Venus Pipes & Tubes (Venus Pipes) has commenced commercial operations of a fittings facility and commissioned additional seamless pipes and tubes capacity at Dhaneti, Gujarat, on 26 May 2026. The company, a manufacturer and exporter of stainless steel pipes and tubes, said the moves form part of an expansion programme to broaden its product offerings and serve domestic and international markets. The developments follow earlier capacity additions and planned integration measures.

Venus Pipes commissioned an additional 4,200 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of seamless pipes and tubes capacity under the current phase, bringing the total incremental seamless capacity under the overall expansion to 6,000 MTPA, higher than the 4,800 MTPA initially planned. The company had commissioned 1,800 MTPA in November 2025. It also commissioned an equivalent Mother Hollow Pipes capacity as backward integration to support seamless production.

The newly operational fittings facility reflects a strategy of forward integration into value-added product categories and is aimed at enhancing the product mix. The additions are intended to strengthen positioning as a comprehensive stainless steel piping solutions provider for end-user industries including Power, Oil & Gas, Chemicals and Engineering, as well as emerging sectors such as Data Centres and Semiconductor manufacturing. Management indicated that these steps are designed to deepen customer engagement and support long-term growth opportunities.

Venus Pipes supplies a range of seamless and welded tubes and pipes and exports to more than 30 countries, including the United States, markets in the Middle East and members of the European Union. The company stated that the capacity increases and integration measures will support both domestic sales and international expansion of value-added offerings. The press release included a standard disclaimer noting that certain statements are forward looking and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Cement companies plan to expand clean energy capacity to 6 GW by FY28

India’s major cement companies are set to raise their clean energy capacity to 6 GW by March 2028 from around 4 GW at the end of March 2026, according to ratings agency ICRA. The planned expansion is expected to involve investments of Rs. 130 bn over the next two years.

The additional capacity could generate annual savings of Rs. 62 bn to Rs. 67 bn, resulting in an estimated payback period of 1.8 to 2.2 years. Cement is an emission-intensive industry, and leading producers have established net-zero roadmaps covering the next 15 to 20 years.

The calcination process accounts for 57 to 60 per cent of the sector’s total emissions, while fuel combustion contributes 27 to 30 per cent and electricity consumption accounts for 10 to 13 per cent. ICRA said the figures highlighted the need for a broad decarbonisation strategy involving green power, blended cement, alternative fuels and improvements in clinker efficiency.

Green energy is considered one of the most commercially attractive decarbonisation options because it can reduce emissions while lowering operating costs. Every 5 per cent increase in green power replacement can reduce power and fuel costs by Rs. 15 to Rs. 16 per tonne. A 25 per cent replacement level could therefore save Rs. 75 to Rs. 80 per tonne and expand operating margins by 140 to 160 basis points.

Cement producers are also assessing carbon capture, utilisation and storage, although high implementation costs, energy requirements and limited transport and storage infrastructure are expected to slow commercial adoption. The government has proposed Rs. 200 bn over five years to support deployment across key sectors. Meanwhile, companies are targeting thermal substitution rates of 10 to 15 per cent over the next three to five years, compared with the current industry level of around 6 per cent.
