Bokaro: The Public Enterprises Selection Board has selected Amarendu Prakash, the director in-charge of Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL), as the new chairman of the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL).
The selection process involved interviews with seven candidates, including director-in-charge of Bhilai Steel Plant Anirban Dasgupta, director-in-charge of Durgapur Steel Plant BP Singh, director commercial of SAIL VS Chakraborty, and executive director of SET (Ranchi) Jagdish Arora.
