Metal Ministry Inc has been trading structural steel since 2009. For Malad, Mumbai, that means Fe 550D TMT steel bars available in bulk, from primary mills, with the paperwork a project auditor will accept without a second look.

Mechanical and chemical requirements for Fe 550D under IS 1786:2008. These are the minimums we test against before a load is released.
PropertyRequirementWhy it matters on site
0.2% proof / yield stress550 N/mm² minSets how much load each bar carries, so it drives the steel quantity in your design
Ultimate tensile strength600 N/mm² minThe reserve above yield before the bar actually breaks
TS / YS ratio1.08 minA higher ratio means the structure warns you before it fails
Elongation on gauge length14.5% minHow far the bar stretches before fracture — this is what lets you bend it on site
Bend test5d / 6dNo cracking on the outside of the bend at the specified mandrel
Re-bend test7d / 8dCatches embrittlement after ageing, which is where cheap bar fails
Carbon0.25% maxLower carbon means better weldability and less brittleness
Sulphur0.040% maxExcess sulphur causes hot shortness and cracking
Phosphorus0.040% maxExcess phosphorus makes the bar brittle in cold weather
Sulphur + phosphorus0.075% maxThe combined limit is the single best indicator of primary versus secondary steel

Sizes and weight chart

Every load is weighed before it leaves. If the actual weight per metre drifts more than 2% below the nominal figure below, the bundle does not go on the trailer.

Sizes of Fe 550D we hold, with nominal sectional area and unit weight. Actual weight is checked on our weighbridge and held inside ±2% of these figures.

Supplying Malad, Mumbai

Office and retail construction dominates here, which means larger pours, longer bars and a strong preference for a single supplier who can hold rate across a multi-month programme.

Trailer and 16-wheeler movement is restricted inside the island city between 07:00 and 11:00 and 17:00 and 22:00, so we schedule night despatch and break bulk at Bhiwandi for tight sites. Work currently running in and around Mumbai includes Mumbai Coastal Road, MTHL Atal Setu approaches, Metro Line 2B and 9, which is where most of our tonnage in this belt goes.

This is a coastal belt

This is a coastal belt. Chloride ingress is the single biggest threat to the life of the reinforcement, and CRS or fusion bonded epoxy coated bar is worth the premium here in a way it simply is not inland. We will flag it on the quotation if your site is close enough to the shoreline to matter.

What Fe 550D is right for

Best used for: Skyscrapers, metro viaducts, flyovers, ports, power plants, raft foundations and transfer girders.

Think twice about: Small residential jobs where the price premium is not justified by design savings.

Applications

Where Fe 550D goes on site in Malad

Water tanks, STPs and effluent works

Extra-ductile D grades with tight crack-width control, because these structures are designed to not leak.

Coastal and marine structures

CRS or epoxy coated bar within a few kilometres of the shoreline, where chloride ingress decides the life of the structure.

Raft and pile foundations

25 mm to 40 mm in long lengths, usually mill-direct because the tonnage justifies it.

Boundary walls, plinths and low-rise housing

6 mm to 12 mm, where Fe 415 and Fe 500 still make commercial sense.

Why buy here

How we sell steel in Mumbai

No mystery pricing, no quiet weight games. Four things we hold to on every order.

We are stockholders, not brokers

Material sits in our own stockyards under our own name. When you release a purchase order you are buying steel that already exists, not steel we still have to source.

Third-party test certificate on request

Beyond the mill test certificate, we will draw samples in your presence and get them tested at an independent NABL-accredited laboratory. You choose the lab if you prefer.

Barter accepted from developers

Fifty per cent in cash, fifty per cent in ready units with occupancy certificate. Steel moves, your unsold inventory moves, both books get cleaner.

Rejected material is replaced, not argued about

If your consultant rejects a consignment on test results, we lift it and replace it with fresh material. No debate, no restocking charge.

