There are 59 permanent employees and 6 Management Trainees serving in the Corporation.   All the permanent employees and Management Trainees will be given an opportunity to avail the benefit of a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) as per norms laid down by the Department of Public Enterprises.

The approval will benefit the Government exchequer in reducing recurring expenditure on salary/wages of sick CPSE which is not in operation and earning no income.

The Corporation has been continuously incurring losses since financial year 2015-16 and not earning sufficient income to meet its running expenses.  There is little scope for its revival, necessitating closure of the Company.
