Jagdamba Steels Pvt Ltd, a flagship company of Shanker Group, has launched its brand new product — Rhino Steel Rebar in Fe 500D grade — in the local market.

The newly launched Rhino 500D is a new generation high-strength and ductile ribbed reinforcement bar, as per a media release. It is different from other normal rebars in its method of manufacturing, combination of both physical and chemical properties.

Rhino Steel Rebar in grade Fe 500D comes with a combined restriction of impurities like sulphur and phosphorous to a maximum of 0.075 per cent, which ensures higher strength and ductility in the rebar.