Price

What decides your landed price in Malad

Contractors searching for the best price TMT supplier in bulk usually compare the wrong number. The basic rate per tonne is only one of five things that decide what the steel actually costs you by the time it is standing on site.

  • Basic rate per tonne — moves daily with mill and billet prices.
  • Rolling margin — a supplier working at the loose end of the IS 1786 tolerance delivers less steel for the same money. This is the hidden cost most people miss.
  • Freight to Malad — same day for standing stock, 24 hours for mixed loads from Kalamboli and Bhiwandi stockyards, quoted separately so you can compare it.
  • Diameter mix — small diameters cost more per tonne than 20 mm and above. A load that is mostly 8 mm will never match a load that is mostly 25 mm.
  • Payment terms — 100% advance earns a flat 1% cash discount on the basic value. On a 100 MT order that is real money, and it is the one line on this list you fully control.

Send your bar bending schedule and we will price all five lines against it. For bulk TMT sariya orders above 50 MT in Mumbai we can usually hold the rate for the full despatch window rather than repricing each trailer.

Payment

100% advance, and 1% comes off

Steel is a working-capital business. We would rather pass the funding cost back to you than build it into the rate.

100% advance against proforma invoice

Full invoice value paid before despatch earns a flat 1% cash discount on the basic value of the order.

The discount is on the invoice, not a promise

It is shown as a line on the tax invoice, so your accounts and your auditor both see it.

Rate locked for the despatch window

Once the advance is received the rate is held for the agreed schedule, whatever the mill does that week.

Part-despatch is fine

Pay for the full order, lift it in as many trailers as your slab cycle needs.

Credit policy

How credit works here, stated plainly

We do extend credit. We just do it after we know each other, and we say so upfront instead of promising terms we later withdraw.

ORDERS 1 TO 5

100% advance. Every order earns the 1% cash discount. This is where the working relationship gets built.

AFTER THE FIFTH CLEAN TRANSACTION

We sit down with your team, look at your project pipeline, GST returns and payment history, and agree a credit line.

CREDIT TERMS THEREAFTER

Typically 30 to 45 days against PDC or bank guarantee, sized to your monthly offtake and reviewed every quarter.

WHY IT WORKS THIS WAY

A supplier who hands credit to a first-time buyer prices that risk into everyone's rate. We would rather keep the rate honest and earn the credit decision.

Quality

Test it, and reject it if it fails in Malad, Mumbai

Every buyer has been burned by underweight bundles and secondary steel sold as primary. Here is what removes that risk from your side of the table.

Mill test certificate with every load

Heat number, chemistry and mechanical results, matched to the bundle tags on your delivery challan.

Third-party NABL testing on request

Samples drawn in the presence of your engineer and sent to an independent laboratory. You are welcome to nominate the lab.

Free replacement on rejection

If material fails your consultant's test, we lift it from site and replace it with fresh stock at our cost.

Primary mill material only

We do not sell secondary, re-rolled or unbranded bar as primary. The heat number on the tag is traceable to the mill.

Barter

TMT steel against ready flats: 50% cash, 50% units

For developers sitting on completed but unsold inventory, steel can be paid for partly in units instead of cash. It frees your project to keep moving without drawing down more debt.

50% in cash, 50% in units

Half the order value is settled in cash on the normal advance terms. The balance is settled against ready residential or commercial units.

Units bought at 25% to 30% below market

The unit value is fixed at a 25 to 30 per cent discount to the prevailing market rate for that project, agreed in writing before the first trailer moves.

Occupancy certificate is mandatory

Only completed units with OC received are considered. Under-construction inventory, unsold RERA stock without OC and disputed units are not taken.

Clean title, clean paperwork

Title search, encumbrance check and society or association clearance are completed before the barter agreement is signed.

Every barter proposal is assessed case by case on location, project stage, title and saleability. A discussion costs nothing and takes about a week to conclude. Read the full barter terms.
