By Ashutosh Arora
Welspun Corp. has announced a $100 million investment to upgrade its high-frequency induction welding pipe manufacturing and coating facilities in the United States. The investment, which will be executed through Welspun’s wholly owned subsidiary, Welspun Pipes Inc., is designed to expand the company’s product offerings and strengthen its position in the U.S. oil and gas sector.
The investment will be deployed over the next 18 months, funded through a mix of local debt and internal accruals. This upgrade will enable Welspun Pipes to produce larger pipe sizes, with an outside diameter of up to 24 inches and a wall thickness of 0.750 inches, thereby expanding its manufacturing capabilities.
Welspun’s strategic move is intended to reinforce its leadership in the U.S. market, particularly in oil, liquids, gas, and distribution sectors. The enhanced facilities will also position the company to tap into the growing market for hydrogen and carbon capture applications across North America.
The company has expressed optimism about the U.S. line pipe market, citing strong demand from active drilling operations in the Permian Basin and the ongoing need for new pipelines to transport gas to the Gulf Coast.
Welspun Corp. Ltd. is a global leader in the manufacturing and supply of high-quality steel pipes and related products, serving critical industries such as oil and gas, water, and infrastructure. With state-of-the-art facilities in India, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, Welspun is recognized for its innovative solutions, sustainability focus, and strategic global partnerships, making it a trusted partner in delivering durable infrastructure solutions worldwide.
