"The Ductile Iron (DI) pipe plant-2 (new plant) production had a vertical ramp-up, and its production of finished pipes touched 35 kilotonnes (KT) in the quarter (25 KT in Q3 FY23)," the company said in a statement.
The company said its product portfolio now covers the larger size range of 900 mm to 1200 mm diameter pipes, which constituted almost 30% of sales from the new plant.
"The company’s DI Pipe business has a healthy order book for FY24 execution because of robust demand for the government’s water infrastructure projects. The company is geared up and well positioned to meet this high demand in the upcoming quarters through additional volumes from the new DI Pipe plant,' Tata Metaliks managing director Alok Krishna said.
Besides, he said, the pig iron business was adversely affected by weak market sentiments about commodity prices.
However, domestic demand for pig iron is expected to firm up in the coming quarters, Krishna said.
