SAIL-BSP inches closer to produce worlds longest Rail
BHILAI. The new Universal Rail Mill (URM) of state-run Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) in Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has achieved the milestone of successfully rolling out the first rail through its Tandem Mill.
The feat would pave way for the steel maker to roll out 130-meter rail from the mill located in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district. The 130-meter rail would be World’s largest rail in a single piece. The new URM is part of BSP’s modernization programme that would scale up capacity to 7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
A SAIL spokesperson said technology and equipment suppliers along with BSP team were working relentlessly for last one and half month to make the Tandem Mill ready for rolling. “With the trial rolling of more than 100-meter-long rails from Tandem mill, BSP is only inches away from the commercial production of world class and longest rails,” he added.
