With significant footfall, the southern chapter of the fair has emerged as the largest convergence of the tube and pipe industry in South Asia. The three-day event witnessed a rich display of latest product ranges, several state-of-the-art technologies and various new solutions, presenting a true reflection of the state of the industry.
Exceeding our expectations, the second edition of Tube & Pipe Fair, 2024, held at Hyderabad’s HITEX Exhibition Centre from August 5-7, has taken the game to another level. With hundred plus brands, seventy exhibitors and a significant footfall, the southern chapter of the fair has emerged as the largest convergence of the tube and pipe industry in South Asia. The three-day event witnessed a rich display of numerous latest product ranges, several state-of-the-art technologies and various new solutions. The convergence is a true reflection of the state of the industry, where many have grown big, new players have joined the game, remarkable technologies have been introduced and many are planning significant investments and footprint expansion.
According to Mr. Priyank Jain, CEO, Tulip 3P Media, “The success of Tube & Pipe Fair, 2024 in The City of Pearls is the success story of the entire industry. We knew from the success of the first edition, which was held in Delhi, that there was enormous potential in the industry; it just needed to be unlocked. Our decision to take the gathering to Hyderabad was motivated by the urge to serve the industry better, and we will continue to do so. What’s unique this time is the increased participation of advanced technology suppliers and players from allied industries. This also highlights an ecosystem where domestic players find themselves competing with foreign peers.” Mention may be made that Tulip 3P Media is the organizer of Tube & Pipe Fair and Cable & Wire Fair as well as the publisher of three niche publications, Tube & Pipe India, Paper Mart and Wire & Cable India.
“We are quite satisfied with the fair; we met a lot of friends and gained some new contacts through this fair,” said Mr. Darius Geldner, Managing Director, Mahler GmbH. The Germany-based company is a renowned name in the furnace sector. “It seems to be a very successful exhibition for us and it was the right decision and choice for us to participate in the Tube & Pipe Fair- Hyderabad. This was the first time that we participated in this fair, and it turned out to be fruitful for us. The fair has been organized really well.” The company is a familiar name in the Indian market, has a strong client base and is aiming to expand its footprint.
Another exhibitor with a similar objective is Istanbul-based Tekmak, a machinery manufacturer, with more than 20 lines already installed in different parts of India. We are participating in the Tube & Pipe Fair – Hyderabad for the first time, shared Mr. Ilker Uzer, the company’s Export Manager. Speaking to us on the first day of the event, he said, “we hope to keep our presence in the exhibition and we hope for the best for a better business relationship in India.”
Among the exhibitors who had experienced the first edition of the fair is Parth Equipments, a manufacturer of tube mills and allied machinery. Exporting since 1993, it supplies machinery to clients in the Middle East, Indonesia, South-East Asia, East Africa, South Africa, South America, North America, and East Europe. According to Mr. Parth Shah, its Executive Director, “We have been associated with the Tube & Pipe Fair for a couple of years. This is the second edition that we have participated in.” He maintained that ‘it turned out to be good’ and received good inquiries and is looking forward to having good conversions. We look forward to your future exhibitions as well, Mr. Shah added.
For Ratnadeep Metal and Tubes, a manufacturer of stainless, seamless and welded steel tubes and pipes, it was their first time. “We are participating in this Tube & Pipe Fair for the first time and it has been a fruitful participation for us. We look forward to participating in future exhibitions with Tulip 3P Media,” Mr. Jaimik Sanghvi, its Director shared.
Interestingly, Xiris Automation’s presence at the fair shows how much the industry has transformed in tech engagement, which will continue to do so. It provides inspection systems for welded tubes. Its systems are used in post-weld or pre-weld, and they provide insight into the process of welded tubes. The company offers cameras that are available for use in other welding processes. Mr. David Garrard, its Director – APAC, who represented the company at the fair said, “We have been working with Tulip 3P Media for a number of shows now, and it has always been effective for us. It has been a really good investment and turns into good ROI in the best cases- about the event.”
We are participating in the Tube & Pipe Fair for the second time, shared Mr. Rohit Pareek, Head – Strategy and Business Development at Satyam Iron & Steel Company. “It has been a great show. The hospitality of the Tube & Pipe Fair team has exceeded our expectations. The fair has a very positive ambiance and it has been a pleasure for us to be here.” Based out of Kolkata, the company has a fully integrated plant manufacturing pipes of diameter 0.75 inch to 3 inch.
Sharing his view, Mr. Ashish Aggarwal, ED- Steel Division at Surya Roshni stated that, “The experience ‘here at the exhibition has been good’. There are lots of tube manufacturers present in the exhibition, he said, and it has given ‘us a very good networking opportunity within the community’.” He, however, expressed his hope to see more technology providers included in the future ‘so that we, as a manufacturer, can see what is new in the market, and it can help us to improve our technology as well’. Exporting to over 50 countries, the 50-year-old pipe manufacturer has the largest range for producing from ½ inch to 140 inch pipes. It also has the largest range of galvanizing products in the country ranging from ½ inch to 30 inch.
For Venus Pipes & Tubes, it was their first experience as an exhibitor. “Experience has been good. The promoters are very cordial. The cooperation from the management side was really good. Everyone is very cooperative. Our experience from the exhibition was very good. We are satisfied with the response and we are looking forward to the next exhibition in Delhi,” said Mr. KS Sinha, its Executive Director. The company, with a tonnage capacity of 3000 tons a month, makes seamless and welded pipes and tubes, and runs a plant in Kutch.
