Hyderabad: Singareni management issued orders implementing revised pay scales for around 1,800 officers in executive cadres E-1 to E-7, following an assurance by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka. The decision addressed a long-pending demand from Singareni officers. The management approved the salary revision in line with the pay structure followed by Coal India.
The revised basic pay scales took effect retrospectively from January 1, 2017. However, monetary benefits became applicable from September 25, 2026, when the Singareni Board approved the proposal. Accordingly, the revised salaries were scheduled for payment from October 2026 onwards.
