Rebar and TMT steel in India: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Rebar (TMT bars) in India is listed from about ₹49 for a thin bar and about ₹65,075 per tonne for 12 m bars of Fe 500 grade. Prices vary by diameter, grade and the seller's terms. Describe the size, length and quantity in a BlaBlaPrice request; the AI looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India and shows the offers it finds.

BIS certification and the mark

TMT bars sold in India must carry the BIS certification mark and a licence number, according to a steel market report. Intermediate steel products generally need BIS certification before they can be sold or imported. Ask the seller to show both the mark and the licence number. One major rebar brand also holds a GreenPro eco-label, so ask whether the brand you want has it.

Season and when to buy

The climate is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season. Heavy rain slows concrete work and can block site access, so plan steel delivery for the drier weeks. Check that your site stays reachable during the wet season, especially if the delivery is a heavy lorry.

Units, grades and delivery

Rebar is sold by the piece and by the tonne, so confirm the unit before you compare prices. Sizes are given in millimetres, lengths in metres (12 m is common in listings), grades such as Fe 500 or Fe 550D, and weights in tonnes. A government policy on iron and steel procurement applies to contracts above ₹500,000 in value, so check whether a large order falls under it.

What to put in your request

Give the diameter, the grade, the quantity in tonnes or pieces, the bar length, the delivery address with lorry access, the date you need the steel and your budget. Ask for the price per tonne and whether delivery is included.
