The global market for customized cold rolled tubes and profiles is on a strong upward path, driven by demand from industries such as automotive, construction, renewable energy, and industrial machinery. As countries invest heavily in infrastructure and precision steel components, the metal forming market worldwide is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
India, however, is slightly ahead of the curve. The country’s structural steel fabrication sector is expected to expand at 7.8% CAGR, a sign that its demand is not just increasing in volume but also moving towards high-value, precision-engineered steel solutions. This shift positions India as a rising force in the global steel forming industry.
Leading this transformation is Mother India Forming, a Bengaluru-based company that has become synonymous with quality and innovation in cold roll forming.
“Industries today demand more than just raw steel,” says Santosh Venkatasubbaiah, Director of Sales & Marketing at Mother India Forming. “They’re looking for ready-to-assemble, precision-engineered components that enhance safety, cut costs, and reduce production timelines. India has both the expertise and the scale to deliver these value-added solutions globally.”
Mother India Forming operates as a fully integrated ecosystem for steel cold roll forming — covering every stage from design and simulation to machine manufacturing, tooling, welding, coating, and inspection. This end-to-end approach addresses key industry pain points like fragmented supply chains, inconsistent tolerances, and unpredictable delivery schedules.
“Companies want one trusted partner who can guarantee precision, quality, and speed — not ten vendors handling one component,” says Venkatasubbaiah. “That’s the trust we’re building for India on the global map.”
Global Reach, Local Precision
According to company information, Mother India Forming runs two advanced manufacturing plants in Bengaluru, equipped with 15 roll-forming machines, robotic laser cutters, CNC bending systems, robotic welding units, and a dedicated R&D centre.
A skilled team of 300 engineers, designers, and technicians ensures that every product meets global standards for scalability, precision, and quality.
The company’s client list includes some of the world’s most respected names — CNH, Toyota, Kone Elevators, MEVA, among others — with exports reaching Europe, the UK, North America, and Southeast Asia.
“Our customers don’t see us as just suppliers,” adds Venkatasubbaiah. “They see us as partners — collaborators who understand their technical and commercial needs. That’s why we continue to invest in infrastructure, automation, and people to deliver reliability and performance every time.”
Solving Industry-Specific Challenges
Each sector that uses cold rolled steel has its own challenges. In automotive and electric vehicles, manufacturers look for lightweight, cost-effective, high-precision components that improve fuel efficiency and safety. In rail and metro, the priority is fatigue-resistant coach frames that can withstand long-term vibration and stress.
For the renewable energy sector, particularly solar and wind, corrosion resistance and structural alignment are critical. Heavy machinery manufacturers seek robust, stress-resistant profiles, while textile and office furniture industries depend on consistently shaped tubular sections that avoid downtime and ensure design accuracy.
Mother India Forming meets these varied needs through high-frequency welded tubes, CNC bending, robotic welding, automated inspection, and digital traceability. The company’s processes ensure each product is compliant with international standards for quality and performance, while maintaining high efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
India’s Shift Toward Value-Added Steel
This evolution reflects a larger national vision. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly emphasised the need for India to move beyond exporting raw steel toward creating and exporting value-added finished products.
By delivering precision-engineered steel solutions, India is not only catering to domestic demand but also reshaping its global image — from a bulk steel supplier to a trusted provider of advanced steel components.
Mother India Forming embodies this shift. Its focus on innovation, technology, and precision has helped redefine India’s steel narrative. Instead of competing on price and volume, companies like Mother India Forming are now competing on design, reliability, and technical excellence.
Every tonne of steel they export represents not just raw material, but a finished, high-value component designed and engineered in India — a clear sign of the country’s move up the global manufacturing value chain.
From Supplier to Global Leader
“The world’s industries are evolving fast,” says Venkatasubbaiah. “Every tube and every profile we produce is crafted to perform exactly as intended. India is no longer just a steel supplier; it’s shaping the future of steel forming.”
As global demand continues to accelerate, companies are seeking partners that can deliver precision, scalability, and sustainability. India’s growing base of skilled engineers, coupled with state-of-the-art infrastructure and government support for manufacturing, makes it an increasingly attractive destination for high-end steel fabrication.
