GIL Manager and DGM Recruitment 2026

GIL Manager and DGM Recruitment 2026: Overview

Gliders India Limited (GIL), a Defence Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Defence, is hiring experienced professionals for DGM, Senior Manager and Manager roles on fixed-term contracts. GIL designs and makes parachutes, inflatables and technical textiles for the Armed Forces, paramilitary users and allied customers. The recruitment spans technology, international business, finance, supply chain and administration, giving experienced specialists several ways to enter India's defence-manufacturing ecosystem.

These are leadership and specialist assignments, not trainee positions. You are expected to arrive with post-qualification industry experience and take ownership of systems, commercial relationships or corporate functions from the start. The administration position has a narrower applicant pool because it is reserved for retired executives from Defence Public Sector Undertakings.

• International Marketing: DGM and Senior Manager roles focused on defence-sector opportunities, market intelligence, overseas business, tenders, partnerships and product commercialisation.
• Finance and Accounts: A DGM role responsible for corporate accounts, budgeting, taxation, audit coordination, financial controls and management reporting.
• Supply Chain Management: Manager roles linking purchase, production, quality, finance and stores so materials, vendors, inventory and logistics support uninterrupted manufacturing.
• Administration: A Manager role for an experienced retired DPSU executive who can handle establishment matters, government references, industrial relations and organisational change.
