Cuttack is Odisha's old commercial capital on the Mahanadi delta, with MSME estates at Jagatpur, Ramdaspur and Khapuria, a heavy-industry belt at Choudwar, and a large hospital and institute base. We manufacture and electropolish SS 304L and 316L pipes and tubes and supply Cuttack's plants, institutions and fabricators directly, with MTC EN 10204 3.1, 100% PMI testing and a measured Ra report on every order.
Cuttack sits at the head of the Mahanadi delta, about 30 km from Bhubaneswar, and its industry grew from the city's trading and craft traditions. The state's industrial infrastructure corporation runs several estates here, including Jagatpur Industrial Estate, Ramdaspur Industrial Estate and Khapuria Industrial Estate. A textile park at Ramdaspur and Choudwar and an industrial estate for auto and auto components at Cuttack are listed among its projects. North of the city, the Choudwar area is a heavy-industry belt of ferro-alloys, thermal power, pulp and paper, and coke ovens. Cuttack also has a large government medical college and hospital and other institutes.
A word on fit. Silver filigree and other craft metalwork are dry, and the Choudwar plants run on carbon steel and specialty alloy. Where we're useful is institutional clean utilities (clean steam, purified water, laboratory lines), food and small engineering units in the estates, DM-water and clean-utility lines inside the Choudwar plants, and the fabricators who serve them.

Instant dimension calculation and Ra unit conversions for engineering procurement
Oils, cutting fluids and drawing residues are completely removed first. The finish is only as good as the chemical preparation.
Where weld heat tint or surface oxide is present, it is etched and activated so the pipe surface electropolishes uniformly.
The pipe acts as anode in an electrolytic acid bath. High microscopic peaks dissolve first, levelling the surface and stripping free iron.
The chromium-rich passive layer is stabilised per ASTM A967 / ASTM B912 to prevent future pitting and galvanic attack.
High-purity deionised water rinse removes all electrolytic residues, followed by hot air drying, capping and clean poly-sleeving.
