What Nagpur's steel trade looks like
Butibori, about 27 km south of the city, and Hingna are the two re-rolling clusters; the state pollution board's own list of steel units there names Sanvijay Rolling and Engineering, Shardashree Ispat and Hindustan Udyog among them, and the district profile adds FACOR on Hingna Road, Sharda Ispat, Jaiswals Neco at Butibori and re-rollers at Kamptee and Umred. Further out, Sunflag Iron & Steel at Bhandara, 70 km away, makes half a million tonnes a year of alloy, spring and bearing steel in bars, JSW's Kalmeshwar works makes galvanised and Galvalume coated steel, and Lloyds Metals at Ghugus in Chandrapur district produced over 270,000 tonnes of sponge iron in FY24.
Who buys it is unusual. Most re-rollers in Butibori sell to transmission tower makers — KEC, Kalpataru and Jyoti Structures — and KEC's own tower plants include Nagpur; the pollution board's Butibori list carries KEC, a tower testing facility and other transmission and distribution works. Mahindra & Mahindra is on Hingna Road, Bajaj Steel Industries builds textile machinery, and the ordnance factory, Western Coalfields and the railways buy locally too. The MIDC areas themselves are large: Hingna and Butibori together run to thousands of hectares with well over a thousand units in production.
The city calls itself the country's crossroads and the freight map agrees: the zero milestone, trunk rail routes in every direction, MIHAN with its SEZ and rail terminal land, CONCOR's container depot at Ajni, and a multimodal logistics park awarded at Sindi in Wardha district in March 2026. For a trader that means long hauls in and short hauls out, with a lot of part loads to keep straight.
Ordered vs actual weight
Every line carries the weight ordered and the weight actually loaded, and the challan and bill use the loaded figure. Tonnage conversions cover angle, channel, beam, flat, round, plate and coated sheet.
Sizes carry their own weight
The product, size and HSN catalogue holds each section and bar size with its unit weight, so a line booked in pieces or metres converts to tonnes on the challan without a side calculation.
One order, several lorries
Split an order into delivery sub-orders by unit type, so a tower fabricator at Butibori and a workshop at Hingna can be served from the same order, each with its own challan and lorry number.
Part shipments from the mill
Raise one purchase order and receive it through several purchase advices as trucks arrive, each booked into the yard that took it in. An optional security truck-in step logs arrival before unloading.
GST, TCS & Tally
CGST/SGST or IGST computed on the order line from the HSN code — Maharashtra is GST state code 27 — plus TCS reports. Tally pulls printed challans through an authenticated API, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook you provide.
50+ reports
Sales and purchase trends, top products, customers and suppliers, GST summary, supervisor loading workload, and challans raised but not printed the same day. Excel and PDF export.
What to know before you switch
SteelERP runs the operations side — inquiries, orders, dispatch, stock, purchase and reports — while Tally stays your book of accounts. Yard and dispatch staff can use the interface in Hindi or English, and customer, catalogue and size lists come in from your existing spreadsheets.
Each customer carries a credit period in days, which prints as payment terms on inquiry PDFs and order emails. Credit-limit checks and outstanding-balance tracking are Upcoming, as is live GPS tracking of lorries; today you record the lorry number on each delivery sub-order.
Your data sits in its own database on AWS in Mumbai. The optional AI Planning Advisor runs on Anthropic's Claude under your own API key; the business summaries it sends to Anthropic include real customer names and are not anonymised.

Steel ERP in Nagpur — FAQs
Can SteelERP bill angles and channels sold to a tower fabricator by weight?
Yes. Each size carries its unit weight in the catalogue, so a line booked in pieces or lengths converts to tonnes, and the challan and bill use the weight actually loaded rather than the weight ordered.
Can one order be split across Butibori and Hingna deliveries?
Yes. Delivery sub-orders each carry their own loading, challan, lorry number and delivery status, so one order can go out on several lorries to different estates without raising a second order.
Does SteelERP work with Tally for a Nagpur trading firm?
Yes, in two directions. Tally pulls every printed delivery and purchase challan from SteelERP through an authenticated API, in the shape of the printed document, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook endpoint you provide. Your accounts stay in Tally.
How much does steel ERP software cost for a Nagpur stockist?
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.
