New Delhi: Jindal Steel & Power (JSP) plans to commission a state of art 1.2 MTPA Rail & Heavy structure mill at its Angul Steel complex in Odisha to contribute to an ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat’.
Once the new Rail mill is commissioned at Angul, JSP’s rail-making capacity will jump to 2.2 MTPA.
JSP has developed speciality rails like 1175 HT, R350 HT, asymmetric rails and 1080 HH rails at its existing 1 MTPA Rail Mill in Chhattisgarh’s Raigarh. These rails are an import substitution product, required for heavy axle loads of more than 25 MT and primarily used by various Metro Rail Corporations, High-Speed Corridors and the Bullet Train project.
The Raigarh Rail mill has been regularly supplying 260m rails to Indian Railways, DFCCs and other critical projects of national importance. Such long rails with minimum welds are crucial in increasing track safety and comfort.
“JSP is committed to supporting the Government’s initiatives of Gati Shakt Yojna, as part of the AtmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan by making available domestically produced import substitution products at competitive prices. JSP is proactively adding and augmenting further Rail manufacturing capacity to support the modernization of the Indian Rail network,” said Bimlendra Jha, MD, Jindal Steel & Power.
“Even though there is surplus Rail capacity in India, there are markets abroad we will be looking to feed as well after meeting India’s requirements,” he added.
JSP is also exporting its ‘Made in India’ rails to several countries.
