What Mandi Gobindgarh makes and trades
The town's steel story starts on the G.T. Road. In the 1940s, land was given to local blacksmiths at nominal rates, and workshops came up on both sides of the road. Mandi Gobindgarh railway station (code GVG), on the Ambala–Attari line in Fatehgarh Sahib district, serves the same town today.
A 2015 TERI cluster profile counted about 404 MSME units, of which about 341 were steel re-rolling units, with around 160 rolling mills actually running. It also counted about 27 melting units with induction and cupola furnaces, and around 500 traders, plus allied units such as foundries and pipe plants. The mills roll billets, ingots and blooms, mostly bought in the local market, into rounds, squares, TMT bars and press patti. A 2024 BigMint report adds wire rods, structurals and hot-rolled strip (patra) to that list. It counts 500–550 small and medium induction furnaces in Mandi Gobindgarh and says 120–125 induction furnaces are in operation at Fatehgarh, with scrap arriving from Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. In 2025, the Ministry of Steel told the Lok Sabha that Fatehgarh Sahib district has 247 steel units, including 74 induction furnace and 2 electric arc furnace units, and that crude steel output there rose from 1.91 million tonnes in 2021-22 to 2.55 million tonnes in 2023-24.
For a trader, that means buying semis and finished long products from dozens of nearby units, often in part-loads, and selling to buyers inside and outside Punjab by weight.
Ordered vs loaded weight
Each order line keeps the weight ordered and the weight actually loaded. Challans and bills use the loaded figure, with tonnage conversions for bars, sections, pipes, sheets and coils.
One order, several lorries
Split an order into delivery sub-orders by kg, metre or piece. Each sub-order has its own loading, challan and delivery status. Challans show the truck number and driver contact.
Partial lots from mills
A purchase order takes several purchase advices as a supplier dispatches in parts. Goods are received against each advice into the yard that unloaded them, with an optional Security truck-in gate.
Stock across yards
Multi-warehouse stock with per-user warehouse access, transfers between warehouses, a low-stock report and a coil ledger for strip or coil stock.
GST, TCS and Tally
CGST, SGST and IGST on each order line against HSN codes, plus TCS reporting. Tally pulls printed delivery and purchase challans through an authenticated API, and SteelERP pushes to your webhook.
AI Planning Advisor (optional)
An in-app chat grounded in your own sales analytics, running on Anthropic's Claude with your own API key. Business summaries, including customer names, are sent to Anthropic.
Where a Mandi Gobindgarh trading desk loses track, and what SteelERP records
Most disputes come down to weight: the difference between the tonnage a buyer ordered and what was actually loaded. SteelERP keeps both on the order line and bills on the loaded weight, so the challan, the bill and your stock all use the same number. Reports show which loads were assigned but are not yet on a challan (and for how long), and which challans were raised but not printed the same day.
Sales analytics break down by product, category, warehouse and customer. Delivery reports cover challans by product and customer, and supervisor loading and unloading workload. Challan PDFs can go to customers on your own WhatsApp Business account, and a weekly PDF report is emailed to the recipient list you choose.
SteelERP runs in the cloud on AWS Mumbai, gives each customer a separate database, and supports English and Hindi.

Steel ERP software in Mandi Gobindgarh: FAQs
How does SteelERP bill re-rolled steel from Mandi Gobindgarh by actual loaded weight?
Every order line carries two weights: the weight ordered and the weight actually loaded on the truck. The delivery challan and the bill use the loaded figure. Rounds, squares, TMT bars, patti and structural sections can be ordered by kg, metre or piece, and one order can be split across several lorries, each with its own loading, challan and delivery status.
Can I record billets and ingots bought from local melting units in partial lots?
Yes. One purchase order can take several purchase advices, one for each partial dispatch from the supplier, and the goods are received against each advice into the yard that actually unloaded them. An optional Security truck-in step logs each vehicle at the gate before it is unloaded.
How is GST handled when a Mandi Gobindgarh trader sells outside Punjab?
CGST, SGST and IGST are calculated on each order line against the product's HSN code, and every warehouse records its state, which decides the CGST plus SGST or IGST split in the Tally feed. GST summary and TCS reports are built in. SteelERP does not generate e-way bills or e-invoices.
Does SteelERP work with Tally?
Yes, in two directions. Tally pulls every printed delivery challan and purchase challan through an authenticated API, in the same shape as the printed document, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook endpoint that you provide. Your accountant keeps working in Tally.
How much does SteelERP cost for a Mandi Gobindgarh trader?
The Starter plan is Rs 10,000/month for up to 10 users and 1 stockyard. Growth and Enterprise plans, for more users and yards, are priced on a custom quote. GST (18%) and a one-time setup charge apply separately.
