About Us

Welspun Corp Ltd., a part of the $5 Bn Welspun World, with forays in Pipe Solutions and Building Materials, has undertaken some of the most challenging projects around the world, namely, the world’s deepest pipeline, the world’s heaviest pipeline, and the world's longest pipeline, among others.

As part of its Business Growth & Diversification strategy, WCL has forayed into a state-of-the-art Greenfield facility at Anjar, Gujarat to manufacture Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes with a total production capacity of 500,000 MT per annum. This integrated complex is equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology and includes a Blast Furnace that can produce 500,000 MT per annum of hot metal, along with a Sinter Plant, a PCI, an Oxygen Plant, and a Coke Oven.

WCL has an existing manufacturing set-up of BIS Certified Steel Billets and Direct Reduced Iron which will be used as inputs for the manufacture of TMT bars. This is a step towards the company's transformational journey from a large-scale B2C manufacturing firm with our latest offering, TMT Rebars. Our facilities also boast of the manufacture of Stainless Steel Pipes, Tubes, and Bars.

In 2022, WCL made a strategic acquisition in ABG Shipyard, and in the first quarter of 2023, completed the acquisition of the Plastic Products business of Sintex BAPL.
