Introduction
Mild steel (MS) fittings form the backbone of many piping systems. They join, redirect, and seal pipelines. Businesses need up‑to‑date pricing to manage costs.
Why Price Lists Matter
When you run a project, you must forecast material cost accurately. A wrong estimate can eat into profit margins. Hence, MS fittings price lists help fabricators, contractors, and buyers make smart decisions. Moreover, comparing quotes becomes easier when you have benchmark pricing.
Common Types of MS Fittings & Their Price Ranges
Here are the common categories of MS fittings and approximate price ranges seen in India (as of 2025):
| Fitting Type | Price Range (₹) | Notes / Source |
|---|---|---|

| MS Tee | ₹ 120 – ₹ 200 | Rajdhan Metal Rajdhan Metal |
| MS Union | ₹ 180 – ₹ 250 | Rajdhan Metal Rajdhan Metal |

Price Trends & Market Drivers
The MS fitting cost depends on multiple factors:
Raw steel prices: If steel scrap or billet prices rise, fitting costs go up.
Labor & energy costs: Forging is energy‑intensive; higher power bills push costs upward.
Order volume / scale: Bulk orders often get significant discounts.
Surface treatment / finishing: Galvanizing or painting adds to cost.
Transportation & logistics: Heavy fittings cost more to ship especially over long distances.
Duty, taxes, and import/export policies: These shift margins in domestic vs. international supply.
Suggested Charts (from Napkin AI / Fortis Forge)
Chart A: Price Trend Over Time
X axis: months (e.g. Jan 2024 to Dec 2025)
Y axis: average ₹ per unit (say average of elbows, tees, reducers)
This shows seasonality or upward/downward trend.
Chart B: Cost Breakdown Percentage
A pie chart or stacked bar that shows what fraction of final fitting cost comes from raw steel, labor, logistics, finishing, and margins.
This helps readers see which part of cost structure is biggest.
Tips for Buyers to Use Price Lists Wisely
To make the best use of MS fittings price lists:
Request itemised quotes — you want a breakdown.
Compare quotes per kg or per inch instead of per piece.
Ask about treatment & finishing, which often hides extra cost.
Use benchmark price lists and charts (like from Napkin AI) when negotiating.
Consider total cost, including delivery, handling, and GST.
Lock in prices via contracts if raw steel is volatile
Example Scenario
Let’s imagine you order 1,000 units of 2″ MS elbows (buttweld). Based on recent data:
The running rate for 2″ elbows = ~₹ 69
Suppose Fortis Forge adds finishing/logistics = +20%
Thus, your quote per piece = ₹ 69 × 1.20 = ₹ 82.8
Limitations and Caveats
Prices fluctuate daily; never treat a list as fixed.
Small orders might attract higher per‑unit costs.
Regional variations (transport, taxes) matter.
The quoted list may omit hidden charges (packing, handling)
