Tube & Pipe India: Could you walk us through the evolution of Bhushan Tubes and highlight some of the key turning points in its growth?
Bharat Bhushan Mittal: Bhushan Tubes Private Limited was founded and established in Delhi with a clear vision of building a respected and customer-focused enterprise in the steel pipe and tube industry. Starting from a modest office in Delhi’s steel market, the company initially operated as a distributor and stockist, gradually becoming an authorized channel partner for renowned Indian steel producers such as Jindal Pipes, Maharashtra Seamless, SAIL, and other reputed manufacturers.
Over the years, we expanded our product range from ERW mild steel pipes to ERW galvanized pipes, carbon steel and alloy steel seamless pipes, spiral welded pipes and square and rectangular hollow sections.
The journey from a local distributor to a national player was driven by our unwavering focus on quality, supported by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications. A major milestone was the diversification into export markets, marking our transition from a domestic leader to a global supplier of pipes and tubes supplying in major markets like USA, Canada, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Angola, Gaborone, Antigua, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Nepal, etc.
