RAIPUR: The SAIL-Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) in Chhattisgarh is going to add another feather in its cap by its valuable contribution to another major defence project - indigenous submarine for the Indian Navy.
BSP has almost completed the work on the development of a testing facility for the manufacturing of steel to be used in the making of the nation’s first indigenous submarine, BSP sources said.
However, the manufacturing of the plates will be done only after the testing and inspection by the teams of the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL) and the Indian Navy. The testing this time will be ten times more than the testing done during the production of steel for INS Vikrant, they said.
