Steel Authority of India (SAIL), a Maharatna and India's largest steel-making public sector company, has supplied around 45,000 tonne of steel for the upcoming Mahakumbh Mela 2025, which is set to take place in Prayagraj. This total supply includes chequered plates, hot strip mill plates, mild steel plates, angles, and joists. SAIL had previously provided steel for the Mahakumbh Mela in 2013, demonstrating its on-going commitment to supporting this significant public event.

The steel supplied by SAIL will be integral to the construction of various temporary structures required for the smooth and successful execution of Mahakumbh Mela 2025. These structures include pontoon bridges, passageways, temporary steel bridges, substations, and flyovers. The key customers for this steel supply include the Public Works Department (PWD), Uttar Pradesh State Bridges Corporation, the Electricity Board, and their suppliers.

SAIL expressed its pride in contributing steel to such a large-scale event, which also stands as a symbol of the nation's rich cultural heritage. The company reaffirmed its commitment to supporting national projects that strengthen the country's infrastructure and promote its cultural and social welfare.
