On a brink of witnessing a spike in growth, the Indian TMT bar industry is upbeat with new prospects of a surging demand. TMT saria and other long steel products comprise almost 44 MnT of the 45.10 MnT of long steel products manufactured in India, according to FY 18 figures. Government initiatives that has put a thrust on infrastructure and housing has acted as an impetus to the country’s steel TMT saria industry.

Brief History of Steel in India
The first lot of this white gilded metal rolled out of the booming steel rolling mills in the 1800s in America and Great Britain. When steel was manufactured in 1820 in Sheffield, England, it powered major social, economic and cultural changes with the world taking the first baby step towards industrialisation. The invention of the steam engine, next, put steel at the centre of the modern human civilization. 200 hundred years later, steel continues to form the backbone of a country’s economic development.
India had started to manufacture metals by as early as 1600 BCE, according to some historians and archaeologists. But as far as industrial production of steel is concerned, it all started with the indigenous Bengal Iron Works or the BIW (later known as the Barakar Iron Works) was set up in Kulti, near Asansol in West Bengal n 1874. But the defining moment in the history of Indian Steel manufacturing was the inauguration of the Tata Iron and Steel Company or TISCO in Sakchi, Jamshedpur in Bihar by the legendary Jamshedji Tata in 1907, who is often credited with laying the foundation of heavy industries in India.
The History of TMT Reinforced Steel in India
Since its initial days of steel manufacturing, mild steel bars were used as reinforcement to concrete. This trend continued well into the 1960s and these mild steel saria, bars and rods came with a tensile strength of 250 Mpa. As the construction methods and technologies advanced with time, the demand for better and stronger reinforcement with higher yield strength also rose. The next two decades witnessed great technological advancement in the realm of manufacturing stronger reinforced steel saria in India. The thermo mechanical treatment of reinforced steel was one such innovation that catapulted the Indian TMT industry into modernisation. First introduced in 1979 with IS 1785:1979, these TMT bars came with Grade Fe 415, Fe 500. In 1985, a higher grade of these bars – FE 500 (IS 1786:1985) was introduced in the market and since then the demand of TMT bars have only risen the Indian construction industry. 2008 saw the introduction of Fe 600 grade tMT bars conforming to IS 1786:2008.
The TMT bar Industry in India is one of the basic pillars of Indian economy and Maan Shakti have long since contributed to the economic development of the country, as one of the producers of best TMT saria in India.
