Quick Answer
QUICK ANSWER
Viki Steel TMT bars are available in Fe 550 grade from 8 mm to 20 mm. The rate is flat at ₹48,500 per ton across 12–20 mm, stepping up for the two smallest diameters because thinner sections cost more per unit weight to roll. That works out to ₹48.50 to ₹49.50 per kg. Prices are indicative and change with market conditions, order quantity, availability, transport distance, taxes and delivery location.

What Is Viki Fe 550 TMT Steel?
📖 DEFINITION
TMT stands for Thermo-Mechanically Treated. During manufacture, hot-rolled bars are rapidly quenched on the surface and then allowed to cool more slowly at the core, producing a hard, strong outer layer around a softer, ductile centre. That combination gives TMT bars both high strength and the ability to bend without cracking. Fe 550 refers to the grade — a minimum yield strength of 550 newtons per square millimetre.
A higher grade carries more load for the same cross-section than Fe 415 or Fe 500, which can allow a design to use less steel overall — useful where reinforcement congestion is a concern. It remains workable enough for normal bending and binding on site. Grade selection should always follow your structural drawings.

Viki TMT Bar Price List by Size
Per-kg figures below are derived from the per-ton rate at 1,000 kg to the metric ton. They are handy for quick estimating, but steel is quoted and invoiced by the ton — use the per-ton column when comparing quotations.
| Size | Price / Ton | Approx. / kg | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 mm | ₹49,500 | ₹49.50 | Stirrups, ties, chairs and slab distribution steel |
| 10 mm | ₹49,000 | ₹49.00 | Slab reinforcement, lintels, stirrups in smaller members |
| 12 mm | ₹48,500 | ₹48.50 | Slabs, beams, staircases and columns in smaller structures |
| 16 mm | ₹48,500 | ₹48.50 | Columns, beams and footings as loads increase |
| 20 mm | ₹48,500 | ₹48.50 | Columns, heavy beams and foundations |
NOTE ON LARGER DIAMETERS
This list runs from 8 mm to 20 mm. Heavier sections such as 25 mm, commonly used in raft and pile foundations, large columns and long-span beams, are not included. If your bar bending schedule calls for them, confirm availability separately or ask about alternative brands — running short of a single diameter is enough to hold up a pour.
Factors Affecting Viki Steel Prices
Understanding the drivers explains why a rate quoted last month may not hold today.
Raw material and scrap costs
Iron ore, sponge iron and scrap feed directly into mill costs and are the single largest influence.
Energy and fuel prices
Steel making is energy-intensive, and fuel also drives the cost of moving material to Chennai.
Mill output and supply
Production levels, maintenance shutdowns and regional supply balance affect both availability and rate.
Construction demand and season
Demand typically firms in the dry building months and eases during heavy monsoon periods.
Order quantity
Full-load tonnage is normally rated differently from small part-load orders.
Bar diameter
Thinner sections cost more per unit weight to roll, which is why 8 mm sits above 20 mm on this list.
Transport and delivery location
Distance, site access and unloading arrangements all feed into the delivered price.
Taxes and statutory charges
GST at the prevailing rate applies and is confirmed on the quotation.

Why You Should Check Today’s Steel Price Before Buying
Steel is one of the few construction materials whose price genuinely moves week to week, with practical consequences for anyone ordering against an earlier budget.
A rate quoted a month ago may no longer hold in either direction. If it has risen, ordering against the old figure produces a shortfall exactly when tonnage is largest. If it has fallen, an outdated estimate overstates your budget and hides savings. Steel is usually among the largest single material lines on a residential build, so a modest percentage movement is a real number.
Three habits help: ask for a fresh quotation rather than reusing an old one, note how long the quoted rate stays valid, and on a multi-month project re-check before each major order rather than pricing the whole schedule at the start.
What a Lower Rate Does and Does Not Tell You
TMT brands sit at noticeably different price points, and Viki is positioned at the lower end of the range we stock. That prompts a fair question from buyers: is cheaper steel worse steel?
The honest answer is that price positioning and structural performance are different things. What governs performance is grade conformance and consistency — two bars meeting the same Fe 550 requirement perform to the same specification regardless of what they cost per ton. Brand pricing reflects mill scale, distribution, marketing and market position as much as anything measurable in the bar.
So rather than treating a lower rate as a warning or a bargain, verify what actually matters. Three checks cover it.
- Confirm the grade matches your structural drawings exactly — not a nearby grade, the specified one.
- Ask for the manufacturer test certificate with the consignment, and check it against what was ordered.
- Keep material consistent through a structural element, and follow your engineer’s direction on mixing sources.
If those three hold, the remaining difference between brands at the same grade is largely commercial. If any of them cannot be satisfied, the price is irrelevant — that is true at every point on the range, not just the lower end.
How to Choose the Right TMT Bar Size
Bar sizes, spacing, lap lengths and cover are engineering decisions taken by a qualified structural engineer using your loads, spans and soil conditions. Substituting a smaller diameter to reduce cost, or changing spacing on site, can compromise the structure in ways that are invisible until they matter. Use the application column above to understand what you are buying, not to revise a design. When comparing brands at the same grade, our ARS today steel price in Chennai listing is a useful reference point alongside Viki — but compare on your actual size-wise tonnage rather than the headline figure for one diameter.
