Mahesh Chandra Garg: At Tube Düsseldorf, we will showcase Goodluck India Limited’s integrated manufacturing capabilities, including ERW, CDW/DOM, cylinder and hydraulic tubes, forgings, flanges, precision tubes, structural steel, and UL-certified galvanized EMT and RIGID conduits. We will highlight our advanced automation, robust quality-control systems, consistent product reliability, and wide size range.
Our display will reflect India’s manufacturing excellence and compliance with global certifications. We will also present our ongoing expansions, positioning us among the few companies capable of producing ERW tubes up to 245 × 15 mm and CDW tubes up to 203 × 14 mm, along with our presence in forged components for defense and aerospace applications.
TPI: International trade fairs play a crucial role in shaping industry collaborations. How do platforms like Tube Düsseldorf help Indian manufacturers connect with global markets and customers?
MCG: Tube Düsseldorf helps Indian manufacturers connect directly with global customers. It allows us to understand market needs and expectations. Such platforms support building long-term and trust-based business relationships worldwide. They also strengthen India’s presence and credibility in the global steel industry.
TPI: From your participation at Tube Düsseldorf, what key global market insights are you hoping to gain and bring back to strengthen India’s tube and pipe manufacturing ecosystem?
MCG: We aim to understand new applications and evolving market needs, as well as changing international standards and the latest technological advancements in the tube industry.
As AI becomes an increasingly important part of manufacturing, we are exploring technologies related to AI, ML, and automation that can help improve product quality, reduce rejections, enhance automation, and achieve greater cost efficiency.
For this purpose, we are sending a team of five skilled engineers to explore the latest developments in the tube industry. These learnings will help strengthen India’s tube and pipe manufacturing ecosystem.
Additionally, with new environmental regulations and compliance requirements such as CBAM and Green Steel initiatives, we aim to understand and identify technologies that will help us meet the evolving demands of the European Union.
TPI: Over the years, how have you seen India’s representation evolve at international trade fairs, and how do you contribute to strengthening India’s image as a global engineering hub?
MCG: India is now recognized as a reliable and technology-driven manufacturing hub. Its image has shifted from being purely cost-focused to being quality- and capability-driven. At Goodluck, we support this transformation by delivering globally certified products. We also believe that companies need to consistently maintain the standards and benchmarks set by high-quality mills. We ensure consistent quality across all supplies, while timely execution and strong customer commitment remain our key strengths.
TPI: What core Indian manufacturing strengths differentiate you on the global stage? For what turnkey solutions is the world looking at India?
MCG: India’s key strengths include strong engineering capabilities and cost efficiency. The country also offers large-scale production with high manufacturing flexibility, making India highly competitive in global markets.
