The plant has been developed with modern manufacturing infrastructure, enhanced automation, and robust quality-control systems, enabling the Company to meet stringent customer specifications and evolving industry standards. With the commissioning of the Kathua facility, Hi-Tech Pipes is now very close to achieving 1 million tonnes of installed manufacturing capacity, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing steel tube and pipe manufacturers in the country.

With greater emphasis on coated and specialized steel offerings, Hi-Tech Pipes expects to benefit from an improved product mix, enhanced realizations, and better EBITDA per tonnes over the medium to long term. The newly commissioned capacity is expected to begin contributing meaningfully from mid of Q4FY26 onwards, supporting both volume growth and profitability.
