In a significant move towards sustainable mobility, Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless-steel manufacturer, has collaborated with CJ Darcl Logistics Limited (CJ Darcl), one of India’s leading logistics providers, to develop lightweight and sustainable stainless steel containers.

These containers, fabricated using high-strength JT grade stainless steel (also known as N7 as per BIS 6991 specifications), are designed to transport a variety of goods, including polymers, batteries, and rubber.

Jindal Stainless supplied 2.2 metric tonnes of JT stainless steel for each container, replacing the traditional carbon steel used in the sidewalls, end walls and roof. In addition, the underframes of containers are also made up of customised stainless steel tubes.

These transitions have resulted in a weight reduction of approximately 500 kilograms per container, leading to increased cargo capacity, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced operational costs. Additionally, the containers benefit from enhanced safety and prolonged life owing to the superior impact and fire resistance of JT grade stainless steel.
