Shyam Metalics Forays into Crash Barriers with Expansion Plans

Shyam Metalics, one of India’s leading integrated metal producers, has announced its entry into the crash barrier segment, targeting an 8–10 per cent market share in FY 2025–26. The company has commenced production at its Giridih facility, which has an annual capacity of 24,000 MT and employs over 150 professionals. 

To meet rising demand, driven by a projected 25 per cent annual growth in crash barrier requirements, Shyam Metalics is investing Rs 500 million to set up a new facility at Sambalpur with 60 KTPA capacity, catering to South and West India. In FY 2026–27, it plans an additional Rs 50 crore expansion at Giridih to diversify into transmission line towers, railway electrification structures, solar panel structures, and lighting poles. 

The Giridih plant, operational since 2014, began producing crash barriers in August 2025. It operates round-the-clock, adhering to global and IS standards, and is equipped with a galvanisation unit for durability. The portfolio includes W Metal Beam Crash Barriers, Thrie Metal Beam Crash Barriers, and W Beam Railway Guard Rails, serving projects for Indian Railways and National Highways. 

Brij Bhushan Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, Shyam Metalics, said: “The launch of our crash barrier unit marks a significant step in strengthening India’s road and railway safety. With a 24,000 MT capacity and 150 professionals driving precision and innovation, we are confident of achieving an 8–10 per cent market share in the coming fiscal. This business alone can add nearly 50 per cent more value to our Giridih operations in the next few years.” 

Over the next fiscal year, the company also intends to explore exports to the Middle East, Europe and Africa, tapping global infrastructure opportunities.
