SAIL Project Scam: Will CMD SAIL remove Ahuja?
R.R. Industrial Corporation (India) P Ltd which is an MOU Trader associated with SAIL buying various products from SAIL for Trading.
Ahuja sold over 6,000 T of TMT Bars to Shree Balaji Construction, a firm belonging to R.R. Industrial Corporation (India) P Ltd
Illegal benefit could be Rs 2.0 Crores
Entire quantity has been sold after the Whistle Blower Rajeev Bhatia’s complaint on Venkatesh Infra Projects P Ltd. What can be more blatant?
Firm based in Raipur, TMT Bars shipped to Raipur, then how did Durgapur come into the picture?
Cat guarding milk - Munish Ahuja has been rewarded for all his illegal and nefarious acts. Presently he is head of Sales in SAIL CMO.
On February 21, 2026, Bureaugram did a story titled “SAIL PROJECT SCAM: SHREE BALAJI CONSTRUCTION: GSTIN on July 6, 2023 and Project Business started on July 7, 2023” where we exposed how Munish Ahuja, presently head of sales at CMO-SAIL started selling TMT Bars in the name of projects from July 7, 2023 to Shree Balaji Construction who took the GSTIN on July 6, 2023.
Now a new revelation has come to light. Rohit Jain, the proprietor of the firm is also a director in R.R. Industrial Corporation (India) P Ltd which is an MOU Trader associated with SAIL.
Further as per GSTIN registration, the principal place of business for Shree Balaji Construction is Shahid Chudamani Nayak Ward No.38, Bhimsen Marg, Samta Colony Raipur. On the same address, another firm Gangwal Charitable Foundation is registered, in which also Rohit Jain is a director.
Will CMD SAIL remove Ahuja or reap benefits through him?
Sales to Shree Balaji Construction at heavy discounts of Rs 2.0 Crores by underhandedly using the DoP given to Ahuja for Genuine Projects and infrastructure companies is a clear case of connivance with a trading firm which was already in business with SAIL. Moreover, it is not an isolated illegal act of Ahuja. His entire tenure as Regional Manager of Eastern Region of SAIL CMO from Jan 2019 to Dec 2023 is marked with such nefarious and dishonest acts only.
Munish Ahuja – Suspended after the LOKPAL Order otherwise the sales numbers would have been more staggering
FAKE Inquiry and FAKE Project: Everything is FAKE here
By virtue of being Inquiry Officer in the ‘FAKE & ARBITRARY’ disciplinary proceedings initiated against the Whistle Blower Rajeev Bhatia to take revenge on him for exposing the blatant corruption, SAIL management had handed over the entire copy of the complaint on supply of steel to Venkatesh Infra Projects P Ltd to Ahuja. Despite being fully aware of the PROJECT SCAM with respect to Venkatesh, he continued the supplies to FAKE Projects by illegally using the power / guideline given to him by the senior management of SAIL which is to be utilised for firms which are doing Project / Construction work. Nov 2022 onwards i.e. after the complaint on Venkatesh, as RM/ER, Ahuja further sold about 96,000 T to FAKE Projects
The most glaring part is that the above sales to Shree Balaji Construction was done by Ahuja while he was still conducting the inquiry against Bhatia with the copy of Venkatesh’s complaint in his hand.
In the end we leave the readers with thought-provoking questions:
1. What was the process followed to select R.R. Industrial Corporation (India) P Ltd to give subsidy of Rs 2.0 CR?
2. Rather than asking to incorporate a new firm Shree Balaji Construction and take a new GSTIN, why TMT Bars were not sold directly to R.R. Industrial Corporation (India) P Ltd who had a long-standing business relationship with SAIL and its officials?
3. Relationship with the directors used but not the firm, why?
4. What was being hidden, from whom and why?
