In a significant stride towards enhancing operational efficiency and procurement accuracy within India’s steel industry, the Steel Authority of India Ltd.

The event, orchestrated at the Management Training Institute (MTI) in Ranchi, marks a noteworthy development under the leadership of AK Singh, SAIL's Director (Technical, Projects & Raw Materials). 

The unveiling of the 'List of acceptable makes' book coincided with the Annual Business Plan meeting, gathering an assembly of SAIL's top brass including Anirban Dasgupta, Atanu Bhowmik, BP Singh, KK Singh, and SK Verma among others.
