What Raipur's steel trade looks like
The district's own industrial profile names rolling mills, ferro alloys and steel casting as Raipur's main industries. The same profile, citing CSIDC, lists 418 units in production at Urla and 48 at the larger Siltara estate, where units list sponge iron, ingots, billets, MS channels, joists, angles, beams, TMT sariya and HB wire among their products. The larger producers in the district include Jindal Steel & Power at Mandir Hasaud and Godawari Power & Ispat, Sarda Energy & Minerals and Jayaswal Neco at Siltara. SAIL's Bhilai Steel Plant, which rolls rails, plates, structurals, rebars and wire rods, is in neighbouring Durg district, and 32 small Raipur units hold ancillary status with it.
In the city, stockists in the Loha Bazaar hold channels, angles, beams, RSJ poles, TMT, pipes, rounds, plates and sheets, bought from SAIL, JSPL and other mills as well as from local re-rollers. The cluster's output goes into building and construction, infrastructure, railways, municipal work and industry. Raipur Junction, on the Howrah–Nagpur–Mumbai line, is the busiest station in the South East Central Railway zone.
Whether you sell to builders in the city or to fabricators in Durg and Bilaspur, the work is the same: buy by the tonne from mills, sell by the kilo, piece or metre, and account for every kilo in between. This is how SteelERP handles it.
Ordered vs actual weight
Every line carries the weight ordered and the weight actually loaded. Challans and bills use the loaded figure, with tonnage conversions for coils, sheets, pipes and structurals such as channels and joists.
One order, several lorries
Split an order into delivery sub-orders by unit type — TMT by kg, pipes by metre, angles by piece — each with its own loading, challan, lorry number and delivery status.
Partial mill shipments
Raise one purchase order on a mill or re-roller and receive it through several purchase advices as trucks arrive, each booked into the yard that received it. An optional security truck-in step logs arrival before unloading.
Godown and outer yard
Stock held per warehouse, with transfers between them and staff limited to the yards they work in. A coil ledger tracks individual coils; a low-stock report shows what to reorder.
GST, TCS & Tally
CGST/SGST or IGST computed on the order line against HSN codes, plus TCS reports. Tally pulls every printed delivery and purchase challan through an authenticated API, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook endpoint you provide.
50+ reports
Sales trend, top products and customers, purchase trend and top suppliers, GST summary, supervisor loading workload, and challans raised but not printed the same day. Dashboard export to Excel and PDF.
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 Raipur — FAQs
Can SteelERP bill structurals and TMT bought from Urla and Siltara mills by actual weight?
Yes. Every order line holds the ordered weight and the actual loaded weight, and challans and bills use the loaded figure. Tonnage conversions cover coils, sheets, pipes and structurals such as channels, angles and joists.
How does SteelERP handle a mixed lorry load leaving a Raipur godown?
Split the order into delivery sub-orders by unit type: kg for TMT, metre for pipes, piece for angles or beams. Each sub-order has its own loading, challan, lorry number and delivery status, so one order can go out on several lorries.
Does SteelERP work with Tally for a Raipur 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 Raipur 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.
