Structural TMT bars enhance building resilience and safeguarding lives and infrastructure during critical conditions.

In an interview with B2B Purchase, Lalit Beriwala, Director of Shyam Steel Industries Ltd., explains how government policies drive steel demand and revolutionise the infrastructure industry, benefiting many sectors.

Which factors are the demand drivers for Steel TMT Bars in Indian infrastructure?

Government policies are crucial for driving steel demand in India’s infrastructure sector. The recent budget announced a 33.4 percent increase in capital investment to ₹10 lakh crores, with 100 infrastructure projects identified to enhance connectivity in ports, coal, steel, and fertiliser sectors. This increased public investment and focus on capital expenditures are expected to revolutionise the infrastructure sector, benefiting the steel industry and other sectors.

The government’s emphasis on rural housing, urban renewal, smart cities, brownfield airports, expansion of existing airports, new port facilities, and highway construction further contributes to the strong demand for TMT bars. The mining industry’s increased use of TMT bars also adds to the growing demand. TMT bars are preferred for their durability, strength, and earthquake resistance, making them ideal for India’s infrastructure growth.

How do you implement robust and new-age technology to assure quality in TMT bars across construction and infrastructure?

To ensure optimal quality in indispensable sectors using TMT bars, robust and accurate procedures are driven by new-age technology. Innovative manufacturing methods like thermomechanical treatment enhance strength and durability. Automated quality control systems and stringent standards are followed, with real-time monitoring through IoT sensors and data analytics. Accreditations like the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification assure the quality and dependability of TMT bars in construction and infrastructure projects.

How are structural TMT bars altering the resilience of building construction during critical conditions?

Structural TMT bars play a crucial role in ensuring the resilience of building construction, especially during critical conditions. With exceptional properties such as high tensile strength, ductility, and earthquake resistance, they are vital components for maintaining structural integrity. In seismic events or other unforeseen circumstances, TMT bars absorb and disperse energy, minimising damage and preventing structural disasters. Their ductile nature allows them to bend and deform under strain instead of abruptly breaking, enhancing the building’s ability to withstand dynamic forces and improving overall flexibility. By employing structural TMT bars, buildings become safer, more dependable, and more resilient, safeguarding lives and the infrastructure. 

How do consumers and project owners prioritise quality amidst fluctuating metal prices?

Amidst fluctuating metal prices, consumers and project owners prioritise quality by considering several factors. They recognise the long-term advantages of using high-quality materials, including reduced maintenance costs, improved durability, and enhanced safety. They seek reliable dealers and contractors who consistently deliver quality and adhere to industry standards. Extensive research, endorsements, and supplier performance evaluations are conducted to ensure quality assurance. Innovative construction practices that offer cost efficiency without compromising quality may be chosen in certain cases.
