In short: IS 2062 E250 plate is India's standard structural steel plate (250 MPa minimum yield), used for building frames, bridges, tanks, machinery bases and general fabrication.
Why this combination
Why IS 2062 E250 in plates
E250 is the default structural plate on Indian drawings, available in sub-grades (A, BR, B0, C) that differ in impact-test requirements.
For higher strength, E350 or E450 plate allows lighter sections.
