About

I’m Mukesh Sekar, a CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented) materials consultant and proprietor of S M Steels, Chennai. I specialize in sourcing, trading, and consulting on electrical transformer core materials including CRGO prime coils, secondary lamination sheets, oily sheets, and scrap.


With hands-on experience in the Indian transformer and steel market, I work closely with manufacturers, traders, and bulk buyers across the country to help them procure the right grade and quality of CRGO materials at competitive prices. My role goes beyond just supplying — I assist clients in understanding material specifications, core loss values, grading, and practical applications in transformer manufacturing.


Through these blogs, I aim to simplify complex CRGO concepts, share real market insights, and help buyers make informed decisions in an often unstructured industry.


I’m actively building a reliable supply and consulting network for CRGO materials across India and exploring global opportunities in this sector.

As of May 2026, the domestic production gap will not close meaningfully until FY2028 at the earliest. Every transformer built in India until then depends on a supply chain that is structurally fragile. Table of Contents 1. The Scale of the...

CRGO Full Form, Meaning & Why It Matters for Transformers in India
Quick Answer: What Is the Full Form of CRGO? CRGO stands for Cold Rolled Grain Oriented. Full form broken down: C — Cold Rolled (manufacturing process) R — Rolled (the physical action applied to the steel) G — Grain Oriented (the crystalline structure deliberately aligned) O — (part of "Oriented") CRGO is a specialised type of electrical steel — a silicon-iron alloy — engineered so that its internal grain structure is precisely aligned in one direction. This alignment is not accidental. It is...

What a Trader Sees That a Manufacturer Doesn't — Inside India's CRGO Price Cycle
There is a meeting that happens in every transformer manufacturing facility, usually once a quarter. The procurement head walks in with a price comparison sheet. Import landed cost versus domestic options versus secondary market. The CFO asks why CRGO core material is more expensive than last quarter. The procurement head explains there was a price movement. The CFO asks when it will come down. Nobody in that room has a satisfying answer. That meeting happens because manufacturers see CRGO...
