Brand premium bands
- Premium (Tata Tiscon, Jindal Panther): +₹3–₹5 per kg over secondary — best for foundations and main columns.
- Mid-market (SAIL, JSW, Kamdhenu): benchmark rates — excellent for general RCC.
- Economy/secondary: cheaper, but bend/texture tests are the buyer's risk — avoid in load-bearing RCC.
GST and billing on steel
- TMT attracts 18% GST; a clean invoice lets commercial projects reclaim input credit.
- Ask for a mill test certificate with the delivery — that is your proof of grade.
- Weights are billed on the rod as per IS 1786; reject any rate that adds unexplained handling.
Buying checklist for steel
- Confirm grade + diameter + mill name on every invoice line.
- Inspect rods for clean, well-defined ribs and no rust pitting.
- Order 5–8% extra for lap lengths, bends and cutting wastage.
- Get the delivery drop planned for crane or manual offloading before paying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which TMT grade should I buy — Fe500 or Fe550?
Fe500 is the standard for most residential RCC work. Move to Fe550 only where drawings specify higher yield strength or for heavily loaded commercial structures. Using a higher grade does not automatically make a slab better — follow the structural design.
Why is branded TMT more expensive?
Brands like Tata Tiscon and Jindal Panther invest in tighter bend-and-stretch testing, anti-corrosion ribs and certified mill traceability. For foundations and vertical RCC the insurance is worth the premium; for temporary work you can pick economical rods.
Can I blend two brands in one structure?
A single structure should use one brand and grade for consistency. Blending different grades of steel in critical RCC is not recommended unless separately cleared by your structural engineer.
