Revenue guidance

Category 4
  • Future growth depends primarily on government expenditure, especially in the oil and gas sector.
  • Current demand is constrained; no ability to create demand independently.
  • The upcoming Union Budget is expected to signal a potential increase in government spending, which could positively impact growth.
  • Capacity utilization is currently below full capacity due to finishing line constraints, which are being addressed (e.g., Telangana finishing line project).
  • Premium connections production is expected to start in about six months, potentially adding new revenue streams.
  • Drill pipe orders exist but are small in volume; however, they offer high margins.
  • Management is open to inorganic growth but will only consider distressed assets at comfortable valuations.
  • Exports market outlook remains uncertain, including the impact of FTAs with Europe.
  • Overall, growth is contingent on macroeconomic factors and government spending trajectories.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Growth is closely tied to government expenditure, especially in the oil and gas sector; improvement expected post the upcoming Union Budget.
  • Current order book remains steady with consistent tonnage dispatched despite economic challenges.
  • Drill pipe orders are high-margin but small in volume (~8,000 to 9,000 tons annually).
  • Capacity expansion (e.g., Telangana finishing line) aims to resolve bottlenecks but may not immediately increase production capacity.
  • Management is cautious, conserving cash and seeking distressed acquisition opportunities rather than aggressive expansion.
  • Margins expected to remain stable, with EBITDA per ton in the range of INR10,000 to INR15,000; no material decline anticipated.
  • Premium connections segment (50,000 to 100,000 tons annually market size) under development; production to start in ~6 months.
  • Export growth uncertain; awaiting impact of new FTAs with Europe.
  • Dividend payout has been quadrupled historically, with management focused on long-term value creation rather than short-term returns.

Order book

No
  • Current order book as of 20th January 2026 is INR 1,302 crores.
  • Approximately 33% of the order book comprises orders from ONGC and Oil India.
  • Order book is typically for a period of 3 to 4 months.
  • Maintained and replenished order book without compromising tonnage dispatched, despite challenging economic conditions.
  • Oil and gas order book is around INR 400 crores, constituting high EBITDA per ton (~33%).
  • Drill pipe orders are awaited; annual market size for drill pipes in India is about 8,000 to 9,000 tons, considered small but high-margin.
  • Regular demand for seamless pipes exists, with expectations of possible government expenditure improvement post-budget to boost orders.
  • Imports account for around 20-25% of domestic demand; no reduction in imports seen recently.

Capex plans

Yes

  • The Telangana finishing line, with a purchase order of INR90 crore, is expected to begin partially in the current quarter.
  • The finishing line will increase finishing capacity by 1 lakh tons but not production capacity; current production capacity is 5.5 lakh tons, with some finishing capacity constraints.
  • Planned capacity for premium connections is under development, expected to start production in about six months.
  • The company is conserving cash and looking for distressed inorganic opportunities aligned with its valuation comfort, avoiding full-value asset purchases.
  • No diversification into other segments is planned currently; focus remains on internal operations and treasury management.
