The CAG has pulled up Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) for inefficiency in project planning, tender finalisation and project execution.
In its report on "Modernisation and Expansion Plan in Steel Authority of India Limited" presented in the Parliament, the CAG said SAIL failed to implement the modernisation and expansion plan, MEP within the fixed time frame.
