Heritage · Since 1967
From a 1967 rolling mill to India's largest single-piece heavy casting.
Four working generations in iron and steel. One 55-acre campus that melts, casts, heat-treats, machines and tests under a single name — for the steel, cement and machine-tool plants that can't afford a casting to fail.
The arc, in six moves
Half a century, told in heats.
1967
Raj & Company
The first generation enters iron and steel trading. The foundation of everything that follows.
1973
Royal Steel Rolling Mills
The group moves from trading into manufacturing. The first rolling mill is commissioned.
1999
Bhawani Industries
The heavy-engineering foundry is born. The mission: cast in India what India was importing.
2016–18
Royal Alloy, Con-Cast, Steel
The group's metallurgical depth expands. Vertical integration becomes a structural advantage.
2023
120-MT milestone
Bhawani casts India's first single-piece 120-MT mill housing, under Naman Sood's technical leadership.
2026
Onward
1,00,000 MT of heavy casting delivered. 100+ steel plants, OEMs and cement plants on the ledger.
Why this foundry exists
The casting India kept importing.
In the late 1990s, every Indian integrated steel plant ordering a heavy mill housing, a slag pot or a kiln tyre above 60 tons placed that order with a foreign foundry. Lead times ran six to nine months. Freight was a third of the casting cost. When something failed, the silence on the other end of the email chain was its own kind of expense.
Bhawani was built to fix one specific thing: the assumption that India couldn't pour the biggest castings itself. Twenty-five years later, the 120-ton single-piece mill housing that came out of our gates settled the argument.
The people Bhawani's customers actually talk to
Leadership.
Jatin Sood
Wholetime Director
Flag bearer of the 4th gen, Operational head responsible for plant execution, supply-chain integrity, and the day-to-day metallurgy of the integrated 55-acre site.
Naman Sood
Business head · 4th generation
Technical custodian of heavy engineering casting. Led the casting of India's first 120-ton single-piece mill housing. The voice on the line when a customer's casting needs a decision.
Why the fourth generation matters
A family that has poured metal for half a century
does not treat a casting as a transaction. The Sood family is on its fourth working generation in iron and steel — not a slogan, an operational truth. Decisions about steel grade, heat treatment, which orders to accept and which to decline, are made by people whose name is on the gate.
When a customer raises an issue about a casting they bought six years ago, the person they reach is the person whose family put it on the truck. That accountability shows up in the metallurgy.
Decisions protected against quarterly noise
A reputation that compounds over decades, not deals
Technical depth that isn't outsourced to a consultant
Continuity of contact across the casting's 10-year life
You're not betting on one foundry
Bhawani is one entity in a 56-year, ten-company group.
Bhawani draws on the metallurgical depth, melting capacity and operational discipline of the wider Royal Group, which produces roughly 1,800 MT of steel a day. The heavy casting yard is the consolidated heavy-section output of all of it.
