TMT bar from our own stock, on the day you pour.
Metal Ministry Inc has been a stockholder and supplier of TMT steel bars for 20 years — Fe 500, Fe 500D, Fe 550, Fe 550D and corrosion resistant grades, held in our own yards. Pay 100% in advance and 1% comes off your landed cost. Builders and developers can also settle half the order in ready units on barter.

Nine grades. One of them is right for your drawing.
Every grade page carries the full IS 1786 specification, the weight chart and an honest note on where that grade is the wrong choice.
Six things we hold to
Reinforcement steel is a commodity. The supplier is not.
1% cash discount on 100% advance
Pay the full invoice value before despatch and 1% comes straight off your landed cost. On a 100 MT order that is a real saving, not a scheme.
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.
25 years in the same trade
Working in structural steel since 2000, through three cycles of the market. The people who take your call have been doing this for decades, not months.
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.
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.
Credit after five clean transactions
First five orders run on advance. After that we sit down and work out a credit line that matches your project cash flow.
Rolling margin held to plus-minus 2%
Weight per metre is checked on our own weighbridge before despatch. You pay for the steel you receive, not for the tolerance.
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.
Hard outside, soft inside
A TMT bar is not uniform steel. The quench line hardens the outer skin into tempered martensite while the core stays hot and stays ductile. That is why a good bar carries load like high-strength steel but still bends round a mandrel on site without cracking.
It is also why the process matters more than the brand. A bar quenched too aggressively is brittle. A bar quenched too little is soft. What you see on the mill test certificate is the proof that the line was running correctly on the day your heat was rolled.
Hot rolling
Billets are rolled down to the finished diameter at around 1,000 °C and leave the last stand still glowing.
Quenching
The bar passes through a high-pressure water jacket. The outer skin hardens into martensite in a fraction of a second while the core stays hot.
Self-tempering
Heat trapped in the core flows back outward and tempers that hardened rim into tough tempered martensite.
Atmospheric cooling
On the cooling bed the core transforms slowly into ductile ferrite and pearlite. Hard outside, soft inside — that is the whole trick.
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.
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.
100% advance. Every order earns the 1% cash discount. This is where the working relationship gets built.
We sit down with your team, look at your project pipeline, GST returns and payment history, and agree a credit line.
Typically 30 to 45 days against PDC or bank guarantee, sized to your monthly offtake and reviewed every quarter.
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.
Test it, and reject it if it fails
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.
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.
Both legs invoiced with GST
Steel is invoiced as a normal sale, the unit is conveyed under a separate registered agreement. Both sides stay clean on tax and audit.
Typical size
Barter structures make sense from 200 MT of steel upwards, where the unit value and the steel value can be matched sensibly.
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.
Cities we supply
Stockyards in Kalamboli and Bhiwandi, stock points across the country, and mill-direct loading in the eastern belt.
