Mr.Ashwani Kumar Bhatia, The Founder & Managing Director, ARS Steels said, “Traditionally consumers of building materials and more particularly TMT bars in Tamil Nadu including Chennai have always opted for “Superior quality” material available in India. Post Covid, consumer buying behavior for TMT bars have significantly changed. Noticeably, the quality conscious Chennai buyer apparently is being misled and lured into the ‘price’ trap. The unaware consumer does not have any means to determine the quality of the product, simultaneously does not comprehend the effect of inferior quality TMT bars on the life of the structures.Concurrently in the internet era, consumers demand transparency in product quality, service, supply chain, raw materials, processes etc. ‘Customer delight’ in TMT bar purchase is achieved through a combination of providing an excellent product supported by a satisfying buying experience which is a once in a lifetime purchase”.
He added, looking into the above demands, ARS Steels is launching a first of its kind in the industry a campaign that educates and empowers the consumers to buy the right quality TMT bars. In the awareness campaign, the company is investing 15 crores.
