# Fasteners from India: process, clusters and QA > How fasteners are made in India and where: Ludhiana, Rohtak and Jamnagar. Process chain, QA tests, HS heading and lead times, mapped by SourceSquid. Source: https://sourcesquid.co/india-atlas/products/fasteners/ Product guide # Fasteners. How India makes them. Fasteners such as bolts, nuts, screws and special parts are best sourced from Ludhiana, Rohtak, Jamnagar, Pune and Faridabad. Indian makers cold-forge and hot-forge fasteners in carbon, alloy and stainless steel and in brass, to DIN, ISO, ASTM and drawing specifications.

Established makers produce high-strength bolts with controlled heat treatment and test certificates. ### What coatings are available? Zinc plating, zinc-nickel, zinc-flake coatings, hot-dip galvanising, and phosphate and oil. ### Are special fasteners possible? Yes. Many suppliers make specials from drawings, including shoulder bolts, studs and turned parts. More product guides ## Related products.
