Jindal SAW Ltd. is setting up a seamless pipe manufacturing facility with an annual capacity of 300,000 tonnes in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with completion targeted for 2027. The plant will be developed through the company’s UAE subsidiary on a 400,000-square-metre site at ICAD-II, Musaffah.
The facility will use Precision Quality Finishing (PQF) rolling technology to manufacture line pipes, oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and drill pipes, primarily for the energy sector. According to the company, it will be the UAE’s first seamless pipe manufacturing facility based on PQF technology and the second of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The project is intended to strengthen Jindal SAW’s manufacturing presence in the region and serve demand from the oil and gas industry through local production. The investment amount has not been disclosed in the latest announcement.
Commenting on the company’s expansion plans, Sminu Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal SAW, said, “As we develop these projects, our priority remains disciplined execution and lasting commercial relationships built on accountability, engineering expertise and a clear understanding of what customers need from their manufacturing partners.”
Jindal SAW already operates Jindal SAW Gulf LLC in Abu Dhabi, which manufactures ductile iron pipes for water transmission and distribution, with an annual production capacity of 350,000 tonnes. The company’s specialised energy portfolio also includes Jindal Hunting Energy Services Ltd., an Indian joint venture with Hunting Energy Services Pte. Ltd., which supplies premium-connection casing and tubing using proprietary technologies.
