About Astral

History

In 1996, Astral Poly Technik Limited was established by Sandeep Engineer and later became popularly known as Astral Pipes. Initially, the company entered the market by introducing industrial CPVC pipes in India through a licensing agreement for CPVC resin procurement technology from Lubrizol. However, within three years, they shifted their focus to the plumbing sector, where CPVC pipes gained more popularity than galvanised iron (GI) pipes.

Subsequently, in 2004, the company started offering lead-free polyvinyl chloride pressure pipes. Over the following years, they expanded their portfolio into various areas, including fire sprinkler systems, soil, waste, rainwater (SWR) pipes, underground pipes, and related sectors.

In 2007, Astral Pipes became a publicly traded company, with its shares listed on the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange.

The company’s foray into the agricultural market began in 2013 with the introduction of PVC pipes. In 2016, Astral Pipes terminated its partnership with Lubrizol to produce CPVC pipes and initiated operations at its own CPVC compounding facility in Santej, Gujarat, in collaboration with Sekisui Chemical.

In 2017, Astral Pipes gained international attention for releasing a direct-to-digital advertisement as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission. The ad focused on raising awareness about open defecation in India and its connection to women’s safety and gender-based violence.

As of March 31, 2023, Astral Pipes boasted a total manufacturing capacity of 4,27,611 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) for both pipes and water tanks. Their manufacturing facilities are located in various states across India, including Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and Odisha. Additionally, Astral Pipes has adhesive manufacturing facilities set up in Santej (Gujarat), Unnao, and Rania (Uttar Pradesh), as well as operations in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The company has a diverse distribution network of over 1,93,000 dealers, 2.778 distributors, and 38 depots nationwide.
