We primarily supply to the automotive sector, along with the engineering, energy and infrastructure industries. Our focus has always been on quality, consistency and customer satisfaction.

TPI: It has been a year since Indipower acquired the tube business of Caparo Engineering India Ltd. What have been the key milestones achieved since the acquisition, and what does the company’s growth roadmap look like?
