Tata Steel bags 2-year French rail contract.

Indian giant Tata Steel won a two-year contract to supply over 2,00,000 tonnes of highly wear-resistant rail tracks to a French rail operator.

Tata Steel's Europe unit will supply the majority of SNCF's rail requirements from its plant at Hayange in northern France.

'We made a significant investment in Hayange to be able to produce the 108m long rail required by SNCF. Our heat-treatment facility means we are also now able to produce highly wear-resistant rail in lengths up to 108-metre - a key requirement of most of our European customers,' Henrik Adam, Tata Steel's Chief Commercial Officer, said recently.
