Key Growth Strategies

Capacity Expansion:

The company commissioned the Kuthrel facility in FY25, focusing on high-margin products such as GP coils, GP pipes, stainless steel HRAP coils, and stainless steel CR coils. Under brownfield expansion, GP coil capacity has doubled from 58,000 MTPA to 116,000 MTPA. Expansion of stainless steel CR coil capacity from 58,000 MTPA to 116,000 MTPA is ongoing, with Consent to Establish (CTE) received.

Sambhv plans to commission a greenfield facility at Kesda, targeting 1.20 MMTPA of finished products in phases. Phase I is expected to be operational in FY27, with environmental clearance already obtained and execution underway.

Distribution Network Expansion:

The company is expanding its reach across new states while deepening penetration in existing markets to improve product availability. Distributor strength will be increased to access a larger pool of dealers, retailers, and fabricators. GP pipe supplies have commenced to address rising demand, particularly in coastal regions. Planned distributor expansion includes Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra, and other states and UTs. Sambhv is also targeting international markets, leveraging its expertise in ERW GI and GP pipes and tubes.

Value-Added Products and Customization:

The company continues to develop value-added and customized products to cater to evolving customer requirements. Production of SS HRAP coils, SS CR coils, CRFH pipes, GP coils, and GP pipes commenced in FY25. These products expand Sambhv’s end-use exposure to sectors such as infrastructure, construction, telecommunications, plumbing, irrigation, firefighting systems, fencing, poles, and signage supports.

Cost Optimization Initiatives:

Enhanced machining capabilities, automation, and adherence to high quality standards are improving operational efficiency. Advanced technology adopted for GP coils and pipes enables lower zinc consumption, resulting in cost savings. The company is evaluating the establishment of a captive power plant to meet residual power needs at the Sarora and Kuthrel plants, reducing reliance on external power sources.

Brand Building and Market Engagement:

Sambhv continues to invest in branding through electronic media, outdoor advertising, digital platforms, and print media to enhance visibility. The company conducts personalized outreach programs, including informal interactions such as “Chai Pe Charcha” with fabricators and retailers. Regular formal meetings are held with distributors, dealers, and retailers. Active participation in domestic and international trade fairs and exhibitions supports customer engagement and market intelligence gathering.
