ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has marked a major milestone in nation-building by supplying critical steel for two of India’s most ambitious railway projects—the Chenab Bridge and Anji Khad Bridge. AM/NS India provided 70% of the steel for the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab River and 100% for the country’s first cable-stayed railway bridge, the Anji Khad.
Both bridges, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stand as symbols of India’s engineering prowess and its Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. AM/NS India supplied 25,000 MT of high-strength, customised structural steel for the Chenab Bridge, engineered to withstand extreme altitude and seismic conditions. For Anji Khad, 7,000 MT of tailored fabricated steel structures were provided, manufactured and fabricated in-house at the Hazira facility.
Despite logistical challenges in Jammu & Kashmir, the company executed precision planning and agile supply chain operations to ensure timely delivery. Director and VP, Sales & Marketing, Ranjan Dhar, called it a symbol of India’s growing self-reliance. In Kolkata, steel industry experts noted this achievement has reinforced AM/NS India’s reputation as a reliable supplier of advanced steel, potentially boosting demand for similar high-grade steel in eastern India’s infrastructure expansion.
