Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) has introduced a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) to reduce its workforce and cut employee costs.
The scheme targets employees aged 45 and above, including both executives and non-executives, and is part of MTNL's strategy to streamline operations.
MTNL has been struggling with a massive debt burden of over Rs 31,000 crore and aims to make the organization leaner and reduce its wage bill.
The introduction of VRS comes amid ongoing financial challenges, but sources suggest a potential revival plan may help the company avoid going to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for resolution.
