State-owned, Steel Authority of India (SAIL) is planning to establish universal rail mill with 1.2 million tonne capacity at its Bhilai facility in Chhattisgarh. In this regard, the company will invest Rs 1,600 crore to produce heavy rails for the first time in India.

The mill has been designed to produce heavier rail sections up to 75 kg/m and head-hardened rails for the first time in India. The mill is likely to be operational by next year. Till date, SAIL has supplied over 16 million tonnes of rails to the Railways with a total rail length of around 4 lakh km, enough to encircle the earth 9.5 times.

Recently, SAIL had bestowed with ‘MOU Excellence Award’ in the Mining & Metals category. Starting from 2002-03, it is for the eighth consecutive year that SAIL has won the MOU Excellence Award.
