Introduction
Once a struggling steel pipe manufacturer, Jindal Saw now pumps out profits like a fire hydrant on steroids. From DI pipes to LSAW monsters, it’s everywhere – India, Middle East, Africa, you name it. But beneath the glossy steel coating lies the reality of high contingent liabilities, a stock that has fallen 32% in one year, and an industry as cyclical as your New Year gym resolutions.
Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
- Segments: LSAW, HSAW, DI pipes, seamless pipes, and pellets.
- Clients: Oil & gas majors, water supply projects, infrastructure giants.
- Revenue Mix: 70% domestic, 30% export.
- USP: One-stop pipe solution, world’s third-largest rust-free iron pipe producer.
Roast: If India builds a pipeline to Mars, chances are Jindal Saw will quote for it.
