Metro Station Railing Manufacturer India — Platform, Staircase & Walkway Railing for Metro Rail Projects
Metro station railing must withstand 3.0 kN per metre crowd load — three times the residential standard. Sun Railings has completed platform, staircase and concourse railing for Hyderabad Metro Rail, Stages 1 to 6, for L&T, with IS 875 heavy-duty structural certification on every installation.
Metro railing is in a different category from residential — the structural load requirements are three times higher because of crowd pressure, the finishes have to withstand daily heavy use, and the IS 875 documentation has to be stamped and signed before a single piece goes on site. We completed 40+ L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad stations and we know exactly what HMRL specification looks like. Every piece is fabricated at our Jeedimetla factory to the same standard. If you're tendering for a metro project, call us early — lead time planning is everything on infrastructure contracts.

Metro vs Commercial vs Residential Railing — Load Specification Comparison
Public transit environments carry significantly higher crowd loads than commercial or residential applications. This comparison shows why metro-grade railing requires a different specification to standard stainless steel railing or residential balcony systems.
| Parameter | Metro / Airport (IS 875 Public) | Commercial (IS 875 Cat B) | Residential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral load | 3.0 kN/m | 2.0 kN/m | 1.0 kN/m |
| Railing height | 1050mm minimum | 900–1000mm | 900mm |
| Tube wall thickness | 2.0mm minimum | 1.6–2.0mm | 1.2–1.6mm |
| Post spacing | 1000mm max | 1200mm max | 1500mm max |
