Reinforcing its contribution to India's next generation of sustainable mobility, Jindal Stainless has supplied about 40% of the total stainless steel requirement for India's first hydrogen-powered train.
The premium austenitic stainless steel grade X5CrNi1810, exclusively supplied by Jindal Stainless’ Jajpur and Hisar plants, has been used in the fabrication of the hydrogen train. Equipped with a hydrogen propulsion system, the train represents a significant step in Indian Railways' efforts towards adopting green mobility solutions.
Stainless steel has emerged as the preferred material for modern railway coaches owing to its unique combination of corrosion resistance, crash-worthiness, high strength-to-weight ratio, fire and impact resistance, durability, and recyclability. Its lightweight properties also contribute to improved energy efficiency, making it particularly well-suited for emerging mobility solutions such as hydrogen-powered trains.
Jindal Stainless (JSL) is one of the largest stainless steel conglomerates in India and ranks amongst the top 10 stainless steel conglomerates in the world.
