Why Does ARS Steel Price Change Daily?
- Global hot rolled coil (HRC) prices: TMT steel is produced from hot rolled coils; HRC prices are linked to iron ore and coking coal commodity markets globally. China’s steel output decisions, Indian coal prices, and global shipping costs all transmit to Indian TMT prices within 3–5 weeks
- Domestic demand seasons: Chennai’s post-monsoon construction peak (November–January) and pre-summer active season (February–April) create higher TMT demand periods that firm up prices
- Steel manufacturer dispatch price revisions: ARS Steel and other manufacturers revise their base prices regularly; dealers in Chennai receive the revised price notification and update their selling rates accordingly
- Currency and import cost: Imported steel inputs and coal pricing are dollar-denominated; INR/USD movement affects production cost and feeds into final prices
How Much ARS Steel Is Required for House Construction?
A standard 1,000 sqft G+1 house in Chennai typically requires 3–5 metric tonnes of TMT steel for the structural frame (foundation, columns, beams, slabs). At current ARS Fe 550 12mm pricing of ₹74,500/tonne (base), the structural steel cost alone is approximately ₹2.2–3.7 lakhs before GST and delivery. Accurate quantity must come from the structural engineer’s Bar Bending Schedule (BBS).
For a sample calculation: 3 MT of ARS 12mm Fe 550 at ₹74,500/tonne (base) = ₹2,23,500 base cost + 18% GST (₹40,230) = approximately ₹2,63,730 for 12mm bars alone. Add 8mm, 10mm, 16mm, and 20mm bars per the BBS for the full steel material cost. Never order steel without the structural engineer’s BBS — ordering without it leads to over-ordering, under-ordering, or wrong diameter mix.
