Raw Material

 

TSI purchases most of its raw material from Rashtirya Ispat Nigam Limited’s Vishakapatnam Steel Plant. The material is taken from RINL’s Kalamassery yard. The purchase is routed through National Small Industries Corporation Limited’s (NSIC’s) Ernakulam branch. The material is transported using trucks and delivered as wire rods at our manufacturing facility.
