The ministry had organised first regional conference for enhancing steel consumption in North-East. The region was being given top priority by the government and lot of new projects were being started and executed in the region. The Indian steel companies must tap the market and serve their steel needs, the Steel Minister said.

The portal provides information regarding the different products available, specifications and pricing. Delivery at the doorstep is one of the attractive features of the initiative. Sale through the web is enquiry-based system where the registered buyer shall be sending the enquiry for his requirement of steel (mainly TMT rebars and structural products) through the portal.
