Jindal Steel and Power Ltd. (JSPL) has received India’s first Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licence to produce India’s first fire-resistant steel at its Rail Mill and Special Profile Mill in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh.
The fire-resistant steel structures, manufactured as per IS 15103, can be used for high-temperature or fire-prone areas.
The fire-resistant steel can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius for a maximum duration of 3 hours.
The new BIS 15103 grade steel will be used to manufacture steel structures for infrastructure projects such as industrial structures, refineries, bridges, metro rail projects, hospitals, and commercial as well as residential buildings.
