RINL introduces revised promotion policy for executives

Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, has unveiled a comprehensive revised promotion policy for its executive cadre, effective retrospectively from June 30, 2026.

The policy, a copy of which is with The Hindu, was formally introduced following approval by the RINL Board during its 387th meeting held on September 21, 2026, according to an official source.

Executive pay scales and grades have been systematically organised into distinct clusters, ranging from Cluster A through E up to the E-8 grade, to streamline career progression. Promotions within and across clusters are tightly coupled with performance appraisal ratings, cumulative credit points, length of service, and structured interview assessments.
