Tool Steel Supplier for Rajkot's Casting & Engineering Cluster
Rajkot district is one of India's largest engineering manufacturing bases, with an estimated 14,000 MSMEs, including roughly 5,500 engineering units organised under bodies such as the Rajkot Engineering Association. The city is particularly known for its investment-casting foundry cluster — among the largest of its kind in the country — which grew historically around Rajkot's diesel-engine manufacturing industry and today produces pump, valve, automotive and general engineering castings at significant scale.
That casting-heavy industrial base has specific and recurring tooling needs: casting dies and patterns, die finishing tools, and press tools for downstream machining and assembly of pumps, valves and engine components. Purohit Steel supplies this cluster with verified, traceable tool and die steel from our ISO-certified warehouse in Vasai.
Why Rajkot Manufacturers Choose Purohit Steel
- Grade guidance for casting tooling: Support in choosing between H13, H11 and DB6 for die-casting dies and pattern tooling, and EN series grades for shafts, gears and pump/valve components.
- Authorized Stockist: Sourced through globally reputed manufacturers, including NLMK Verona and SeAH CSS, so Rajkot's foundries and machine shops get mill-traceable material.
- Value-Added Machining: In-house bandsaw cutting, precision machining, grinding, drilling, gun drilling, EDM and wire-cut, reducing the finishing work needed on delivery.
- Volume-friendly supply: Ready stock in round bar, flat bar and block form suited to the repeat, high-volume tooling needs of a dense foundry and engineering cluster.
- ISO-Certified Quality: Documented quality management since 1965, with mill test certificates (EN 10204 2.2 / 3.1) available on request.

Industries We Serve in Rajkot
- Investment-casting foundries: Serving one of India's largest investment-casting clusters, producing pump, valve and automotive castings.
- Pump & valve manufacturing: A long-standing specialisation of the Rajkot engineering base, needing precision tool steel for both casting dies and downstream machining.
- Diesel-engine component manufacturing: The industry that historically drove Rajkot's casting cluster and remains a core part of its engineering economy.
- Machine tool & general engineering units: The wider base of roughly 5,500 engineering units across the district relying on tool steel for press tools, jigs and fixtures.
Dispatch & Logistics from Vasai
Rajkot is roughly 700km from our Vasai warehouse, reached mainly by road along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad-Rajkot (NH48) corridor. We are upfront that this is not a same-day dispatch market like Mumbai itself — transit generally takes a couple of working days depending on the transporter, consignment size and route conditions, and we work with customers to plan around their production schedule.
- Road freight via NH48: The primary route for both full-truck-load and part-load consignments to Rajkot.
- Bulk foundry orders: Given the repeat, high-volume nature of Rajkot's casting industry, we recommend standing or scheduled orders to keep tooling stock aligned with production runs.
- Pre-dispatch machining: In-house bandsaw cutting, machining and EDM at Vasai reduces finishing work needed after material reaches Rajkot.
- Documentation: Mill test certificates (EN 10204 2.2 / 3.1) accompany dispatches for foundries requiring material traceability.
