(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) Bengaluru, September 10, 2025: Jindal Stainless, India's leading stainless steel manufacturer, has supplied premium 301N austenitic stainless steel for the Bengaluru Metro Phase 2 project, marking another milestone in its contribution to the country's urban transport infrastructure. The yellow line, as part of this project, was recently inaugurated by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

The supplied material, valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion protection characteristics, superior fire and crash resistance, and low carbon footprints, has been used across the operational metro coaches, including roofs and structural parts.

Commenting on this development, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal, said: "We are proud to support the modernisation of India's metro infrastructure, which is central to strengthening urban mobility and aligns with the nation's vision of building resilient and sustainable transport systems.
