2025-09-22

Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL), a Maharatna company and leading public sector steel producer, has supplied approximately 15,000 metric tonnes of high-quality steel products for the 51-kilometre Bairabi–Sairang railway project in Mizoram. The project was inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on 13 September 2025.

For this project, SAIL provided around 10,000 metric tonnes of high-grade R-260 Prime rails from its flagship Bhilai Steel Plant. Additionally, approximately 5,000 metric tonnes of other essential steel products—including plates, TMT bars, and structural steel—were supplied from Bokaro, Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur, and Burnpur steel plants.

The Bairabi–Sairang project underscores India’s commitment to improving regional connectivity. SAIL’s contribution demonstrates its role as a reliable partner in nation-building, offering the strength and quality required for critical infrastructure.

SAIL continues to play a vital role in Northeast India, supplying steel for sectors such as railways, infrastructure, power, hydroelectric projects, and border connectivity. Its participation in the Bairabi–Sairang Railway Project reinforces SAIL’s legacy in landmark infrastructure initiatives, including the Chenab Railway Bridge, Jiribam–Tupul–Imphal Broad Gauge Project, Atal Tunnel, Bandra–Worli Sea Link, and the Dhola Sadiya and Bogibeel bridges.
