Hope you are doing well.

Indian markets have many listed companies from the Steel tubes and pipes industry and some like Surya RoshniRatnamani MetalsAPL Apollo have created immense wealth for their shareholders.

Recently, we were looking at Surya Roshni as the stock is down almost 60% from its peak price of 850 in Oct’21. We like searching for good companies going through a bad phase either in terms of their business performance or stock price.

While Surya is more famous for its lighting products; did you know that Steel tubes and Pipes segment accounted for 80% of its sales in FY 22 and 76% of its earnings before interest and taxes.

Overall, the numbers of the company look interesting and we therefore decided to dig deeper into the industry and have shared the details below:
