SAIL Supplies Steel for 51 km Bairabi-Sairang Railway Line

Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL), a Maharatna company, has supplied around 15,000 metric tonnes of high-quality steel for the 51-kilometre Bairabi-Sairang railway project in Mizoram, the Ministry of Steel announced on Wednesday. Of this, approximately 10,000 tonnes of high-grade R-260 Prime rails were sourced from SAIL’s flagship Bhilai Steel Plant, while the remaining 5,000 tonnes—including plates, TMT bars, and structural steel—came from its Bokaro, Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur, and Burnpur facilities.

The Bairabi-Sairang railway, built at a cost of over Rs 80.7 billion, marks a milestone in improving connectivity to Aizawl. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the line, which also saw the launch of three new train services: the Sairang–Delhi Rajdhani Express, Sairang–Guwahati Express, and Sairang–Kolkata Express.

The Ministry of Steel highlighted that SAIL continues to be a key contributor to Northeast India’s development, supplying steel for railways, infrastructure, power, hydroelectric projects, and border connectivity. Its role in the Bairabi-Sairang project reinforces SAIL’s longstanding 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.
