Re: Type of Steel Material

Hi,
Tata is insanely expensive. When somebody makes claims like "only tata is the primary producer and adhere to the indian quality standards" one has to be very careful. We have used Indus for our project and found it to be very good material. Any TMT manufacturer who has ISI certification should ...
