In a major feat and towards building an \u2018Atmanirbhar Bharat\u2019, SAIL has supplied about 30000 Tonnes of the specialty steel for building this first swadeshi Aircraft Carrier for Indian Navy which will be commissioned on 02ndSeptember, 2022 at Cochin Shipyard Ltd.<br \/>\nThe steel supplied by SAIL for this indigenous project comprises of special DMR grade Plates. These DMR grade plates have been developed by SAIL in collaboration with Indian Navy and DMRL. The DMR plates of Grade 249 A were used for the hull and vessel interiors and Grade 249 B for the flight deck of this warship. The entire quantity of speciality steel, except for the bulb bars, has been supplied by SAIL\u2019s integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro and Rourkela. This special grade steel, DMR plates, which has been used for the construction of INS Vikrant is an import substitute.<br \/>\nCommissioning of India\u2019s first indigenous aircraft carrier is a momentous occasion for our nation during the Amritkaal of India\u2019s 75 years of independence and signifies country\u2019s confidence and prowess. This indigenous aircraft carrier is a proof of Country\u2019s technical acumen and engineering skills. This demonstration of India\u2019s self-sufficiency (Atma Nirbhar) to produce an aircraft carrier warship will reinforce the country\u2019s defence indigenization programs and \u2018Make in India\u2019 campaign. With the commissioning of INS Vikrant, our nation has forayed into the elite club of nations who can build their own aircraft carriers and it is extremely gratifying for SAIL to be a partner in creating this engineering marvel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00b7 Company supplied 30000 Tonnes of DMR Plates \u00b7 SAIL actively fueling Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India Rourkela : The country\u2019s steelmaking giant Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a Maharatna PSU, has supplied the entire specialty DMR grade steel for the nation\u2019s first indigenously built Aircraft Carrier INS Vikrant.
