wrong, your candidature is cancelled, and you can be removed even after joining.
• Updates and disputes: Any change to the circular appears only on the IPRCL website. Disputes fall under courts in Mumbai, and canvassing in any form disqualifies you.
