Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) sits on the NH-19 Grand Trunk corridor. Buyer work clusters around Naini south of the Yamuna, Phaphamau on the north bank, the old-city plumbing trades, and the seasonal Magh / Kumbh grids on the Jhunsi and Sangam flats. RP Sales quotes those RFQs from the Kanpur stockyard. Typical lines are ERW and structural to IS 1239 / IS 3589 and seamless to ASTM A106 / A53 when the approved design names those families. Wholesale figures, tax, freight, and the committed date sit on the quotation. Mill traceability travels when the order lists it.
Why quote Kanpur for a Prayagraj drop
Kanpur is the dispatch base. A landed cost is ex-warehouse Kanpur plus the freight and tax written on that quotation. This page does not publish mill-direct pricing, a deeper-inventory claim against local yards, a kilometre figure, or a 4-5 hour transit. Naini, Phaphamau, and Civil Lines are drop geography. The committed date is on the quote.
On-the-ground in Prayagraj — three buyer pockets
Geographically Prayagraj reads as three sub-markets. Naini Industrial Area south of the Yamuna is the OEM and fabricator base — precision tubes (EN 10305 / DIN 2391 ST52 cold-drawn) are quoted when hydraulic-press or enclosure drawings name those tolerances, plus structural ERW when a bridge-approach or industrial BOQ names IS 1239 or IS 3589. Phaphamau on the north bank is where bridge-and-flyover service contractors write GI and large-diameter ERW; copy the class and wall from the approved design rather than assuming Medium or Heavy on every ring-main. The third stream is Magh / Kumbh cycle infrastructure — temporary water and sanitation grids across Jhunsi and the Sangam flats — where IS 1239 GI moves through PWD-empanelled contractors against fixed-window tenders. Treat those contractors as the buyers. This page does not claim a supply relationship with IFFCO Phulpur, NCR Railway, or any named public body.
The Kanpur stockyard dispatches on NH-19. This page does not publish a kilometre figure, a 5-7 hour haul, a next-day rule, or a haulage-union overnight convention. Sangam-season traffic is a reason to name the erection window on the RFQ, not a published half-day add-on. Freight is quoted for the billed mass, PIN code, and whether the load is a dedicated truck or a consolidated drop. Payment terms for first-time Naini accounts, PWD-empanelled contractors, and seasonal surge lots are written on the quotation.

Allahabad-titled tenders — same product family, same Kanpur dispatch
The city was renamed Prayagraj in 2018, but Allahabad-titled PWD tenders and buyer searches that still use the older city name still arrive. Civil Lines, Naini, Phaphamau, Jhunsi, and Daraganj were Allahabad neighborhoods and remain Prayagraj neighborhoods. When a tender or BOQ still reads Allahabad, invoice and e-way bill are raised in the buyer-preferred name form and GST address fields accept the post-rename city name. Material is identical. This page does not claim a supply relationship with NCR Railway, Allahabad High Court, or AAI Bamrauli; those names appear here only as the kind of legacy paperwork a buyer may still hold.
ERW pipe RFQs across Prayagraj districts
Prayagraj ERW RFQs split by geography. Naini shops write structural and OEM sections; copy the class and wall from the award. Phaphamau contractors write water-augmentation laterals and ring-main connections; copy the IS 3589 wall or the IS 1239 class from the approved design. The Jhunsi corridor and the eastern housing belt write plumbing risers and small commercial frames the same way. Standing stock lists, 7-10 day mill pads, and ready-stock promises are not published here. Non-standard wall or coating is quoted with the lead time written on that quotation.
Dispatch from Kanpur toward Prayagraj
Loads move from the Kanpur stockyard on NH-19. The quotation states the carrier, the drop PIN code, and the committed date. This page does not publish a 12 PM cutoff, a same-day load rule, or a next-working-day arrival. Dedicated-truck versus consolidated drops are quoted per load.
Prayagraj city, Naini, Phaphamau, Jhunsi — each PIN code on its own carrier plan.
Sangam-flat and Magh / Kumbh grids need the erection window on the RFQ so the quotation can name a committed date.
Buyer work we quote around Prayagraj
These are service-area work types, not a claim that RP Sales supplies the named establishments.
- Construction and real estate — structural ERW for residential, commercial, and Smart City-adjacent work when the project BOQ names the class.
- Government and PWD tenders — ISI-marked pipes for water-supply schemes and public buildings when the approved BOQ names the standard and the ISI evidence.
- Railway-adjacent infrastructure — structural and utility pipes for Prayagraj Junction-area platform and yard work when the work order names the family.
- Highway and culvert work — pile, guard-rail, and culvert pipe on NH-19 / NH-30-adjacent jobs when the design names the product.
- Seasonal gathering infrastructure — temporary and permanent water and sanitation lines for Magh / Kumbh windows, quoted against the work order.
Documents named on the order
Government and institutional lots in Prayagraj often need a longer file than a trade dispatch. List the file on the RFQ. Nothing below is a standing attachment on every consignment.
- Original Mill Test Certificates stating chemical and mechanical properties, when the order asks for them.
