Union Minister for Jal Shakti, CR Patil, on 17 December, 2025, inaugurated Welspun World’s new Ductile Iron (DI) Pipe manufacturing facility in Anjar, Gujarat, marking a significant step in strengthening India’s water management capabilities. 

The plant, with a production capacity of 200 kilo tonne per annum, is part of a multi-crore brownfield expansion plan, increasing the company’s total capacity to 600 kilo metric tonnes annually. The extended project strengthens Welspun’s presence in the infrastructure and water management sectors. The new facility will support key government initiatives, including the Jal Shakti Abhiyan and Jal Jeevan Mission, as ductile iron pipes are used for water and sewage transport.

Minister Patil emphasised, “Through the Jal Shakti Abhiyan and the Jal Jeevan Mission, we are working tirelessly to ensure water security and provide safe and sufficient drinking water to every household.” With this inauguration, Welspun World has reinforced its role in India's infrastructure development, contributing to reliable and sustainable water solutions through world-class manufacturing, technology, and a sustainable approach.
