Steel Authority of India (SAIL), recognized as a Maharatna public sector steel manufacturer, has delivered approximately 15,000 tonnes of steel for the 51-kilometer Bairabi–Sairang railway project in Mizoram, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 13 September 2025.
Out of this total, nearly 10,000 tonnes consisted of high-grade R-260 Prime rails produced at the Bhilai Steel Plant, while around 5,000 tonnes of plates, TMT, and structural steel were sourced from SAIL’s facilities in Bokaro, Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur, and Burnpur.
This project enhances India’s connectivity initiatives in the Northeast, with SAIL’s contribution underscoring its position as a reliable partner in the nation-building process. A representative from SAIL remarked that the company’s steel “delivers the strength and quality essential for critical infrastructure.”
SAIL has consistently backed transformative projects across the country, including the Chenab Railway Bridge, Jiribam–Tupul–Imphal Broad Gauge, Atal Tunnel, Bandra–Worli Sea Link, Dhola Sadiya, and Bogibeel bridges. Its participation in the Bairabi–Sairang project reinforces its legacy in driving India’s significant infrastructure development.
