Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) announced on Sunday that it would produce the country's first steel structures that are fire-resistant.
The company will target markets like refineries, bridges, metro projects, industrial structures, steel, power plants, hospitals, commercial, and residential buildings, according to a statement from JSPL. This will be the first time a particular steel grade is produced in India.
'In its rail mill in Chhattisgarh, JSPL has received BIS certification to produce the country's first fire-resistant steel structures. The structural steels of BIS 15103 grade are intended to withstand temperatures of up to 600 degrees Celsius for three hours ' the statement read.
Currently, the grade is imported.
According to the company, the new grade steel constructions will contribute to reducing the country's reliance on imports.
'The company's license will fundamentally alter how India's infrastructure and safety standards are built. The end consumers would receive much-needed assurance from fire-resistant steel, helping to create a safer AtmaNirbhar Bharat 'Bimlendra Jha, MD of JSPL, remarked.
Being a member of the OP Jindal Group, JSPL is a titan of the industrial world, dominating the steel, mining, and infrastructure industries with global investments totalling USD $12 billion.
