Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL), a leading stainless steel manufacturer in India, has supplied high-strength tempered 301LN grade austenitic stainless steel for the Vande Bharat sleeper coaches, which were produced by Integral Coach Factory (ICF) and Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).

The stainless steel supplied by Jindal Stainless has good corrosion resistance, which can lower life-cycle costs. Its excellent crash and fire resistance also secure passenger safety and maintain safety standards in railway transport.

Besides, tempered 301LN grade austenitic stainless steel used in the train decreases the weight of each coach by around two tons, which improves energy efficiency and reduces carbon footprint, in line with the sustainable development goals of modern railway transportation.
