PSU sells Rs 52 insecticide-treated mosquito nets to govt for Rs 237 each: CBI FIR

It was the sole bidder despite lacking its own manufacturing capacity, quoting rates of Rs 228-Rs 237 per unit. The PSU — Hindustan Insecticides Ltd (HIL) — secured a Rs 29 crore contract from the Central Medical Services Society (CMSS) in 2021-22 for the supply of more than 11 lakh Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) for malaria control over public procurement platform, Government e-Marketplace (GeM). New Delhi, Jul 7 (PTI) The CBI has registered an FIR in an alleged procurement scam wherein insecticide-treated mosquito nets, priced at Rs 49 to Rs 52 per piece, were reportedly procured and sold to the CMSS under the Union health ministry at inflated rates of Rs 228 to Rs 237 per piece by a public sector undertaking, officials said on Monday. HIL went on to subcontract the work to empanelled vendors, providing raw materials and chemicals while vendors undertook production and insecticide treatment. Bypassing the lowest bidder, Shobikaa Impex, the officials at HIL initiated a procurement chain that ultimately channelled the order through Mohinder Kaur Knitting Pvt Ltd, a company with no manufacturing capacity of its own, the FIR alleged. According to the FIR, the actual production was executed by VKA Polymers, which sold nets to JP Polymers — a closely linked firm — at Rs 49 to Rs 52 per unit. By the time the product reached HIL via this chain of intermediaries, the price had ballooned to Rs 87 to Rs 90 per unit. HIL, in turn, supplied the nets to CMSS at Rs 228 to Rs 237 per piece, raising suspicions of price manipulation and kickbacks. VKA Polymers and JP Polymers are interlinked entities managed by family members — Anand Samiappan and M. Sakthivel, respectively– the FIR alleged. It added that Balvinder Singh Tandon, Director of Mohinder Kaur Knitting, coordinated the execution of HIL's purchase orders through his company. The inflated pricing funnelled through multiple companies allegedly caused a loss of Rs 6.63 crore to CMSS, while HIL and its intermediaries profited from the markup. In its FIR, the agency has named Mohinder Kaur Knitting Pvt. Ltd, its Director, Balvinder Singh Tandon, VKA Polymers Pvt. Ltd and its Director, Anand Samiappan, JP Polymers & Nets and its partner M. Sakthivel, besides unidentified officials of HIL India Ltd and the Central Medical Services Society. The CBI has invoked sections of criminal conspiracy and cheating under the Indian Penal Code, as well as provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, against them.

Saheli Smart Cards with names, photos to offer free-bus ride to Delhi women

'To obtain the digital card, applicants must be bona fide residents of Delhi, aged 12 years or above, and have valid proof of address. They must register online through the DTC portal, select a participating bank, and complete full KYC verification at the chosen bank branch,' the official said. An official said the smart card will be issued under the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) framework. Unlike the existing paper-based pink ticket system, the card will allow free travel only on DTC and Cluster buses, and support recharge and top-up functionality for use on other transit modes. New Delhi, Jul 7 (PTI) Saheli Smart Card, a personalised travel pass carrying the holder's name and photo, will facilitate free rides to women and transgender residents of Delhi aged 12 and above on all DTC and Cluster buses. Once the KYC process is completed, the card will be dispatched to the applicant's registered address by the bank. Giving more details on the required documents, the official said Aadhaar card, PAN card, proof of residence in Delhi, passport-size photograph, and any other documents under bank-specific KYC norms will be needed. The Delhi government, in its communication to banks and financial institutions, has invited expressions of interest for the issuance of these cards. It said these cards will usher in a new era of safe, accessible, and paperless public transport for women and transgenders in the city. The official further clarified that while the government will not charge commuters for travel, issuing banks may levy a nominal card issuance or maintenance fee as per their policies. In case the card is lost, users must report it to the issuing bank, which may provide a replacement as per its terms. The card will need to be activated through the Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS) of DTC before use. Though the card can be used on other transit systems after topping up, the free travel benefit is restricted to DTC and Cluster buses under this scheme. 'No card will be issued directly by DTC. Registration is completely online through the DTC portal, and cards are issued only after full KYC verification by the selected bank,' the official added. The Delhi Transport Corporation operates 44 depots across Delhi and one in Noida. It has an active fleet of 3,266 buses, comprising 1,950 electric and 1,694 CNG buses. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, during her Budget Day address in March, criticised the earlier practice of issuing pink paper tickets to women, alleging that it was a major source of corruption under the previous administration. She announced that the new system would allow women to travel without having to rely on paper tickets, instead using secure digital cards.
