Business of the company and over view

Indian Exporters of Steel products faced the problem of radio contamination detection in the raw material used to produce the forgings, your company also has felt the dent of the same. Many consignments, which were shipped, through midway had to be called back for testing of radio contamination. Your Company not only has installed various instruments to check the contamination but also invited officials of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board to inspect the factory site thoroughly. Your company has obtained a certificate that no radiation level above the natural background radiation level was observed by them on day of their visit as well the company is suitably equipped with radiation monitoring instruments.

The company continues to enjoy 0.89 % anti Dumping Duty on its products exported to USA and this gives huge advantage to the company over its competitors.

All these augur well for the future of your company and we see significant growth in the years to come.
