According to Chief Secretary Govinda Bahadur Karki, Sah was selected from a shortlist of three candidates recommended by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies through an open competitive process.

Sah is an experienced official who has previously served in various capacities within Nepal Oil Corporation.

He secured the post after competing against Kaushal KC and Sanjiv Kumar Dev in the final selection process.
