India’s Tallest Rail Bridge Stands Strong on SAIL’s 16,000-Tonne Steel Supply

The Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has played a key role in the construction of the world’s tallest railway bridge over the Chenab River in Jammu & Kashmir, supplying a massive 16,000 tonnes of steel for the project. This bridge, which now stands 35 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower, is a major milestone in India’s infrastructure journey and a symbol of the country’s engineering capabilities.

 

Key Highlights:

The construction of the bridge involved advanced engineering, with the use of about 29,000 metric tonnes of steel in total, 10 lakh cubic metres of earthwork, and more than 66,000 cubic metres of concrete.
