MS (Mild Steel) billets are semi-finished, continuously cast steel blocks with a square or rectangular cross-section. They are the primary raw material used to manufacture finished steel products like TMT bars, wire rods, structural sections and pipes.
Billets are produced by pouring liquid steel from an induction or electric arc furnace through a continuous casting machine – which solidifies the steel into a long strand that is then cut to required lengths. The continuous casting process produces a refined, uniform grain structure that gives the downstream rolled product its strength and consistency.

Apple Industries Limited produces MS billets through the integrated induction furnace route – one of the cleanest, most controlled methods of producing semi-finished steel.
Two induction furnaces operate in parallel, charged with a calibrated mix of:
The liquid steel is poured through a continuous caster, producing billets with a uniform, refined grain structure – the structural foundation that gives downstream TMT bars their tensile and yield strength.
Apple Industries Limited MS billets are used as primary input for:
Captive consumption in our own rolling mill – producing TMT bars in Fe 500 / Fe 500D / Fe 550D grades
External re-rolling mills and TMT manufacturers – we are open to discussing supply with verified industrial buyers
Yes. Apple Industries Limited holds an active BIS licence (CM/L-6600074814) for MS Billets under IS 2830:2012 – the Indian Standard for cast billets, blooms and slabs used for rolling. The licence is valid and verifiable through BIS.
The minimum order quantity is 25 tonnes. Standard lead time from order confirmation to dispatch is 24 hours. Transport arrangements can be coordinated based on the customer’s preference – factory ex-works pickup, or delivered to the customer’s facility.
Yes. Apple Industries produces billets in square cross-section with rounded corners. Specific size, length and dimensional tolerance can be discussed based on your downstream rolling requirement. Contact our sales team for a technical discussion.
