304 Stainless Steel Price per Kg – Key Drivers
304 stainless steel price per kg is primarily driven by nickel (8–10.5%) and chromium (18–20%) content. The London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel cash price is the benchmark — a ₹1,000/t nickel move shifts SS 304 by roughly ₹15–20/kg. Other factors:
- Gauge: Thinner sheets (0.5–1 mm) carry a rolling premium of 10–15% over 2–3 mm.
- Finish: 2B/No.1 is baseline; BA adds ~5%; mirror/hairline ~15%; PVD coating ~25%.
- Form: Pipes incur welding + sizing cost over sheets; bars add peeling/centering.
- Quantity: Orders above 5–10 MT qualify for mill-direct or volume discounts.
- Origin: Prime mills (Jindal, JSL, POSCO, Tisco) vs. re-rollers — 10–15% gap.
Jindal Stainless Steel Price per Kg – Why the Premium?
Jindal stainless steel price per kg reflects the assurance of a primary producer. Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) and Jindal Stainless (Hisar) deliver:
- Verified chemistry via MTC (EN 10204 3.1) — critical for pressure vessels, food pharma, export.
- Consistent gauge tolerance (±0.02–0.03 mm) — reduces fabrication scrap.
- Superior surface finish (2B, BA, No.4) — less rework for architectural jobs.
- Traceable heat numbers — mandatory for many OEM and government tenders.
For non-critical fabrication (gates, furniture, general structural), secondary/re-rolled SS 304/202 at ₹245–280/kg and ₹145–180/kg respectively offers better value. Rajshree stocks both prime and commercial grades — specify your requirement when enquiring.

- What is the 304 stainless steel price per kg?
- SS 304 ranges ₹245–310/kg depending on form (sheet/pipe/bar), gauge, finish, and order volume. Nickel content (8–10.5%) is the main cost driver.
- Is Jindal stainless steel price per kg higher than other brands?
- Yes, Jindal prime material typically carries a 10–15% premium over secondary grades due to MTC traceability, tighter tolerances, and consistent finish — justified for critical applications.
- How is stainless steel price per kg calculated?
- Base alloy cost (LME nickel/chrome) + conversion charges + finish premium + logistics + margin. Nickel alone drives ~60% of SS 304 cost.
- Does stainless steel price vary by thickness?
- Yes. Thinner gauges (0.5–1 mm) cost 10–15% more per kg due to extra rolling passes and lower yield. Always specify gauge when requesting quotes.
- How can I get an exact stainless steel quote?
- Share grade, form, dimensions, finish, quantity, and delivery pincode. Rajshree provides same-day quotes for Delhi NCR and pan-India dispatch.
