Chandigarh, 19 November 2025

After the approval of the Ministry of Home Affairs to raise the ceiling limit of Central Industrial Security Forces (CISF) personnel to 2.2 lakh, a total of 11,729 newly passed-out Constables (GD) from six Regional Training Centres across the country have joined the Force. This large-scale induction will result in an 8 percent increase in the overall operational strength of the CISF, including 1,896 women constables.

Sharing information in this regard, a CISF spokesperson posted at the Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat, Chandigarh, said that the CISF—which provides security to more than 360 vital installations, including airports, seaports, nuclear plants, space facilities, metro networks, steel plants, and units located in high-threat regions—will receive a significant operational boost from this augmentation.

The spokesperson said that recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs has assigned the security of Jewar Airport, Navi Mumbai Airport, Bhakra Dam, and other critical infrastructure projects to the CISF.

With this added manpower, CISF is set to further strengthen its footprint across India’s most sensitive and high-traffic installations, reaffirming its commitment to providing secure, efficient and technology-enabled protection to the nation’s critical infrastructure.
