What the record says.
Welspun Corp delivered a standout Q2 FY26 with PAT of Rs 440 crore (+53% YoY) and record quarterly AIA, driven by strong US pipeline demand including a new $715 million order for data center-related gas infrastructure. The consolidated order book stands at Rs 23,500 crore (record high), evenly split between India and US operations with 2+ years of visibility. The Little Rock mill is fully booked till FY28. India water sector remains subdued due to fund crunch but management expects rebound next financial year with Jal Jeevan Mission funding. Saudi operations via associate entity East Pipes delivered best-ever EBITDA in Q2. Capex of Rs 950 crore spent in H1; total Rs 5,500 crore capex plan remains on track with Rs 2,000 crore remaining. Risk includes stainless steel tariff headwinds and potential delays in water sector recovery if government funding remains constrained.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- H1 achieved Rs 1,186 crore with confirmed order book and execution capability on track; management confident of meeting or exceeding full-year target.
- New longitudinal mill in US expected to commission by FY27-end with full utilization targeted by FY28, supported by LNG export and data center demand.
- Both Saudi facilities (DI pipe plant and longitudinal submerged arc welding mill) on track for March 2026 commissioning.
Risks flagged
- Jal Jeevan Mission funding delays impacting DI pipe and water pipe demand in domestic market; management expects recovery in early next financial year but timing remains uncertain.
- SS bar sales moderated due to tariff conditions affecting steel segment globally; management expects rationalization and eventual uptick but no specific timeline provided.
- While near-term volume covered by 300,000 tons order book, management acknowledges pricing pressure in DI pipes due to subdued domestic market conditions.
- Analyst questioned 3-year payback on $1.1B US expansion given customer-dependent demand; management emphasized fundamental market strength over specific payback calculations.
Key quotes
- This is one of the largest orders we would have received in the last couple of years. This is a very clear indication that the American market stays very very strong buoyant.
- There is a paradigm shift which is now happening in America. We are seeing a shift because of mushrooming of the data centers which is likely to happen in America.
- We have a consolidated order book of close to exceeding 1.25 million tons and this is evenly split between India and US.
