Made-in-India Alternative to Dillimax/Strenx – HIND Q&T Plates

Table of Contents

Why Indian OEMs Are Looking Beyond Dillimax & Strenx

For years, European steel brands like Dillimax (from Dillinger) and Strenx (from SSAB) have been the go-to names for high-strength quenched and tempered plates.

But times have changed.

With rising import costs, logistics delays, and supply unpredictability, many Indian OEMs in mining, defense, trailers, and construction are asking:

Is there a reliable Indian alternative to Dillimax or Strenx — without compromising on strength, weldability, or performance?

The answer: Yes — HIND Q&T Plates.

Why Global Brands Like Dillimax and Strenx Became Popular?

Global Brand What They Offer What’s the Catch?
Dillimax Toughened plates with low CEV, great impact resistance High cost, limited availability in India
Strenx Excellent bendability, consistency, and formability Delayed lead time, strict MOQ, currency impact

But for Indian manufacturers who:

  • Need faster delivery
  • Want Indian rupee billing
  • Require flexibility in size, MOQ, and CNC profiling

HIND Q&T Plates offer a practical, price-competitive, and performance-matched alternative.

HIND Q&T vs Dillimax / Strenx – Performance Comparison

Made-in-India, Globally Equivalent

Feature HIND Q&T 690 Dillimax 690T Strenx 700
Yield Strength 690 MPa 690 MPa 700 MPa
Impact Resistance (-40°C) Yes Yes Yes
Weldability (Low CEV) Yes Yes Yes
EN 10025-6 Equivalent
Bending / Cutting Support
Delivery Time (India) 3–5 Days 30+ Days 20–45 Days
MOQ Flexible MOQ 5–10 MT MOQ 10 MT
Price (per kg, India) ₹₹ (local) ₹₹₹₹ (imported) ₹₹₹₹ (imported)

Verdict: HIND Q&T plates meet the same engineering standards without the heavy import burden.
