Introduction
India’s public capex rose to ₹12.2 lakh Cr in the Union Budget for FY27, up from ₹11.21 lakh Cr the year before.
Roads, water pipelines and rural electrification projects absorb a large share of this spending. And, all three need steel pipes and tubes.
Domestic demand for these products is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~5% till FY30, and per capita steel consumption is projected to reach 160 kg by FY31.
Within this, there exists a massive opportunity for players to enter and supply these products. Jindal Supreme (India) Limited, a Hisar-based manufacturer of mild steel pipes, galvanised pipes, metal beam crash barriers and GI tubular poles, serves this very market.
They’re now going live in an IPO consisting of a Fresh Issue of ~₹100 Cr, alongside an Offer for Sale of ~₹25 Cr, from 16th to 18th Sep, 2026.
The Business Model
Jindal Supreme was founded in 1974 and has stayed in the hands of the Jindal family for three generations.
They manufacture four products at a single facility in Hisar, Haryana:
- Mild steel (MS) black pipes,
- MS galvanised pipes,
- Metal beam crash barriers and
- Galvanised iron (GI) tubular poles.
All four start from the same raw material, hot-rolled steel coil, and pass through a common tube mill before branching into separate finishing lines.
Black pipes are the base product, welded steel tubes used in plumbing, water supply and structural work.
Galvanised pipes take the same tube and dip it in molten zinc, adding corrosion resistance for outdoor and wet applications.
The company began making metal beam crash barriers in April 2024 and GI tubular poles in April 2025, both aimed at highway and public infrastructure projects rather than plumbing or construction.
The company sells through two channels:
- Direct sale to institutional buyers and infrastructure contractors, and
- The dealer channel.
They are shifting toward dealers, since dealer relationships tend to outlast individual project cycles.
Unit Economics (per Tonne Sold)
- After a dip to ₹59,247 in FY25, realisations per tonne rebounded strongly to ₹66,805 in FY26, driven by a shift toward higher-value products like Metal Beam Crash Barriers and GI Tubular Poles.
- Material Costs stayed roughly the same while scaling production successfully drove per-tonne employee costs down from ₹915 in FY24 to ₹696 in FY26.
- Adjusted EBITDA per Tonne grew from ₹2,085 in FY24 to ₹4,117 in FY26, and Margins also rose from 3% to 6% in the same period.
Operating Metrics
- Demand shifted toward higher-value products rather than volume; galvanised pipe production fell from 42,521 MT in FY24 to just 27,112 MT in FY26, as newer lines emerged.
- Realisation per tonne for Metal Beam Crash Barriers jumped from ₹49,406 in FY25 to ₹75,004 per tonne in FY26, a 52% increase. This is the newest product line and the most volatile.
- The dealer network grew by 56% in three years, from 34 to 53 dealers, and dealer revenue nearly doubled its share of the mix. A dealer network takes years to build and is harder for a competitor to copy than a factory. If this trend holds, it should reduce dependence on lumpy, project-linked direct sales.
The Financial Stuff
Revenue from Operations dipped from ₹645 Cr in FY24 to ₹586 Cr in FY25 due to softer steel prices and lower volumes, and rebounded to ₹675 Cr in FY26 driven by higher realizations and volume scale-up in new value-added products like crash barriers and GI poles.
Adj. EBITDA Margin doubled from 3% in FY24 to 6% in FY26, whereas PAT Margin stayed roughly the same from FY24 to FY26.
Finance Costs also remained largely stable between ₹8 Cr and ₹9 Cr across FY24 to FY26. Note that some of the IPO proceeds will go towards debt prepayment.
Peer Comparison
- Scale is the company’s clearest gap against every peer in this set. Jindal Supreme’s revenue is 59% of Vibhor Steel Tubes, 28% of Sambhv Steel Tubes and just 16% of Hi-Tech Pipes.
- Jindal’s EBITDA Margin of 6% and PAT Margin of 3% beats Vibhor Steel Tubes and Hi-Tech Pipes, though both trail Sambhv Steel Tubes, whose margins are the strongest of the four.
- Jindal Supreme’s RoE of 26% is the highest of the four companies, but its D/E Ratio of 1.24x is also far above peers, all of whom are almost negligibly leveraged.
At an upper price band of ₹93, and FY26 EPS of ₹5.59, Jindal Supreme’s P/E comes out to 16.64x, whereas Vibhor Steel Tubes trades at 25.6x, Sambhv trades at 22.7x, and Hi-Tech trades at 19.8x.
Key Risks
- Single manufacturing location. All production runs through one facility in Hisar, Haryana. A fire, equipment failure, labour dispute or local disruption at this site would stop output entirely, with no backup plant to absorb the loss.
- Rising customer concentration. The top 10 customers contributed 20% of revenue in FY26, up from 16% in FY25, and reached 24% in Q1FY27.
- Land held on lease, not owned. The manufacturing plant sits on land leased from the promoters, Abhishek Jindal and Janak Raj Jindal, under 30-year agreements signed in 2023 and 2025. Any dispute over renewal terms, with the lessors also being company insiders, could affect operations.
- New products with a short track record. Crash barriers and GI tubular poles, launched in April 2024 and April 2025 respectively, now make up 22% of revenue but carry no multi-year history. Both depend heavily on government infrastructure tenders, which can be delayed or cancelled for reasons outside the company’s control.
Conclusion
Jindal Supreme is a small, founder-led steel pipe manufacturer with returns that outrun its size and debt that outran its peers. FY26 delivered real operating improvement, but cash flow remains negative even though profit is positive. The company plans to use ~₹71 Cr of the Fresh Issue to repay debt, which would help bring the D/E Ratio down.
