Adani’s coal mining operations in the Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh are not currently advertising any new, publicly listed vacancies for direct mine-site labor as of this writing. The company’s primary asset in the region, the Parsa East and Kente Basan (PEKB) block, has been under production for years, and hiring for operational roles typically occurs through local contractors or via the state’s employment exchange, not through national job portals. If you are seeking work there, your best bet is to register with the District Employment Office in Anuppur and check the notice board at the project’s site office in Chhatarpur village, rather than relying on online listings.
The PEKB mine, operated by Adani’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Parsa Kente Collieries Limited (PKCL), supplies coal exclusively to the 1,200 MW Chhatrasal thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh. According to the Ministry of Coal’s annual report for FY 2023-24, the block has a peak rated capacity of 15 million tonnes per year, and it has been in operation since 2014. Because the mine is already at a mature stage of its life cycle, large-scale hiring for mine development—such as overburden removal or initial infrastructure—has long concluded. Current openings, if any, are limited to replacement positions (e.g., retirements, resignations) or short-term maintenance crews, which are rarely advertised beyond the local area.
For job seekers, the practical reality is that Adani does not post Anuppur-specific vacancies on its corporate careers page. A review of the company’s official recruitment portal (careers.adani.com) as of late October 2025 shows no openings tagged for Anuppur or for PKCL. Instead, the company lists roles for its larger operations in Odisha, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. This is consistent with how Adani manages remote coal sites: hiring is decentralized, with the site HR team and local contractors handling most blue-collar recruitment. For instance, heavy earthmoving machinery (HEMM) operators, electricians, and fitters are usually sourced from nearby towns like Kotma, Bijuri, or Shahdol, often through word-of-mouth or contractor networks..jpg)
One important caveat: be wary of any online advertisement claiming “Adani coal mining latest vacancy Anuppur” that asks for an application fee or security deposit. The company’s official policy, stated in its vendor and employee code of conduct, prohibits charging candidates for employment. Scammers frequently exploit the name of large mining firms in this region, especially in the Shahdol-Anuppur belt, where unemployment is high. Legitimate recruitment for PEKB is done through the site’s own HR office, and any third-party agency must be registered with the Madhya Pradesh Labour Department. You can verify a contractor’s license by asking for their registration number and cross-checking it with the district labour officer..jpg)
If you are determined to get a job at this mine, your most effective strategy is physical presence. Visit the PKCL site office at Parsa East (near the village of Chhatarpur, about 25 km from Anuppur town) on a weekday morning, carrying a copy of your resume, a valid ID, and any relevant trade certificates (e.g., ITI in mining, diesel mechanic, or a valid mining vocational training certificate from the Directorate General of Mines Safety). Ask to speak with the HR officer or the mine manager’s office. Also, check with the local trade unions—the Indian National Mineworkers’ Federation (INTUC) and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha have a presence in the area, and they sometimes get notified of openings before they are publicly announced. Finally, keep an eye on the weekly employment bulletin published by the Anuppur District Employment Exchange, which occasionally lists unskilled and semi-skilled roles for the mine. Do not expect a quick online application process; this is a site where relationships and local registration matter far more than a digital job board.
