Breakthrough in Structural Steel: India’s First 1000×1000×40 mm Box Section
APL Apollo is redefining India’s construction landscape through its integrated and future-ready steel ecosystem. As India’s largest structural steel tube manufacturer, the company is not merely supplying steel products it is transforming the way modern India builds.
In a major milestone for India’s enginee-ring and infrastructure sector, APL Apollo has successfully manufactured India’s first 1000×1000×40 mm box section along with advanced 500×500×20 mm structural tubes at its Raipur facility. These ground-breaking developments mark a significant leap in India’s structural steel manufacturing capabilities and open new possibilities for large-span structures, high-rise buildings, industrial infrastructure, bridges, metro projects, and other heavy-load applications.
The introduction of these next-generation hollow sections is set to redefine the Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) segment in India by offering superior strength, enhanced durability, greater design flexibility, and faster project execution. These innovative steel solutions empower architects, engineers, builders, and industries with world-class products designed to meet the evolving demands of modern infrastructure and sustainable construction.
Compared to conventional RCC structures, APL Apollo’s advanced tubular steel systems offer a 2.5–3 times higher strength-to-weight ratio along with nearly 60% lower carbon emissions. These pre-engineered steel solutions enable rapid assembly, faster construction, and significantly reduced load on foundations, making them ideal for dense urban infrastructure and multi-storey developments. Additionally, the off-site fabrication and efficient installation process help minimize on-site construction activities, thereby reducing dust, noise, material wastage, and overall construction pollution.
Driven by continuous innovation, advanced manufacturing technology, and unmatched production scale, APL Apollo is shaping the future of India’s construction industry delivering structures that are stronger, smarter, faster, and more sustainable.
Coated Steel Solutions: Building the Future of Modern Roofing
APL Apollo is transforming India’s construction ecosystem through its advanced coated steel product portfolio and integrated structural solutions. The company views roofing and coated steel products not merely as individual components, but as critical elements of a high-performance and sustainable construction system. Its portfolio includes premium pre-painted Alu-Zinc roofing solutions such as Coral, RoofTuff, Jumbo, LumeTuff, and Rakshak, engineered with advanced multi-layer coatings that provide superior corrosion resistance, weather protection, high thermal reflectivity, and structural strength up to 550 MPa. These products are specifically designed for industrial infrastructure, warehousing, transportation, coastal applications, and modern Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs).
Further strengthening its innovation leadership, APL Apollo has developed 16 patented products, including advanced structural solutions such as Chaukhat steel door frames. With the Government of India targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030, the demand for durable and lightweight solar structural systems is expected to grow significantly. APL Apollo also developed colour-coated structural systems, and specialised purlins for Solar structural applications. These innovative products are helping drive faster construction, improved durability, reduced maintenance, and enhanced structural efficiency across modern infrastructure projects.
APL Apollo is also actively supporting India’s renewable energy growth by offering high-strength steel solutions for solar structures and mounting systems. Through continuous innovation, integrated engineering, and sustainable steel solutions, APL Apollo is playing a vital role in shaping the future of infrastructure, energy, and modern construction in India.
Today, infrastructure decision-making is increasingly focused on lifecycle reliability, safety compliance, opera-tional efficiency, and risk mitigation rather than only initial project costs. Through continuous innovation and integrated steel solutions, APL Apollo is leading this transformation and shaping the future of modern roofing and infrastructure development in India.
