The past decade has unfolded an era of unprecedented growth and advancement for India. This has translated into an increase in the consumption and demand of Steel TMT bars. As infrastructure development waves take over metros as well as smaller cities and towns, the TMT sector has seen a steady rise in demand and is expected to continue growing in the coming years. While consumption of these products is currently growing at single-digit rates, the growth is soon expected to reach double digits given the rampant demand for high-quality TMT.

As a giant sector, the TMT industry has numerous players and is largely fragmented, which poses challenges such as unreliability and inconsistency of product quality. Nevertheless, XTECH TMT, a leading steel and rebar TMT supplier based in Guwahati has emerged as a trusted partner in this domain. The flagship brand of KD Iron and Steel Co, North East India’s prominent TMT bar manufacturer, XTECH TMT is renowned for the consistency of its TMT bars supplied across North East India through its robust network of over three hundred dealers.

Specialty TMT Bars
Catering to a region that has been classified as seismic zone five, XTECH TMT has built trust in the product, through consistency of quality and international quality manufacturing. Producing ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, & ISO 50001 certified TMT bars, the company has created a position as a reliable partner that supplies across the region through its network of dealers. Driven by the motto “our relationship with the client starts with the sale, and continues forever”, XTECH creates specialty TMT bars that can withstand earthquakes, keeping homes and structures steady and safe.

“As somebody who knows that the entire operating area is an earthquake zone, we manufacture specialized TMT for earthquake resistance only. We encounter seismic activity at up to six and a half levels every year. So, we offer customers the power to plan houses and structures that can bear such earthquakes without causing trouble. The quality of raw materials that we use, coupled with our twin double ribbed structure of the bar, gives more area for RCC bonding, which results in greater strength to the bars”, shares Dilip Goenka, Founder & Managing Director, XTECH TMT.

Apart from the range of TMT bars, the company also produces other products including billets, wire rods and coils, black wire, and nails. Across all of its products, the firm stands out for the quality of the end products. In fact, XTECH is the only company to have achieved the BIS license for its nails in the region, and the first company to achieve this in all of India. The company’s legacy of excellence has been driven by the vision to provide safety and peace of mind to the customers, who can rest assured that their houses are built with the right materials that will keep them protected.

State-Of-the-Art Manufacturing Facilities
Established in 2011, XTECH TMT, an arm of the conglomerate KD Group, has developed a thriving position in the region because of its product range, which is manufactured in the company’s world-class high-tech plants. These facilities boast a production capacity of over 1.5 lakh tons of TMT bars ranging from 6mm to 32mm in dimension in Fe-500 and 500D grades. Leveraging its in-house integrated melting, casting, and rolling factory, the company is better positioned to ensure the quality of its end products and stands as the first company that directly rolls TMT bars from molten steel billets.

“With the mission to deliver outstanding quality, value, service, and reliability, we are focused on continuous development and improvement through innovation, investment in new technology, and building capabilities of our employees and partners. Our TMT steel and rebars are produced by fully automatic, computerized machines with advanced German technology and design. We take pride in being the only company in Northeast India that has all of its products ISI-marked. Moreover, we are the only company in the state of Assam to have our state-of-art quenching system from Thermex, Germany”, adds Dilip Goenka.

Having set many region and industry firsts, the company is renowned for having established North East’s first block mill, complete with sophisticated technology in steel rolling mold. Positioned as an industry leader, XTECH, driven by the MD’s passion for sustainability, takes several measures to promote green manufacturing practices across its diverse range of products. Having established a company named KD Ecosystem, the KD Group recycles old vehicles that have been around for over fifteen years, after which the scrapped cars are then sent to its steel unit for melting.

“The carbon footprint of the units is almost negligible in comparison to what we make from the iron ore. We have also now changed the process of manufacturing, and eliminated the process of reheating the billets. Instead, now we directly get the metal melted and then cast. It is known as directly rolling. So, the use of carbon has been eliminated in reheating. Thus, we give utmost importance to the environment and our footprint. Our carbon footprint is the lowest in the industry because we manufacture TMT from the scrap generated through the old vehicles”, adds Dilip Goenka.

Future Roadmap
Motivated by the words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has on several occasions remarked that ‘the North East has to become the engine of growth for the country if the country needs to excel’, XTECH TMT is gearing up to become one of the biggest contributors to the nation’s growth from this region. The North East has long been neglected, however, the potential of the region is emerging speedily, and demand for advancement is rising every day. As North East advances, XTECH TMT is taking proactive measures such as taking on a 325 crores mega project approved by the government of Assam to make the region stronger, and more steady in the face of uncertainties like earthquakes.

“We offer our clients a tremendous value for money in every product that we supply. We are focused on developing the infrastructure of Northeast India and we have set new standards for the growing companies in the real estate sector. We follow a strictly documented procedure when it comes to testing and inspecting the raw materials before manufacturing, and believe in bringing about change in various spheres as much as possible with quality products. This focus has been the cornerstone for our success, and will continue to be our central philosophy”, lastly adds Dilip Goenka.

Boasting a line of exceptional TMT bars, pipes, tubes, nails, and more that are designed to be corrosion-resistant and earthquake-resistant, the company plans to develop and launch more products, as well as increase its production capacities to meet the rising demands. New products such as HR strips are in the pipeline, while efforts to increment the melting capacity by double are also underway.

Apart from this, the company is also developing a solar plant, through which it aims to reduce its reliability on state-offered electricity by 40 to 50 percent. Through these collective measures and endeavors, XTECH TMT, empowered by the KD Group, is taking North East’s name to the top as the manufacturer of the highest grade of specialty TMT Bars.
