Essar Steel on Thursday said he has received orders from two clients based in the Middle East and Africa for API-grade steel pipe worth Rs 4 billion ($71.9 million).
The first order received in Africa is for 4,000 tones of offshore line pipe which will be used in a Chevron project.
Whereas the order from the Middle Eastern client is for 45,000 tones of size 48-inch high-grade coated pipe to be supplied in the coming quarter, a release from the company said.
This takes the company's total input order of its pipe mill to Rs 10 billion.
The current capacity of Essar Steel's pipe mill is 600,000 ton per year, which consists of 275,000 ton per year of API-grade helical submerged arc welding line pipe and 325,000 ton per year of API-grade longitudinal submerged arc welding line pipe.
The company operates the fourth-largest single location flat steel plant in the world at Hazira Complex, Gujarat with an annual capacity of 14 million ton per year.
