India’s Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory has transferred technology for producing DMR-249B defense-grade steel plate in thicknesses of 8–30 mm to two major steel plants. Technology for DMR-249A and DMR-249BK billets was also transferred. The high-strength, low-alloy products are intended for naval ships and submarines, supporting domestic production of specialized steel and reducing dependence on imports.
