Jindal Stainless has supplied premium 301N austenitic stainless steel for the Bangalore Metro Phase 2 project. Earlier this year in August, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) inducted three trainsets from the CRRC – Titagarh Consortium into service under its Phase 2 metro expansion. The order covers 53 trainsets, underscoring the scale and importance of this project for Bengaluru’s rapidly growing metro network.
The company has supplied 1,031 metric tonnes of 301N stainless steel till date, with further deliveries scheduled as the project advances. The supplied material, valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion protection characteristics, superior fire and crash resistance, and low carbon footprints, has been used across the operational metro coaches, including roofs and structural parts.
The company has been associated with metro projects globally, including supplying stainless steel material through Alstom India for metro projects in Queensland, Melbourne, and Sydney, in addition to supplying for almost every Indian metro project in India.
