Hi-Tech Pipes Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Kumar Bansal said, "In Q2 FY25, our total sales volumes increased by 22.50 % , reaching 1.23 lakh tonnes, driven by strong demand for steel tubes, structural steel products, and value-added products". However, its revenue from operations saw a 5.3 % decline due to the steep reduction in raw material prices, he added.
