Strengthening Indian Infrastructure for the World to Witness

The construction industry has been transformed by TMT steel bars with their superior strength, flexibility, and durability properties. Being a core of contemporary infrastructure development, these special steel products have a unique manufacturing process that is a combination of controlled cooling and mechanical treatment to produce superior performance properties.

The TMT steel manufacturing industry has a rich network of manufacturers consisting of large integrated steel facilities and special purpose rolling mills. The major manufacturers use new technology and high-quality control to manufacture TMT bars that are of international standards like the IS 1786, ASTM, and BS. It is made by heating steel billets to temperatures over 1000 deg C and then quenching the surface in water to form a hard external layer and leaving the inner core hard but ductile.

The current TMT steel manufacturers have developed extensive distribution channels to their expanding construction sector. These suppliers usually have huge stocks in their hands of different grades (Fe 415, Fe 500, Fe 550 and Fe 600) and sizes (8mm to 40mm diameter) to satisfy the different project needs. A large number of suppliers are providing value added services such as cutting, bending, and delivery planning to the construction sites.

In recent years the industry has experienced a lot of consolidation and technology development. Large producers have spent a lot of money on automated production lines, quality testing laboratories and environmental compliance systems. This has translated to consistency in products, low cost of production and increased sustainability attributes.

Some of the major market forces are high rates of urbanization, infrastructure creation projects and growing interest in earthquake proof building. TMT steel bars are also better in terms of corrosion resistance, weldability and thermal resistance than the traditional mild steel and as such, they are essential in all construction works today, such as the residential buildings, commercial complexes, bridges, and industrial structures. The supplier ecosystem includes authorized dealers, stockiest, and direct sales channels, ensuring efficient market penetration and customer service across urban and rural markets.
