Here is an opening that experienced professionals should not miss. HPCL Biofuels Limited (HBL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, has released a notification for 81 posts across three groups — Management (33), Non-Management (23) and Seasonal (25) — at its sugar and ethanol units in Bihar. The pay is stated as annual CTC ranging from ₹2.27 lakh to ₹22 lakh, depending on the post. If you are tracking PSU jobs with senior-level openings, this one has posts right up to General Manager.

Second, these are fixed-term contract positions, not permanent government jobs. In this guide from GovtJobsAlert.in, we cover the full post list, CTC bands, age rule, selection method and exactly how to send your application.

Eligibility Criteria for HPCL Biofuels Recruitment 2026
Qualifications are given post by post in the notification table, so the summary below covers the broad picture. Always read the exact row for your post in the PDF before applying.
Educational Qualification
- Engineering posts (Mechanical, Electrical, Co-gen, Shift In-Charge, ETP): degrees and diplomas in Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering, with ANSI or AVSI Sugar Engineering qualifications for sugar-technology roles — relevant for engineering government jobs seekers

- Accounts posts: B.Com., M.Com., CA or ICWA as prescribed against each post
- Manager (EDP): BCA, MCA or B.Tech. in Computer Science
- HR / Welfare Officer: MBA, MSW or PGDM in Human Resources
- Non-Management and Seasonal posts: ITI in the relevant trade such as Fitter, Electrician or Instrument Mechanic, and a Boiler Attendant 1st Class certificate where required
All qualifications must be from a UGC-recognised university, deemed university or approved autonomous institution. Courses from autonomous institutions must be equivalent to a course recognised by the Association of Indian Universities.
Experience
All post-qualification experience must be in the relevant field. The notification states clearly that the prescribed qualification and experience are the minimum — merely possessing them does not entitle a candidate to final selection. Experience is reckoned as on 27 August 2026.
Age Limit
| Detail | Requirement |

The same maximum age of 55 years applies uniformly to Management, Non-Management and Seasonal posts. Importantly, the notification states no age relaxation for any category — so 55 years is a firm ceiling here.
What is the Salary and CTC for HPCL Biofuels Recruitment 2026?
The notification does not give a pay scale, pay level or monthly figure. It gives an annual CTC band against each post, headed exactly as “CTC Per Annum (Rs. in Lakhs)”.
| Post Group | CTC Per Annum |
|---|---|
| General Manager | ₹18.00 – ₹22.00 lakh (negotiable) |
| DGM (Ethanol) | ₹12.00 – ₹15.00 lakh |
| Managers (Electrical, QC, EDP, Accounts) | ₹6.00 – ₹8.50 lakh |
| Dy. Manager (Accounts) | ₹5.00 – ₹6.00 lakh |
| Engineers, Shift In-Charge, ETP, HR Officer | ₹4.00 – ₹5.50 lakh |
| Chemists and Microbiologist | ₹4.00 – ₹5.00 lakh |
| Non-Management posts | ₹3.00 – ₹4.50 lakh |
| Seasonal posts | ₹2.27 – ₹3.20 lakh |
The CTC is negotiated at the interview stage, and the notification includes a separate negotiation format that every candidate must fill and submit along with the application.
Please understand clearly that CTC includes provident fund, perquisites and notional rent — so your monthly in-hand will be lower than a simple division of the CTC. Also remember these are fixed-term contract roles: Management and Non-Management appointments run for two years, extendable by one year, while Seasonal appointments run for two crushing seasons, extendable by one.
What is the Selection Process for HPCL Biofuels Recruitment 2026?
There is no written examination. The method differs between Management and the other two groups.
Management Positions — Interview
Eligible candidates fulfilling all criteria are interviewed through a physical interview or video conferencing. There is no exam and no syllabus for these posts.
Non-Management and Seasonal Positions — Merit List and Skill Test
Initial shortlisting is done on the eligibility criteria. Selection is then made from the shortlisted candidates on the basis of a merit list or skill test, wherever applicable. The merit list is prepared from educational marks plus work experience — so make sure you enter your qualifying examination percentage and years of experience accurately, backed by supporting documents.
Medical Fitness and CTC Negotiation
Final shortlisting for appointment is subject to submission of a Medical Fitness certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner, at the candidate’s own cost. The CTC is then finalised through negotiation. Only shortlisted candidates are informed of the interview or skill test schedule, by email.
