Materials · Arihant Ispat

A good forging starts with good steel.

Arihant Ispat is the group's stockholding arm and a special-steel trader in its own right. It buys only from primary producers, and imports where a specification calls for something the domestic mills do not make well.

Why it matters

The certificate is only as good as the mill behind it.

Cheap steel is easy to find and expensive to forge. Buying from primary producers rather than the secondary market means the chemistry on the certificate is the chemistry in the bar — which is what makes a heat-treatment cycle behave the way the drawing expects.

Stock runs from ingots through to forged material across a wide size range, so a job rarely waits on a mill rolling schedule.
