Everything procurement teams, brand buyers, engineers and international sourcing teams ask before placing their first order with a manufacturer that's been running since 1974 — material grade, MOQ, lead times, OEM process, export documentation and facility visits.
Every induction base plate we manufacture uses SS 430 ferritic stainless steel — the only grade that combines the magnetic permeability required for induction heating with the formability needed for precision deep-draw stamping. We do not use SS 201, mild steel, or any substitute material. Each production batch is traceable to mill certificates that document the chemical composition, so you receive exactly what you specified.
Yes. On request, we provide mill certificates (MTRs) confirming the chemical and mechanical properties of the SS 430 coil used in your specific production run. Batch-level traceability is maintained throughout our process, giving international buyers full material verification for customs clearance, compliance audits, and incoming quality inspection.
Induction cooktops generate heat by inducing current in ferromagnetic materials — those that respond to a magnetic field. SS 304 (austenitic stainless steel) is non-magnetic and therefore induction-incompatible. SS 430 (ferritic stainless steel) is magnetic, making it the global industry standard for induction base plates. When bonded to an aluminium cookware body, the SS 430 plate enables full induction compatibility while the aluminium delivers rapid, even heat distribution. See our full material specification for the complete grade comparison.
Our SS 430 induction base plates meet the material standards applicable to cookware components in our key export markets. We are aligned with BIS standards for the Indian market, and can provide supporting documentation for buyers operating under EU food contact regulations (including LFGB / EN 1.4016 equivalents) or applicable frameworks in other jurisdictions. Specific compliance documentation is confirmed and packaged at the qualification stage.
We export to the European Union, Turkey, Vietnam, the UAE, and other international markets. For cross-border buyers, we provide full documentation: Certificate of Origin, commercial invoices, packing lists, and correct HS code classification. We accommodate buyer-nominated freight forwarders and align with your import compliance requirements from the outset. Full detail in our OEM & export guide.
An induction base plate is a disc of ferromagnetic metal — SS 430 stainless steel in our case — bonded to the underside of an aluminium or non-stick cookware body. Induction hobs generate heat by inducing eddy currents directly inside ferromagnetic metal placed on the cooking surface. Aluminium and copper alone are non-magnetic and won't heat on induction, so the SS 430 base plate is what actually makes an aluminium pan induction-compatible, while the aluminium body still handles fast, even heat spread.
A regular (non-induction) cookware base is typically plain aluminium, copper, or a lighter-gauge stainless steel with no specific magnetic requirement, since it only needs to work on gas or electric coil hobs. An induction base plate must be ferromagnetic (SS 430, not SS 304), dimensionally precise for even contact across the hob's sensor coil, and mechanically bonded or clad to the cookware body so it survives repeated thermal cycling without delamination.
Production starts with SS 430 coil, which is cut and blanked to the required diameter. The blank is then embossed or stamped with the pattern, perforation, or brand marking specified by the buyer. Where a curved or cavity profile is needed, the part goes through deep-draw forming under a power press. Finished plates are quality-checked for dimensional accuracy before being shipped to the cookware assembler, who bonds the plate to the aluminium or non-stick body.
We manufacture to the buyer's drawing rather than a fixed catalogue, so thickness and diameter are set by your cookware format and induction hob compatibility requirements. As a reference point, the induction plate patterns we've produced span roughly 100mm to 190mm in diameter; exact thickness is confirmed against your specification, sample, or engineering drawing.
Our MOQ is fully flexible — structured around product geometry, specification complexity, and your production timeline rather than a fixed number. We work with buyers across the full order spectrum, from initial qualification samples and first-article runs through to large-volume recurring supply programmes. Share your requirements and we will build an arrangement that fits your procurement model.
Lead times are confirmed at order placement following design approval and specification sign-off. With manufacturing facilities in both Mumbai and Gujarat, we maintain disciplined production schedules and a consistent track record of on-time delivery. Timelines vary by order volume and customisation complexity — contact us with your specifications for a project-specific commitment.
We operate dual manufacturing facilities — Mumbai and Gujarat — which together give us the combined capacity to fulfil large-volume orders, run parallel production programmes, and absorb demand surges during peak cookware seasons (September–March). Our dual-plant structure provides supply continuity: if one facility is at full utilisation, the other steps in without disrupting your delivery schedule.
Fully. We produce to any diameter, thickness, hole pattern, perforation geometry, and edge finish you require. Our in-house tooling team works from your engineering drawings, technical datasheets, or a physical sample. Logo embossing, brand-specific patterns, and non-standard geometries are all within our capability. We are a true OEM partner — not a catalogue supplier.
Yes on both counts. Qualification samples are a necessary step in any supply relationship — we provide first-article samples with dimensional inspection reports and material certificates. For white-label and private-label buyers: components are manufactured to your product specification. Your branding stays private. Our name does not appear on your product. Full detail in our OEM & private-label guide.
Yes. Jagruti Steels Pvt. Ltd. operates from Mumbai and is supported by an associated Gujarat manufacturing unit through Mammal Industries, a sister concern within the Jagruti group ecosystem. The Gujarat unit is located in Sarigam, Gujarat, and strengthens our network with expanded production capacity — supporting larger OEM requirements, repeat production cycles, and white-label supply.
Jagruti Steels Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 1974 — over 50 years of uninterrupted manufacturing in Mumbai. We welcome facility visits from qualified buyers and procurement teams. Both our Mumbai and Gujarat plants are available for inspection, including process walkthroughs, tooling reviews, and material traceability demonstrations. Contact us to schedule a visit.
Use the contact form on our homepage, email info.jagrutisteels@gmail.com, call +91 98679 61395, or message us on WhatsApp. Share a drawing, a physical sample, or even just written dimensions — we work from whatever you have and confirm feasibility, tooling timeline, and indicative lead time before you commit to a sample run.
Yes. Private-label and white-label manufacturing is a core part of our OEM business. Components are produced strictly to your specification and your branding — our name does not appear on the finished product. See our OEM, Private-Label & Export guide for the full scope of what we support.
While cookware components are our core focus, our presses, dies and in-house tooling also produce stainless steel and mild steel parts for railway components and general engineering assemblies. If you have a stamped, drawn, or embossed metal component outside cookware, share the drawing and we will confirm feasibility.
We've been stamping stainless steel since 1974 — and we'd rather show you than tell you. Qualified procurement teams are welcome at both our Mumbai and Gujarat facilities: process walkthrough, tooling inspection, material traceability review. Come and see it running.
