New Star Industries is a shear studs manufacturer in India, in continuous production since 1961 and certified to IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 14001:2015. We supply shear studs with ceramic ferrules for welded shear connector applications in steel-concrete composite construction, engineered to transfer horizontal shear load between steel beams and concrete slabs while maintaining structural integrity.
Every batch is produced under controlled cold-forging and heat-treatment processes at our Ludhiana manufacturing facility, giving fabricators and EPC contractors consistent dimensional tolerance and weld performance on site - order after order.
As a premier shear studs manufacturer in India, New Star Industries specializes in providing high-tensile connectors that are fundamental to modern civil engineering. Our shear studs act as the critical link in steel-concrete composite construction, effectively resisting the longitudinal shear at the interface between the steel beam and the concrete slab.
Our Arc Welding Studs are designed with a precision-engineered Aluminium Tip at the welding end. This tip acts as a deoxidizer and helps in initiating the arc, ensuring a clean, full-fusion weld between the stud and the parent steel member.

Our shear studs are cold-forged and heat-treated in-house at our Ludhiana facility, under the same quality system used for our automotive-grade fasteners. Every production lot is dimensionally checked before dispatch, so the stud-to-ferrule fit is consistent for drawn-arc welding at site - reducing weld rejections and re-work for fabricators. For a closer look at our production setup, visit our infrastructure page, and for a deeper technical read on how ferrule selection and stud types affect weld quality, see our detailed guide on shear connector stud types, applications and advantages.
