GRSE CMD Recruitment 2026

GRSE Chairman and Managing Director Recruitment 2026: Overview

Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE) is recruiting its Chairman and Managing Director through the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB). The company builds warships and auxiliary vessels for the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard, alongside ship repairs, diesel engines, portable steel bridges and other engineering products. This fixed-term leadership appointment is at a Schedule A public sector enterprise under the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence; the notice records its move to Navratna status.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Company setting: GRSE has its registered and corporate office in Kolkata. Its operations include units in and around the city and a diesel-engine plant at Ranchi, giving the chief executive a company-wide remit across shipbuilding and related engineering activities.
• Appointment period: The appointment lasts for five years from joining, until superannuation or until further orders, whichever comes first. This means the stated term is subject to the other endpoints in the appointment conditions.
• Immediate absorption: Central Government officers, including Armed Forces and All India Services officers, and applicants from public sector banks, financial institutions and autonomous bodies are considered only on an immediate-absorption basis.
• Commitment to join: Your application must include an undertaking that you will join if selected. PESB will reject an application that omits this commitment.
• Withdrawal after interview: If you later say you will not join, the circular provides for a two-year bar on consideration for board-level posts in Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). The period runs from the interview or appointment-offer date, depending on when you withdraw.
• CPSE-specific exception: For an applicant already working in a CPSE, the stated bar concerns other CPSEs and excludes the applicant’s own enterprise. The notice says requests to relax these withdrawal provisions will not be entertained.
• Employer routing: Your employer category determines who forwards your application. Government officers use their cadre authority, while public sector applicants use the relevant organisation or administrative authority. Private-company applicants apply directly to PESB.
• Online forwarding: Except for private-company applicants, the designated authority must forward your application through the online system. Completing your own form does not replace this employer-side action.
• Submission format: PESB will reject applications sent physically or by email. Incomplete applications and those that do not reach the online system within the prescribed timelines will also be rejected.

Application Submission Notes

The notice directs you to the PESB website for the form linked to this job description. It also provides a registration link for nodal officers and competent authorities, so your forwarding authority may need to register before handling your application.
