Jindal Stainless has supplied stainless steel to fabricate 100 'Made in India' goods waggons for sale to Mozambique. These waggons, made of grade IRSM 44 stainless steel specially developed by Jindal Stainless for Indian Railways freight stock, were exported from Gujarat's Deendayal Port to Mozambique's Port of Nacala with the assistance of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways of the Government of India.

The breakthrough, according to the ministry, is a significant step forward in India's expanding export capacities and growing manufacturing and logistical expertise. Jindal Rail Infrastructure (JRIL) conceptualised and developed the custom-made tippler-style waggons, each capable of carrying 63 metric tonnes (MT).

JRIL has a proven track record of supplying superior quality railway wagons to Indian Railways, the private sector and international markets, and developing new designs of wagons. JRIL has designed and developed these wagons, which are lighter in weight than existing wagons.

Around 4.3 tonnes of stainless steel specially developed by Jindal Stainless was used to fabricate the floor, side, and end walls of each wagon. Choosing stainless steel over carbon steel ensures enhanced durability and longevity due to its superior corrosion resistance and inert properties, leading to a lower life cycle cost and lower life cycle carbon emissions. The wagons will help transport coal and iron ore, among other things. Of the total 100 wagons, 24 have reached Mozambique, 26 are currently at the port, and the remaining 50 are being transported to the port.
