MOIL Limited has announced an internal leadership reshuffle that tightens the focus on its personnel function while reaffirming its mining operations leadership. The changes, effective 3 July 2026, see Rajesh Kumar Umesh Singh elevated to General Manager (Mines), Group Head – III, with designation as Head of Department (Personnel). In parallel, Manish Malewar will cease to be HoD Personnel, continuing in his role as General Manager (Personnel). The moves reflect MOIL’s ongoing effort to sharpen leadership within its core operational and HR functions.
Rajesh Kumar Umesh Singh brings an engineering and management background to the top job in the mines portfolio, holding a B.E. in Mining, first-class MMCC, and an MBA in HR. The new designation as HoD Personnel signals a consolidation of senior responsibility under Singh, aligning mining operations leadership with personnel governance under MOIL’s service rules.
Manish Malewar, who has been serving as General Manager (Personnel), ceases to hold the HoD Personnel designation but remains in the GM (Personnel) role. His profile includes a B.Sc., PGDLS, and LLB, underscoring a blend of technical and legal-applications expertise that MOIL has leveraged in its personnel function.
Taken together, the changes present MOIL with a targeted realignment of its executive bench—anchoring the HoD Personnel space under a senior mining leader while ensuring continuity in personnel management. As the company navigates its broader agenda, the internal shift underscores MOIL’s preference for experienced, home-grown leadership to steer both operations and people strategy.
