Man Industries Greenlights Rs 300 Crore Fundraising Plan to Fuel Growth Ambitions
Man Industries (India) Limited, a leading manufacturer of large diameter carbon steel pipes, has announced a major development that signals its intent to scale operations and reinforce its financial position. On June 3, 2025, the company’s board approved a proposal to raise up to Rs 300 crore through preferential allotment of equity shares. This strategic move aligns with the company’s broader vision to fund growth opportunities and strengthen its balance sheet.
The fundraising will be conducted through the issuance of equity shares or convertible instruments on a preferential basis, subject to shareholder approval and other regulatory clearances. While specific details regarding investor names or pricing have not been disclosed, the announcement marks a crucial milestone in the company’s capital raising strategy.
Why It Matters
The capital infusion is expected to support a wide range of strategic objectives, including:
Expansion of manufacturing capacity: Man Industries is a key player in the infrastructure and oil & gas sectors, catering to both domestic and international pipeline projects. Fresh funds could help the company enhance production capabilities at its facilities in Anjar (Gujarat) and Pithampur (Madhya Pradesh).
Working capital needs: With a robust order book and growing tender participation across India and the Middle East, the additional capital could improve liquidity for day-to-day operations and project execution.
Debt reduction: Although the company has maintained relatively stable debt levels, a portion of the ?300 crore may also be used to pare down borrowings and reduce interest burdens.
Company Background
Man Industries is part of the Man Group, and has been at the forefront of India’s pipe manufacturing ecosystem for decades. The company manufactures longitudinal submerged arc welded (LSAW) and helically submerged arc welded (HSAW) pipes used in high-pressure transportation of oil, gas, and water.
With its exports spanning regions like the USA, Middle East, and Africa, the company has carved a strong position as a reliable global supplier. It also actively contributes to domestic pipeline projects like the National Gas Grid and city gas distribution infrastructure.
Recent Performance & Order Book
In FY24–25, Man Industries reported a strong performance, backed by a healthy order book and capacity utilization. The company has consistently bagged orders from oil marketing companies, EPC players, and state infrastructure agencies. As of May 2025, its order book was over Rs 2,000 crore, reflecting robust demand visibility.
This capital raise is seen as timely, especially as India’s infrastructure push under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and Gati Shakti initiatives continues to boost long-term demand for industrial-grade pipes.
Strategic Outlook
By opting for a preferential allotment route, Man Industries is bringing in long-term strategic investors who could add not just capital but also credibility to its growth narrative. The fundraising plan comes at a time when the industry is witnessing higher capital expenditure from oil & gas majors, pipeline developers, and infrastructure funds.
With rising demand across domestic and export markets, this Rs 300 crore capital raise positions the company to scale effectively, invest in new technologies, and compete in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
