Rain Industries does not have an E-commerce portal through which they can allow their clients to order their products, however, they do have ample information on various offices of their, through which a potential client can reach out to them for any business-related inquiry.


Mobile Apps

Rain Industries does not have any mobile app which provides services to the client. They do have a website through which their potential clients can contact them. Firstly, Rain Industries deals in the production of crucial raw materials for the production of primary aluminium (including calcined petroleum coke (CPC) and coal tar pitch (CTP)), graphite, carbon black, refractory, titanium dioxide and a host of other products, ordering such items from a mobile app doesn’t feel appropriate as such big deals are to be done personally. 

Secondly, Rain Industries’s clients are some renowned businesses like Hindustan Aluminium, Agarwal Profile & Steel, Graphite India Limited, Universal Asphalt Products, and many other international companies etc, who wouldn’t choose a mobile app for ordering the above raw materials they need for further manufacturing. Considering the above factor, not having a mobile app has never been an obstacle for Rain Industries.
