JSPL becomes first Indian firm to develop rails for high-speed corridors

Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) has become the first and only Indian manufacturer to successfully develop Heat Treated (HT) Rails suitable for high speed and high axle load applications.

The Indian Railways has projected a requirement of 180,000 MT per annum of this high-grade 60E1 1175 Heat Treated (HT) Rails. Indian Railways has launched a project to upgrade the railway track system to handle axle loads of 25MT and speeds of up to 200 km per hour. Railway's research arm Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO) has approved the newly developed 60E1 1175 Heat Treated (HT) Rails of JSPL.
