MPERC Chairperson Recruitment 2026

MPERC Chairperson Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MPERC) is recruiting its Chairperson through a notice issued by the state government’s Energy Department. The commission is based in Bhopal and consists of a Chairperson and members. This is a statutory appointment with a defined term, and the official notice page now carries an extension of the application window.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Term of office: The appointment can run for five years from the day you take charge, subject to the statutory retirement ceiling. Your tenure therefore depends on both the term and that ceiling.
• Independence: You must declare that you have no financial or other interest that could adversely affect your work as Chairperson. The public notice links this condition to the Electricity Act, 2003.
• Leaving an existing post: If appointed, you must resign from the post you currently hold. The notice asks for an undertaking confirming this commitment.
• Governing provisions: Service conditions follow the Electricity Act and the commission’s applicable service rules, including amendments. The recruitment notice refers to these rules for the terms of the appointment.

Application Submission Notes

Send your application to the Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Madhya Pradesh, Energy Department, 2nd Floor, Mantralaya, Vallabh Bhawan-II, Bhopal 462004, Madhya Pradesh. This is the receiving address given in the vacancy circular and public notice.

If you are currently employed, your application must go through your employer. The notice also lets you send an advance copy directly to the department while the employer-forwarded application follows the prescribed route.

Corrigenda and Notices

• Extension notices: The official page records successive extensions of the application window. Use the revised closing date shown in the structured date field when planning your application.
• Latest notice dated 8 October 2026: MPERC has extended the deadline again. The original circular’s closing date has therefore been superseded.
