Welspun Corp receives $5.5 billion pipeline order in the US; order book reaches record high

Welspun Corp announced it secured a major order worth approximately 5,500 crore rupees from a significant American company operating in the midstream oil and gas sector. This order involves supplying coated lined pipes for a gas pipeline that will serve a complex of data centers.

According to a report filed with the stock exchange on Friday, this contract increased Welspun's global order book to a record $5.25 billion (equivalent to approximately 50,000 crore rupees), marking the highest figure in the company's history.

The specific order was won by Welspun Tubular LLC in the US and will be executed at its American facility during the 2028–2029 fiscal year (FY29). The pipeline is intended to supply gas to the main client—a complex of data centers managed by one of the world's leading hyperscalers.

This development links Welspun's pipeline activities to the growing demand for energy infrastructure required to support the expansion of AI-managed data centers. The company did not disclose the client's identity or the pipeline's capacity.

The latest contract continues a series of major wins for the company in recent months. In September, the American subsidiary secured an order worth approximately $412.5 million for high-frequency induction welded pipes, which will be manufactured at the upgraded facility in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Previously, in August, the company announced its largest ever order, valued at approximately $1.8 billion, for the supply of pipes from its US manufacturing plant. This order is scheduled for execution during FY28 and FY29, reflecting the scale of the need for pipeline infrastructure in the US market.
