Why SS316 works in Mumbai
Mumbai's salt-laden coastal air corrodes anything that isn't true marine-grade steel within three to five years — SS304 shows visible pitting well inside that window in Bandra and Powai sea exposure. Only SS316, the alloy used on offshore oil rigs, holds against the combination of 80% humidity, monsoon battering, and year-round sea breeze. There is no inland Mumbai — every install on this coast goes in as SS316 by default.
