Sanjay Gupta, Chairman, APL Apollo, said: “The Q4FY24 performance was slightly weak as demand got impacted ahead of general elections and ongoing slowdown in retail spending.
The company had to offer extra discounts to its clients to push up sales volume. However, we are encouraged to see strong sales growth in our value-added product portfolio such as the heavy structural steel tubes and coated products.
After almost a year since its greenfield commissioning, the Raipur plant is set to enter a new phase of accelerated production while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency and reliability.
APL’s strategic expansion of its Dubai facility not only strengthens the company's global presence but also enhances its capacity to serve clients across international markets. The initial results are encouraging with good response from global steel tube distributors for APL Apollo's products.”
APL Apollo Tubes is India’s leading structural steel tube manufacturer. The company operates 11 manufacturing facilities with a total capacity of 5 million tons. The company’s multi-product offerings include over 2,500 varieties for multiple building material structural steel applications.
