Jindal

Stainless (Hisar) Limited, India’s largest integrated stainless steel producer have signed the License agreement with Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), which entails transfer of technology for manufacturing High Nitrogen Steel (HNS) for armour applications. The agreement was signed in the presence of Union Minister of State for Defence, Dr Subhash Bhamre, and Abhyuday Jindal, Vice Chairman, Jindal Stainless (Hisar) Limited. With this, Jindal Stainless (Hisar) Limited (JSHL) now becomes India’s first company to commercially manufacture High Nitrogen Steel for the defence sector. The use of HNS will replace the existing import of Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA), thereby resulting in improved cost efficiency in material acquisition for armour applications by some 50 per cent.
