SAIL enhances rail production capacity to 2 mtpa

New delhi . The state-run Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) had increased its rail production capacity to 2 million tonne per annum (mtpa). The development is significant as it would help the country's largest integrated steel maker to meet the demand of Indian Railways (IR) besides upgrading its export portfolio. 
 
The IR had been procuring rails only from the SAIL though private steel makers were also in the race for supply. 
 
Steel Minister Chaudhary Birendra Singh on Monday afternoon inaugurated the new Universal Rail Mill (URM) in Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP).
 
The 1.2 mtpa URM was part of SAIL expansion and modernization programme that would increase BSP's steel making capacity to 7 mtpa. Business-standard
