Hyderabad, Dec 7: Hyderabad-based Radha Smelters has launched a new product range of 550D LRF (Ladle Refining Furnace) TMT (Thermo Mechanically Treated) Bars, produced through LRF Route, here on Monday night.
The new product was launched by Actor and brand Ambassador of the company, Rana Daggubati in the presence of Telangana Home Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali and Radha Smelters Director Akshat Saraf at a function held at HICC here.
It is the first of its kind of a product produced by any steel company in South India.

infrastructure projects and high-rise buildings.