- Delivery challans with weighment-bridge slips.
- Tax-compliant e-way bills and GST invoices, with tax as stated on the current quotation.
- IBR paperwork classified by component: Form III-A for steam pipes, Form III-B for tubes, Form III-C only for boiler mountings and fittings, and only when the approved inspection plan / authority names that form.
How to place an order from Prayagraj
- Send the requirement list — pipe type, size (NB/OD), grade, quantity, documents, billing name (Prayagraj or Allahabad form), and delivery location.
- Ajay or Ayush replies with a quotation once the RFQ has enough fields to price. Reply timing is confirmed when we acknowledge the RFQ.
- Approve the quotation and issue a Purchase Order that repeats the document set, billing name, and committed date.
- We dispatch from the Kanpur stockyard on the carrier plan written on that acknowledgement.

RFQ checklist for Prayagraj buyers
Naini OEMs and PWD contractors lose the most time to a missing class and a missing paperwork list. Send the seven lines below with your RFQ.
- Size in NB plus OD in mm. Tenders list 50 NB while site teams measure 60.3 mm OD. State both and the mismatch risk disappears.
- Class or wall thickness. Light, Medium or Heavy under IS 1239, or exact WT in mm for seamless. Copy the class from the approved Smart City or PWD BOQ. Do not assume Medium on every water lateral.
- Grade and standard. IS 1239 / IS 3589 for ERW, ASTM A106 Gr B for seamless, SA192 / SA210 / SA213 where the approved design names those grades. Tenders reading Allahabad take the same families.
- Length and end finish. State the mill length or the cutting schedule. Cut-to-length bundles suit Magh Mela grid layouts with repeat bay sizes when the RFQ includes the schedule.
- Coating. Bare black, red-oxide primer or hot-dip GI to IS 1239. Coating follows the approved design and corrosion data. Sangam-flat temporary lines still need the coating the work order names.
- Test paperwork. List MTC, ISI copies, and IBR forms on the RFQ. Classify IBR items as steam pipe (Form III-A), tube (Form III-B), or mounting/fitting (Form III-C) and defer the issued form to the approved inspection plan.
- Delivery basis. Ex-warehouse Kanpur plus freight to the Prayagraj PIN code, with tax as stated on the current price list and quotation. Confirm dedicated truck or consolidation. Track Kanpur steel market movement with the quote.
Receiving a Prayagraj or Allahabad-titled lot
Match the invoice billing name to the work order before the truck is unloaded. An Allahabad-titled file that arrives with a mismatched city name on the GST invoice is a paperwork miss, not a grade miss. Hold one class per line item; mixing Light and Medium in one riser shows up at inspection. On Sangam-flat staging, cap ends and stack off the sand so grit does not chew threading dies.
Payment terms are not published here. If the PO and the acknowledgement disagree on class, documents, or date, stop the load in Kanpur rather than arguing on the Naini approach after the erection window has opened.
Worked example: tonnage check on a Naini order for Prayagraj
Take a Naini fabricator order of 150 lengths of 50 NB ERW written as Medium class, each 6 m long, only when that class is what the approved design names. The site weight formula is W = (OD minus t) x t x 0.02466 kg/m, with OD and wall in mm. Using OD 60.3 mm and wall 3.6 mm — the pair stored in the site pipe-weight table for this worked example, not a displayed chart mass — W = (60.3 minus 3.6) x 3.6 x 0.02466 = 5.03 kg/m. One 6 m length weighs 30.2 kg, and the full order is 150 x 30.2 = 4,530 kg, about 4.53 MT.
Ask for a current freight quote on the billed mass, PIN code, and whether the lot moves as a dedicated truck, a part-load, or a paired second Prayagraj drop. Do not apply a published per-kilogram band from this page. Put the tonnage on the PO and reconcile the weighment slip on arrival.
Procurement mistakes Prayagraj buyers avoid
Failed Prayagraj deliveries usually trace to four repeating errors. Each is cheap to prevent at RFQ stage and costly once seasonal scaffolding is half built.
- Late surge ordering. Kumbh-cycle tenders run fixed windows. Place GI surge lots against the work-order schedule, not at scaffold-erection week.
- Class drift across lots. Mixing Light and Medium in one riser system shows up at inspection. Hold one class per line item.
- Name-mismatch paperwork. Legacy Allahabad-titled work orders need matching invoice naming. Confirm the billing name at PO stage.
- Sand-flat storage. Pipes staged near the Sangam flats pick up grit that chews threading dies. Cap ends and stack off the sand.
Key points for Prayagraj buyers
- Kanpur is the dispatch base via NH-19. The committed date is on the quotation.
- Naini OEMs should attach drawing tolerances. Phaphamau contractors should copy IS 3589 wall or IS 1239 class from the approved design.
- Magh and Kumbh windows need the erection schedule on the RFQ.
- Specify MTC, ISI copies, and applicable IBR forms on the order; the quotation must confirm the document set. Form III-C is for mountings and fittings only.
- Firm quotes need NB plus OD, class or wall, grade, length, coating, paperwork, billing name, and PIN code. See Kanpur dispatch base.
