India’s real estate sector isn’t just about land and buildings anymore—it’s about what lies beneath. As utility integration becomes central to real estate development, Welspun Corp’s massive Rs1,950 crore export order for coated LSAW pipes reveals a deeper shift: infrastructure-grade materials are becoming the new bottleneck. With water supply, gas grids, and ESG compliance driving the next wave of urban development, developers can no longer afford to ignore the utility backbone.
Welspun Corp Ltd announced a Rs1,950 crore export order for its coated Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding (LSAW) pipes and pipe bends, which lifted its global order book to Rs19,300 crore, reinforcing its position as one of the world’s top large-diameter pipe manufacturers.
While the order is export-focused, its relevance at home is unmistakable. These pipes are critical for transporting oil, gas, and water over long distances—three utilities at the core of integrated housing and urban planning in India. As developers pivot toward township formats and ESG-aligned projects, seamless utility integration is fast becoming a differentiator, not a bonus.
WCL is among the top three manufacturers of large-diameter pipes globally and has established a global footprint across six continents and over 50 countries by delivering key customised solutions for both onshore and offshore applications.
