SAIL powers landmark railway connectivity in Northeast India with Bairabi-Sairang Project

Newdelhi:17/9/25:Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL), the leading public sector steel producer and a Maharatna company, has supplied approximately 15,000 metric tons of high-quality steel products for the 51-kilometer Bairabi-Sairang railway project in Mizoram. This significant infrastructure project was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi on September 13, 2025.

For this project, SAIL has supplied approximately 10,000 metric tons of high-grade R-260 Prime rails from its flagship Bhilai Steel Plant. Additionally, SAIL has supplied approximately 5,000 metric tons of other essential steel products, including plates, TMT and structural steel, from its Bokaro, Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur and Burnpur steel plants.

The Bairabi-Sairang project is a testament to India’s commitment to boost country’s connectivity with every region. This comprehensive supply underscores SAIL’s position as a reliable partner in nation-building, providing the strength and quality needed for critical infrastructure.

SAIL continues to play a vital role in the development of Northeast India by supplying steel for key sectors such as infrastructure, railways, power, hydroelectric projects, and border connectivity. Its contribution to the Bairabi–Sairang Railway Project further reinforces SAIL’s enduring legacy in powering India’s landmark infrastructure initiatives – including the Chenab Railway Bridge, the Jiribam–Tupul–Imphal Broad Gauge Project, the Atal Tunnel, the Bandra–Worli Sea Link, and the Dhola Sadiya and Bogibeel bridges, among others.