“Our commitment to the industry is that we will continue to push ourselves to take the fair to the next level which will be the third edition in Delhi. Increased participation of several global companies is a good development, and with this success I’m confident that the number will only rise. Our objective is to create a rich ecosystem where anyone can find anybody they are looking for for more value-addition,” Mr. Jain stressed. Exhibitors and visitors alike shared their wish to participate in the next edition of Tube & Pipe Fair which will be held concurrently with Cable & Wire Fair, 2025 at Delhi’s Pragati Maidan from November 4 to 6, 2025.
Apart from the elaborate displays, the bustles, busy exchanges, prospective inquiries and deals made, the fair also offered the opportunity to speak to the movers and shakers of the industry who offered great insights into the current state of the industry as well as its future.
On how the industry has evolved in the past decades, Mr. Ravindra Gupta, Vice-President, Utkarsh India Limited, who has been in the industry for decades, recalled how it was like in the 80s. “When we started, there were very few companies in India. There was little demand for the products and the price was also low. The industry has changed drastically in the last 40 years. With more and more companies coming up, there is an increased demand, which leads to higher production. All players are optimistic right now. We are expecting robust demand for all products in the coming years.”
On the state of the industry, Mr. Sinha said that with big players joining the business, the Indian tube and pipe industry is poised for robust growth in all segments. There is healthy competition, as all companies are upgrading themselves and working in different segments, he stressed. “Indian companies are now ready to compete with foreign-made products, which shows our level of competency and high spirits. In the next five years, there will be a big boom in the Indian pipe industry. The future looks bright and promising.” In such a landscape to stay ahead of the curve, the company, he claimed, focuses on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. “We ensure timely delivery of all our products, which results in high customer retention. Almost everyone who has done business with us in the last five years has given us repeated orders.” The company will soon be launching new products in pipe fittings, and is installing a pipe fitting plant worth INR 125 crore, which will come up in the next 4-5 months.
Mr. Shah shared a similar observation on the transformation of the industry. “I’ve been in the tube and pipe Industry for almost 20 years. The industry has completely changed in the past two decades. The quality which was acceptable some 10-15 years ago, is not acceptable now. People are now looking for high-quality products, which is a good thing. This has resulted in better recognition of our products, especially in foreign markets,” he elaborated. When he joined the industry, there were 10-15 manufacturers, but the number has now gone up to 25-30 companies.
According to him, the Indian tube and pipe products are sold more in the European and American market today than 10 years back, and players have understood the need to supply quality goods. Quality has always been its advantage, he asserted. “We fall in that category, where customers come up with specific requirements related to quality and tolerance.” He, however, lamented the fact that some domestic players in certain sectors are ‘not ready to pay more for high quality’. “To manufacture better quality products in the same price range as low-quality products is indeed challenging, but we have managed to satisfy all our customers.”
In such a market condition, players are eyeing more. We are coming up with an INR 1,000 crore investment plan to upgrade the quality of our pipes and give better service to our customers, said Mr. Pareek. In the next three years, the company plans to double its production capacity and increase market presence across the country. “Our current manufacturing capacity is 15,000 to 20,000 tonne pipes. We are planning to double this capacity in the next three years. We are also planning to capture 70-80 percent of the industry, at least in the five states we currently operate in,” he added. The company is also planning to enter the southern market. “Major tube and pipe markets in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai are currently governed by local players. We are confident of making ripples in the southern part of the country, on the basis of our high-quality products, core values, and strong dealer & distributor network,” he elucidated.
Despite the bright prospects and the tremendous transformation the industry has gone through, to overlook challenges would be to paint a half-complete picture. The major challenge from the initial days has been to maintain the quality of the material, said Mr. Pareek. He claimed the company, under the guidance of its Director, Mr. Rahul Agarwal, had overcome it. The result is: “We produce the best quality billets, iron ore and sponge. We even take care of the straight portion of pipe, to optimize its quality.” Another challenge he highlighted is the fluctuation of rates. “Since the secondary markets are highly volatile, it is also a big challenge to maintain robust relations with dealers and distributors. If we fail to develop their faith in us, we will not be able to survive. The company does not just sell them a product, it wins their confidence.”

We grapple with challenges such as low-quality raw material and rising competition, Mr. Gupta observed. “We use the best raw material available in the market. There are some companies, which use sub-standard raw material. It leads to deterioration of quality. In the GI pipes segment, we face competition. We see competition as an opportunity, as it gives rise to a new path. We try our best to adapt ourselves.” On regulations, he said that the Government should impose duties on the import of pipes from China and other countries. “People are looking for quality. Imposing duty on import of pipes from China and other countries will encourage Indian manufacturers.”
If the government chooses to impose a duty on the import of pipes from China and other countries, it would prove beneficial for Indian manufacturers and give a boost to home-grown products, Mr. Sinha shared.
Underscoring the evolving nature of the fair since its inception or how more dimensions have come into play in the picture, Mr. Jain claimed that the next edition will definitely plug more gaps in the industry. “In addition to showcasing products and technologies, the show will eventually become the global knowledge hub, or the Davos of the industry.”
The success of Tube & Pipe Fair, 2024 in The City of Pearls is the success story of the entire industry. We knew from the success of the first edition, held in Delhi, that there was enormous potential in the industry that need to be unlocked.
