Shyam Metalics, a leading integrated metal producer, has forayed into the crash barrier manufacturing segment, aiming to capture eight to 10 percent market share in FY 2025–26.

The company commenced production at its Giridih facility in August 2025, which has an annual capacity of 24,000 MT and employs over 150 professionals. The plant, established in 2014, operates continuously with a galvanisation unit and manufactures W Metal Beam Crash Barriers, Thrie Metal Beam Crash Barriers, and W Beam Railway Guard Rails for Indian Railways and National Highways projects.

To strengthen its footprint, Shyam Metalics is investing Rs 50 crore in a new facility to achieve an annual capacity of 60 KTPA, targeting South and West India. Brij Bhushan Agarwal, CMD, stated, “The launch of our crash barrier unit marks a significant step in strengthening India’s road and railway safety.” He added, “This business alone has the potential to add nearly 50 per cent more value to our Giridih operations.” The company also plans exports to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
