Coal India (CIL) today said the government had given two-month extension to its acting Chairman and Managing Director NC Jha.
Jha, director (technical), with CIL was given the additional charge of CMD after its former chief Partha S Bhattcharyya retired in February.
In a filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the company said "Jha, director [technical], CIL has assumed the additional charge of CMD, CIL, with effect from December 1, 2011 for a period of two months or till a regular appointment is made."
The Public Enterprises Selection Board (PSEB), which handles hiring for the public sector firms, recommended Bharat Coking Coal chief Tapas Lahiri as the first contender and Western Coalfields Head DC Garg as the second contender for the top post in CIL.
The Coal Ministry had requested PSEB to change the selection panel into a search panel to choose the person to head the coal firm.
