Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel producer, has supplied high-performance 301N austenitic stainless steel for the Bangalore Metro Phase 2 project, furthering its contribution to the nation’s urban transport infrastructure. The newly inaugurated Yellow Line, part of this expansion, was formally launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Earlier this August, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) inducted three trainsets from the CRRC–Titagarh Consortium under Phase 2 operations. In total, 53 trainsets will be delivered, underscoring the scale of Bengaluru’s rapidly expanding metro network. To date, Jindal Stainless has supplied 1,031 metric tonnes of 301N stainless steel for the project, with additional deliveries scheduled as construction progresses.
The supplied material is being used in metro coach roofs and structural components. Known for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion resistance, fire and crash safety, and reduced carbon footprint, 301N stainless steel ensures durability and sustainability for modern metro systems.
Commenting on the milestone, Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, said: “We are proud to support the modernisation of India’s metro infrastructure, a vital pillar of urban mobility and sustainable development. The use of 301N stainless steel enhances safety, longevity, and environmental responsibility, aligning with the vision of building resilient transport systems. Through our contribution to the Bangalore Metro, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainable urban mobility in India.”
Jindal Stainless has a long-standing association with metro and railway projects, both in India and overseas. The company has supplied stainless steel for metro systems in Queensland, Melbourne, and Sydney through Alstom India, and has been a material partner in nearly every Indian metro project, including Kolkata’s underwater metro, Mumbai Metro, Vande Bharat sleeper trains, Vande Metro, and India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). Since 1998, Jindal Stainless has also been a trusted supplier to Indian Railways for wagons, coaches, and key infrastructure.
With a turnover of INR 40,182 crore (USD 4.75 billion) in FY25, Jindal Stainless is scaling up its production capacity to 4.2 million tonnes annually by FY27. The company operates 16 stainless steel manufacturing and processing facilities across India, Spain, and Indonesia, and has a strong global presence across 12 countries. Its diverse product portfolio includes slabs, coils, plates, sheets, strips, wire rods, rebars, blade steel, and coin blanks.
Founded in 1970, Jindal Stainless continues to drive innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility. Its use of electric arc furnace technology significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions while enabling recyclability of scrap—strengthening the company’s commitment to a greener future.
