Rungta Fe 500D TMT Bars — Price & Dealer, Delhi NCR
Fe 500D is the ductile-grade Rungta Steel TMT bar — mandatory for seismic zone construction and the default specification for serious structural engineers across Delhi NCR. Premier Steels stocks Rungta Fe 500D in 8 mm to 32 mm, supplied from our Ghaziabad yard with a mill test certificate on every consignment.
What is Fe 500D?
Fe 500D is a High Strength Deformed (HSD) TMT reinforcement bar defined under IS 1786:2008. The grade designation breaks down as: Fe = iron/steel, 500 = minimum 0.2% proof stress (yield strength) of 500 N/mm², D = Ductile — indicating enhanced elongation and a controlled UTS-to-yield ratio.
Compared with plain Fe 500, the 'D' suffix adds a harder set of mechanical requirements. Elongation must be at least 16% (vs 12% for Fe 500), and the ratio of Ultimate Tensile Strength to yield strength must be at least 1.10 (vs 1.08). These properties give Fe 500D more energy-absorption capacity before fracture — exactly what is needed when a structure is subjected to earthquake loading.
IS 13920:2016 (Ductile Design and Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures) requires Fe 500D or equivalent for buildings in seismic zones. Delhi and the wider NCR region are classified in seismic zone IV — making Fe 500D effectively the minimum acceptable grade for most structural applications in this geography.
IS 1786:2008 Mechanical Properties — Fe 500D
These are the minimum requirements per IS 1786:2008. Rungta Steel mill test certificates document actual tested values for every heat supplied.
| Property | Minimum Value |
|---|---|
| 0.2% Proof Stress / Yield Strength | ≥ 500 N/mm² |
| Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) | ≥ 565 N/mm² (UTS/YS ≥ 1.10) |
| Elongation at fracture | ≥ 16% |
| Total Elongation at max force (Agt) | ≥ 5% |
| Bend test | No fracture — as per IS 1786 Table 4 |
| Standard | IS 1786:2008 |
Source: IS 1786:2008 Table 2 & Table 3. All values are minima — actual tested values on mill certificates will typically exceed these.
Best Applications for Fe 500D
Seismic Zone Construction
Delhi NCR is seismic zone IV. IS 13920 mandates ductile-grade reinforcement in moment-resisting frames and shear walls. Fe 500D is the engineer's default specification here.
High-Rise Residential & Commercial
Buildings above G+4 floors require structural engineers who almost universally specify Fe 500D in RCC members for its combination of strength and ductility.
Bridges & Flyovers
Dynamic and cyclic loading on bridge decks, piers, and abutments demands higher elongation. Fe 500D's 16% elongation gives the extra reserve needed under traffic loads.
Metro & Infrastructure
Public infrastructure projects governed by CPWD, NHAI, or RRTS specifications routinely call for Fe 500D as the minimum grade in structural RCC.
Basement & Retaining Structures
Lateral earth pressure, hydrostatic loads, and settlement can impose unexpected deformations. Fe 500D's ductility margin reduces the risk of brittle failure in these zones.
General Residential — Premium Spec
Many builders and individual home-builders in NCR upgrade to Fe 500D over Fe 500 for peace of mind. The cost premium over Fe 500 is small compared to the structural assurance.
Available Sizes & Bar Weight Reference
Standard weight calculated as D² ÷ 162 kg/m per IS 1786:2008. Use this to estimate material requirements for your project.
| Diameter (mm) | Weight (kg/m) | Weight (kg/12 m bar) |

Why Buy Fe 500D from an Authorized Rungta Distributor
Fe 500D's value is entirely in its verified mechanical properties — specifically the elongation and UTS/YS ratio that justify specifying it over Fe 500. If the bar you buy does not meet IS 1786:2008 requirements for Fe 500D, you are paying Fe 500D prices for Fe 500 (or worse) performance.
As an authorized Rungta Steel distributor since 2018, Premier Steels supplies Rungta TMT bars directly from the mill with an unbroken chain of custody. Every consignment carries a Rungta Steel mill test certificate — heat number traceable back to the mill — confirming yield strength, elongation, UTS, and chemical composition against IS 1786:2008.
For structural engineers, quantity surveyors, and site engineers who have Fe 500D in their specification, this traceability is not optional — it is what your project's quality record requires. Mandi traders without mill authorization cannot offer this.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rungta Fe 500D
What does the 'D' in Fe 500D mean?
The 'D' stands for Ductile. Fe 500D has the same minimum yield strength as Fe 500 (500 N/mm²) but a higher minimum elongation — 16% vs 12% — and a mandatory UTS-to-yield ratio of at least 1.10. This extra ductility allows the bar to absorb energy before fracturing, which is critical in earthquake-prone regions.
Is Fe 500D mandatory for construction in Delhi NCR?
Delhi and the NCR region fall in seismic zone IV. IS 13920:2016 (Ductile Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures) specifies that Fe 500D (or equivalent ductile grade) must be used in ductile detailing zones. Most structural engineers in the region default to Fe 500D for this reason. Always follow the recommendation of your structural engineer.
What sizes of Fe 500D do you stock?
Premier Steels stocks Rungta Fe 500D in all standard diameters: 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, and 32 mm. WhatsApp us to confirm availability and current stock for your specific sizes.
Do you supply a mill test certificate with Fe 500D?
Yes — a Rungta Steel mill test certificate accompanies every Fe 500D consignment. The certificate confirms grade, heat number, yield strength, elongation, UTS/YS ratio, and chemical composition per IS 1786:2008. Essential for project quality records and structural audits.
What is the difference between Fe 500 and Fe 500D?
Both grades have the same 500 N/mm² minimum yield strength. Fe 500D requires higher elongation (≥ 16% vs ≥ 12%), a higher UTS-to-yield ratio (≥ 1.10 vs ≥ 1.08), and tighter carbon equivalent limits. These differences make Fe 500D the preferred grade for seismic zones, high-rises, bridges, and any application where ductility under extreme loads matters.
