JSPL has entered into a technical collaboration with
NKK Corporation, Japan for technology transfer to produce superior quality,
world's longest rails of 120m-finished length, along with Parallel Flange
Beams, Columns and Sheet Piles for the first time in the country. The
agreement covers 'know-how' transfer encompassing steel-making, secondary
refining and continuous casting up to rolling and finishing of long rails
and universal beams; deputation of NKK multi-disciplinary specialists
at the JSPL plant; and training of JSPL personnel at NKK steelworks in
Japan. This technical collaboration shall enable production of long rails
requiring far less joints in tracks, ushering a new era in safer rail-travel
and making introduction of fast trains in India a reality.
