How to Identify Genuine TMT Steel Bars in Nepal and Avoid Fake Steel

Step 1: Inspect the branding pattern. Genuine manufacturers emboss their brand names clearly at regular intervals. Verify that the "LAXMI" stamp is raised uniformly and is not a stamped afterthought.

Step 2: Examine the physical ribs. TMT rebars have high-angle cross ribs and longitudinal ribs to interlock with the mortar. If the ribs are shallow or uneven, concrete adhesion is significantly compromised.

Step 3: Test the bendability. Authentic steel rebars bend easily on-site without developing cracks on the outer tension surface. If a bar snaps or displays micro-surface tearing during standard bending, reject the batch immediately.
