Tool and Die Steel Along the NH8 Industrial Corridor
Serving manufacturers along NH48 (formerly NH8) from Gurugram through Manesar, Bawal, and Neemrana — with certified, ready-stock tool and die steel and technical support before you place the order.
NH48 is one of India’s busiest industrial arteries, linking Delhi to Mumbai through the Gurugram-Manesar-Bawal-Neemrana belt and on to Jaipur and Ahmedabad. This corridor concentrates automotive, auto-component, aerospace, and precision engineering manufacturing — industries where a die or mould failure means a stopped production line, not just a delayed order.
Virat Special Steels supplies tool and die steel to manufacturers along this corridor from stockyards in Gurgaon (Haryana) and Ludhiana (Punjab). Rather than just filling grade orders, our technical sales team is available for a short call before you place an order — matching grade, hardness, and heat treatment to your specific application can be the difference between a die that lasts and one that fails within months.

Quality Testing & Certification
Every batch is checked before dispatch with chemical analysis, spectrometric testing, ultrasonic testing for internal defects, and hardness testing on the Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers scales. Mill Test Certificates are supplied as standard, and EN 10204 3.1 certification is available on applicable grades on request — relevant for automotive and aerospace suppliers along the corridor who need documented traceability. Independent third-party inspection can also be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tool steel grades suit die-casting and forging along the NH8 corridor? H11 and H13 hot work steel are the standard choice for aluminium die casting and hot forging dies, since they hold hardness at elevated working temperatures. Both are stocked ex-stock.
What is DB6 (DIN 1.2714) tool steel used for? DB6 is widely used for forging dies, hammer dies, aluminium extrusion tooling, and pressure die-casting dies where high toughness at working hardness is required.
Do you provide EN 10204 3.1 certificates? Yes, on applicable grades on request — relevant for automotive and aerospace suppliers along the corridor who require documented material traceability.
Is ultrasonic testing available on the steel you supply? Yes. Ultrasonic testing is performed to detect internal defects and confirm material integrity before dispatch.
Do you offer custom-cut sizes to a customer’s drawing? Yes. Material can be supplied in custom-cut sizes according to customer drawings and production requirements, in addition to standard bar sizes.
Can your technical team help select the right grade for a new die? Yes — our technical sales team can advise on grade, hardness, and heat treatment before you place an order. It’s worth a short call before ordering, since the wrong grade choice is a common cause of early die failure.
Do you deliver outside Gurugram to other points along the corridor? Yes. We regularly supply manufacturers in Manesar, Bawal, Neemrana, and Bhiwadi from our Gurgaon stockyard.
