Question 1

Why is SS 430 used for induction base plates instead of SS 304?

Accepted Answer

Induction cooktops heat by inducing eddy currents in ferromagnetic material. SS 304 is austenitic and effectively non-magnetic, so it will not heat on an induction hob. SS 430 is ferritic, with the magnetic permeability required for induction plus the corrosion resistance and deep-draw formability needed for stamped cookware bases — which is why it is the global standard for induction discs bonded to aluminium bodies.

Question 2

Can you manufacture induction plates and vessels to our own drawing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All tooling and dies are designed and cut in-house from your engineering drawing, technical datasheet or a physical sample. Diameter, gauge, centre hole, perforation layout, edge profile and logo embossing are all buyer-defined. We are a build-to-print OEM supplier, not a fixed catalogue vendor.

Question 3

Do you provide mill test certificates and material traceability?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mill test reports (MTRs) confirming the chemical and mechanical properties of the SS 430 or SS 304 coil used in your production run are supplied on request, with batch-level traceability for customs clearance, compliance audits and incoming quality inspection.

Question 4

Which export markets do you supply and what documentation is included?

Accepted Answer

We supply buyers in the European Union, Turkey, Vietnam, the UAE and North America alongside India's major cookware clusters. Shipments include Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice, packing list and correct HS classification (7220 9090 for circle-cut blanks, 7326 9099 for finished stamped components). JNPT Port, Mumbai is 35 km from our plant, and buyer-nominated freight forwarders are accepted.

Question 5

What is your minimum order quantity and lead time?

Accepted Answer

MOQ is structured around geometry, tooling status and your production timeline rather than a fixed figure — first-article qualification runs through to recurring monthly programmes are both supported. Lead times are confirmed after drawing approval; dual plants in Mumbai and Sarigam, Gujarat allow parallel scheduling during the September–March peak cookware season.

Question 6

Do you offer white-label manufacturing without your branding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Components are produced strictly to the buyer's product specification, your tooling is used exclusively for your programme, and our name does not appear on your finished product or packaging. We do not sell finished cookware under our own brand, so we never compete with our customers.
