Production and industrial engineers plan how things are made: process layouts, work study, capacity, quality systems, maintenance schedules and cost reduction on the shop floor.
Read this first. This page rests on one dated pay figure from a named source. That is evidence of what that source states, not of what Production Engineer roles pay across India.
Employers include manufacturers, automobile and component makers, process industries, and mining and power PSUs. The figure on this page is Coal India's Management Trainee (Industrial Engineering).
A B.E. or B.Tech in production, industrial or mechanical engineering.
Coal India recruits Management Trainees in Industrial Engineering through its own computer-based test.
Six Sigma and lean training are common in manufacturing jobs.
One dated figure is on file. It comes from an employer's own notice. It took effect on 5 May 2026. Each card says what the figure is; open "How the figure is read" for the method and what it leaves out.

Coal India Limited, Management Trainee (Industrial Engineering), E-1: Basic pay × 12: ₹60,000 per month (E-1, IDA), recorded here as ₹7,20,000 a year (Coal India Advt. 03/2026, Management Trainees (CBT-26)).
No. A figure given as basic pay leaves out dearness allowance, house rent allowance and the other allowances paid on top of it, and it is before income tax and provident fund or NPS deductions. The CTC breakup calculator on this site works out a monthly in-hand figure from a CTC.
They overlap. Production engineering centres on manufacturing processes; industrial engineering on how people, machines and materials are organised. Employers often accept either degree for production posts, and this site counts Coal India's Industrial Engineering trainee post under this role.
