Crafting structures that last a lifetime
Bharat Steel Corporation has a rich history that traces back to its foundation by Akbar Ali Shakir. In 1965, Akbar Ali Shakir moved to Malkapur, where he started his career in service until 1975. He ventured into trading wood and operating a sawmill until 1985. His entrepreneurial journey continued as he expanded into cement and steel trading until 1995. By 2005, Akbar Ali became the owner of four weighbridges and an SSI manufacturer. From 2005 to 2015, he further established himself as a dealer and importer of Uttam steel. Today, he continues to explore new opportunities as a builder and developer, with many future projects on the horizon.
Shabbir Husain Shakir, the co-founder, joined Bharat Steel Corporation in 1980. He initially traded GC sheets from Mumbai until 1990. From 1990 to 2000, he served as a dealer for Lloyd steel, followed by a decade as a dealer and wholesaler for Uttam steel until 2010. By 2020, Shabbir Husain had built a vast network of over 600 retailers, solidifying Bharat Steel Corporation's position as a leading provider in the region. Together, their combined vision and efforts have made Bharat Steel Corporation a trusted name in the construction industry.
