Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is gearing up to commence trial production of head-hardened (HH) rails, primarily used in metro rail and freight corridor projects, by the end of this month. The Chairman of SAIL, Amarendu Prakash, disclosed the company’s plans.
Initial Deferred Timeline
Initially, SAIL had aimed to initiate the trial production of HH rails in August. However, this timeline was deferred due to increased demand for standard rails, specifically the 880 grade, by the Indian Railways. Prakash explained this adjustment in a recent interview with PTI.
