Our History


RBSSN Pvt. Ltd. has been established and controlled by the Saraf family, whose experience in mining industry spans over generations. The family originates from Fatehpur, in Rajasthan and with the generous blessings from the Kuldevi Shri Dholi Sati Dadi this family settled in Tumsar, Maharashtra starting manganese mining operations and also undertook coal mining in Chandrapur near Nagpur.
RBSSN Pvt. Ltd. was registered by Shri Durgaprasadji Saraf and Shri Narsingdasji Mor on 24th October 1951. The name was chosen in fond remembrance of their father, Late Shri Rai Bahadur Seth Shreeramji. The initial mining operations commenced in 1951 and later the formal fresh leases were granted from erstwhile Mysore state in 1956. The company has been exporting iron ore from various ports across the country since the beginning and also was the first to carry out exports from the Kakinada port on the east coast. Shri Gulabdasji Saraf took over the reins of the organization thereafter and presently the organization is led by his grandson Shri Ajay Saraf, son of Shri Govindasji Saraf and Smt. Swarnalata Devi Saraf, who belongs to the third generation of the organization. The company's growth has been steady and upwards over the years with a strict ethical and employee-oriented approach.
