Fabricated and hot-dip galvanized steel structures, made and coated on one floor at Howrah, 22 km from Kolkata Port. This page sets out what we make, the standards we hold, the kettle that limits it — and the things we cannot do.
Two projects, stated exactly as they are: one shipped by us under our own Import Export Code, one supplied through a client. Those are the only two. We are actively accepting direct export orders, and we would rather you knew the size of our export record from us than from a due-diligence call.
Indo East fabricated steel structures supplied for a 50 MW solar power project in Togo (2020–21).
Fabricated structural steel exported directly by Indo East from our works via Kolkata Port for a project in the Maldives (January 2018).
For five decades we have manufactured to IS and ASTM specifications under third-party inspection for buyers including Ericsson, Siemens, ABB, Alstom T&D and L&T — the same standards international projects demand. IEC registered, triple-ISO certified, loading 22 km from Kolkata Port.
Six lines, all fabricated and galvanized on our own floor at Howrah. Each links to the page with the sections, standards and tolerances on it.
On line hardware and accessories — clamps, fittings, earthing material, fasteners — some items we make and some we buy in and galvanize. We will tell you which is which for your specific list at enquiry, rather than letting you assume everything on a bill of materials comes off our own floor.
Four numbers rather than four adjectives. Each one is a fact you can hold us to at inspection.
Our hot-dip galvanizing kettle is 7.0 m × 1.2 m × 1.6 m, running at 450 °C. That is the single number that decides whether your drawing works as drawn. Longer members are double-dipped, which is normal practice and leaves a visible overlap line — we would rather tell you that at enquiry than at inspection.
75–85 microns as standard, read on a calibrated DFT gauge and reported per batch. That is the 610 g/m² in IS 4759 and the 85 µm mean in EN ISO 1461. ASTM A123 on structural shapes over ¼ in asks for 100 µm — more zinc, and a different price. Say which one you need.
Jangalpur, Howrah to Kolkata Port (Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port) is about 22 km with direct NH-6 access from the works gate. Factory stuffing where the incoterm and the line allow it, so galvanized steel is handled once rather than twice.
18,000+ MT a year across fabrication and galvanizing, with robotic welding, CNC plasma cutting and drill lines on the floor. Fabrication and galvanizing are under one roof and one company, which is why an inspector visits once.
We do not have a closed list of markets. We have a works, a kettle and an Import Export Code, and we will quote wherever the enquiry comes from. What is worth knowing in advance is what actually differs between destinations, because it is almost never the steel.
| Destination | What typically changes | Who arranges it |
|---|---|---|
| East Africa Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia |
A pre-export conformity check — PVoC in Kenya and its equivalents in neighbouring markets. Inland destinations move through Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, so the last leg is a road haul, not a berth. | Arranged per shipment against your order, by the agency the destination names. We supply the mill certificates, galvanizing readings and drawings the inspection runs against. |
| West Africa Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Togo |
SONCAP for Nigeria, and comparable conformity programmes elsewhere on the coast. Longer sea leg than East Africa, so packing against white rust matters more. | Same — per shipment, once the order exists. Our packing page sets out how galvanized steel is bundled and ventilated for a long transit. |
| Gulf & Middle East UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain |
SABER in Saudi Arabia and the equivalent conformity route in the other GCC states. Buyers here more often specify ASTM rather than IS — which changes the coating, not just the paperwork. | Conformity per shipment. The standards question is settled at quotation — see standards equivalence. |
| South & Southeast Asia Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar |
Shortest sea leg from Kolkata, and Nepal and Bhutan move overland rather than by sea. Indian standards are usually already the reference, so there is less to translate. | Destination requirements vary; we confirm them at enquiry rather than assuming. Our one direct export — the Maldives, 2018 — was on this route. |
Two things we deliberately do not put on this page. We do not publish transit times, because they are set by the service, the transhipment hub and the season rather than by us — the line’s schedule at the time of booking is the only figure worth relying on, and we will get it for you. And we do not claim to hold PVoC, SONCAP or SABER: those are per-shipment conformity schemes, not certifications a factory holds in advance. Any supplier implying otherwise is describing something that does not work that way. See export documentation.
Of the four Indian exporters we audited, not one publishes packing plans, an inspection regime, a documentation set or a standards equivalence table. These five pages are that detail, written out — and the sixth card is where you send us yours.
Eight pages: the registrations you can verify before contacting us, what we make, the kettle and coating figures a drawing turns on, an IS / ASTM / EN equivalence table, the inspection and document set — and a page stating plainly what we cannot do. Carries the EEPC RCMC and the LEI.
A streamlined export process with clear milestones and full transparency. We aim to quote within 48 hours and ship within agreed lead times.
Use the export enquiry form — it asks for the five things that let us price properly. Reply to our acknowledgement with drawings attached.
A director replies within 48 business hours on the incoterm you named — with a price, or with the one question stopping us giving you one. If we are not the right supplier, we say so rather than go quiet.
Upon acceptance, we sign a formal purchase agreement. Advance payment terms agreed. Production schedule confirmed.
Production under our ISO 9001 system, galvanizing on our own kettle. Third-party inspection at the stages agreed beforehand. Coating readings recorded per batch.
Kolkata or Haldia, depending on the vessel and the service. Factory stuffing where the incoterm allows it. Full document set as listed on our documentation page.
