Rama TMT is an example of ‘Innovation meets products excellence’. Striking a fine balance between the life of the structure and its cost, these corrosion resistant bars help in reducing the rate of corrosion from the time of construction and thus enhance the life span of the structure.
Rama TMT bars, ranging in size from 8mm to 40mm, are available in grades including Fe 500, Fe 500D, Fe 550, and Fe 550D, all with a standard length of 12m.
