TPI: What does the product basket of Venus Pipes and Tubes contain? Also, mention the industries where your products find application.

Our extensive product range comprises stainless steel high precision & heat exchanger tubes, stainless steel hydraulic & instrumentation tubes, stainless steel seamless pipes, stainless steel welded pipes, and stainless steel LSAW pipes.
We are one of the few companies in the country producing welded pipes in the outside diameter range of up to 20 inches, and up to 8 inches seamless pipes. We manufacture stainless steel LSAW pipes in the outside diameter range of up to 56 inches with annealing, which is a rarity in India.

TPI: The government has been introducing various schemes for the ease of business. What regulations would you like the government to introduce in the future?
KSS: We believe policy-making is a completely government’s arena. The Union government has formulated many industry-friendly policies, which have aided the ease of business in the country. All markets across India are experiencing an upward growth trajectory. The manufacturing sector is growing at a fast pace and the trend is expected to continue in the future. 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.
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.
