APL Apollo Tubes Records Highest-Ever Quarterly Sales Volume at 963,143 Tonnes

APL Apollo Tubes has reported its highest-ever quarterly sales volume, with the structural steel tube manufacturer selling 963,143 tonnes in the Second Quarter of Financial Year 2026–27. The figure marks a 13% year-on-year increase and a 29% rise compared with the previous quarter.

The latest performance also surpassed the company’s previous quarterly sales record of 924,881 tonnes, recorded in the Fourth Quarter of Financial Year 2025–26.

For the first half of the current financial year, APL Apollo Tubes recorded total sales of 1,707,966 tonnes, representing a 4% increase from the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

The company’s product-wise performance showed continued demand across its key categories. The APL Apollo brand accounted for 774,751 tonnes during the Second Quarter of Financial Year 2026–27. Roofing products contributed 135,255 tonnes, while the SG Premium brand recorded sales of 26,910 tonnes.

The company’s operations in the United Arab Emirates also contributed 26,227 tonnes during the quarter.

The sharp sequential increase comes after a weaker first quarter, when sales volumes had declined year-on-year. The latest figures indicate a recovery in volumes across the company’s structural steel tube and related product portfolio.

APL Apollo Tubes has been expanding its presence in value-added structural steel products used across construction, infrastructure, industrial and other applications. The company has also been working on expanding its production capacity, with its broader capacity roadmap aimed at supporting future volume growth.

The company’s Second Quarter performance comes as demand for structural steel products continues to be linked to construction activity, infrastructure development and industrial projects. Its roofing products also recorded a notable increase compared with the year-ago period.

The company’s reported quarterly volume growth of 13% remains below its longer-term structural growth target of 15–20% for the financial year. However, the 29% sequential increase represents a significant improvement from the volume recorded in the First Quarter.

With the latest sales update, the focus will now shift to the company’s financial results, particularly revenue, EBITDA per tonne and margins. Changes in steel prices, demand conditions and capacity utilisation are also expected to remain important factors for the company’s performance during the remainder of the financial year.