International buyers increasingly turn to India for fabricated steel structures. Here's why India — and Indo East specifically — makes compelling sense for your project.
Competitive manufacturing economics supported by integrated fabrication and galvanizing operations — reducing handling, lead times, and third-party dependency across the production cycle.
We fabricate and galvanize to IS, ASTM and EN — IS 2062 steel, IS 4759 or ASTM A123 or EN ISO 1461 coating, IS 802 for towers, IS 2486 for line hardware. Every one of those has its own page on this site with the actual requirement printed on it, so you can check what we mean before you spend time asking. ISO 9001:2015 is the audited framework around it.
Our Jangalpur facility is just 22 km from Kolkata Port (Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Trust), with direct highway access from the works. Kolkata is served by lines to East Africa, the Gulf and South and Southeast Asia; the routing and the transhipment hub belong to the line you or we book, not to us, and we will get the schedule at enquiry. Haldia is the deep-draft alternate down the Hooghly where vessel size requires it.
Our management team is fluent in English and experienced in international business correspondence. No language barrier, no intermediary. Direct communication with the decision-makers who own the quality and delivery commitment.
Unlike large anonymous suppliers, Indo East is a third-generation family business where the Managing Director and Directors are personally involved in every significant order. Your commitment is their commitment — no delegation to junior sales staff.
Our 7-metre hot-dip galvanizing kettle and in-house testing lab (Bruker optical emission spectrometer, UTM, Rockwell hardness tester, galvanizing test equipment) mean complete quality control without outsourcing. Faster turnaround, consistent coating thickness, full traceability — critical for international orders.

Every supplier page tells you the first half. This one tells you both, because the second half is what you would find out anyway, and finding it out late is expensive for you and embarrassing for us.
Fifty years of manufacturing, and a short export record. Both are true at once. We would rather you knew that from us than from a due-diligence call — and a supplier who is straight about a short record is easier to believe on everything else on this page.
Harmonized System (HS) codes under which Indo East Corporation exports its main product categories — for buyer and customs reference.
| Product Category | HS Code | Customs Description |
|---|---|---|
| Telecom towers, transmission line & substation structures | 7308.20 | Towers and lattice masts, of iron or steel |
| Fabricated steel structures, parts & solar mounting structures | 7308.90 | Other structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel |
| Railway steel channel sleepers & track material | 7302.90 | Railway track construction material, of iron or steel |
| Insulators (power & transmission line) | 8546.90 | Electrical insulators, other than of glass or ceramics |
| Foundation bolts, nuts & fasteners | 7318.16 | Nuts, of iron or steel |
| Other fabricated / galvanized steel articles | 7326.90 | Other articles of iron or steel, n.e.s. |
These are the HS codes under which Indo East Corporation exports its products. The final tariff line may vary with the destination country’s customs schedule — your Customs House Agent (CHA) confirms the exact code at the time of shipment.
Answered the way we would answer them on a call, including the ones where the answer is no.
Once directly: fabricated structural steel to the Maldives in January 2018, from our own works through Kolkata Port under our own Import Export Code 0211004090. Indo East steel is also installed on a 50 MW solar project in Togo, West Africa, supplied through a client rather than shipped by us. Those are the only two, and we state that rather than implying a wider footprint. We are actively accepting direct export orders.
No. EN 1090 is a real certification with a real audit and we do not hold it. If your contract requires CE marking to EN 1090, tell us at enquiry and we will say honestly whether it is worth either of us continuing. What we do hold is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.
Our kettle is 7.0 m long by 1.2 m wide by 1.6 m deep, running at about 450 degrees Celsius. Anything longer than 7.0 m is double-dipped, which is standard practice but leaves a visible overlap line. If that is unacceptable on your job, say so before we quote.
75 to 85 microns as standard, read on a calibrated DFT gauge and reported per batch. That satisfies IS 4759 at 610 g per square metre and the 85 micron mean in EN ISO 1461. ASTM A123 for structural shapes over one quarter inch asks for 100 microns, which is meaningfully more zinc and a different price, so we confirm which standard applies at quotation.
No, and neither does anyone else. Those are per-shipment conformity schemes arranged against an order for the destination that requires them, with lead time. They are not certifications a factory holds in advance. Any supplier implying otherwise is describing something that does not work that way.
Yes, and we would encourage it. SGS, Bureau Veritas, TUV, DNV, Intertek or your own nominated inspector, at stages agreed before production starts. Because fabrication and galvanizing are both on our floor, an inspector covers both in one visit rather than travelling to a sub-contractor's plant as well.
We do not publish them. They are set by the shipping service, the transhipment hub and the season rather than by us, so any figure we printed would be wrong more often than right. The line's schedule at the time of booking is the only number worth relying on, and we will get it for you.
Tell us the one you want quoted and we will quote it. EXW Howrah, FOB Kolkata or Haldia, CFR and CIF are the usual ones. The incoterm decides what sits inside the price, which is why the enquiry form asks for it early rather than late.
About 22 km from Kolkata Port, the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, with direct NH-6 access from the works gate. Haldia is the deep-draft alternate further down the Hooghly, used where vessel size requires it.
Yes. Buyers and vendor-qualification audit teams are welcome at Jangalpur, Howrah, and for a first order of any size we would encourage a visit. Mention it in your enquiry and we will arrange it.
