What Asian Group does

Asian Group of Companies is a privately-held Indian steel manufacturing conglomerate founded in 1986 by promoters Shri O.P Agarwal and Shri B.L Agarwal and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The group employs 501-1000 people and operates four wholly-owned subsidiaries — Asian Tubes Ltd., Asian Mills Pvt. Ltd., Asian Tubes Ltd-CR Division, and Narmada Tubes Pvt Ltd — with manufacturing facilities at Kadi (Mehsana), Kalol (Gandhinagar), Chhatral, and Vadodara. Its product portfolio covers Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Black & Galvanized pipes in round, square, and rectangular profiles, Cold Rolled Close Annealed (CRCA) coils and sheets, Galvanized Plain/Galvalume (GP/GC) coils and sheets marketed under the Asian Virat brand, and Submerged Arc Welded (SAW) pipes marketed under the Narmada brand.

Underlying manufacturing technology spans ERW pipe production, hot-dip galvanizing, cold rolling and close annealing (CRCA), and submerged arc welding for large-diameter pipes. The group serves enterprise and government customers across construction and infrastructure (L&T, NCC, Gammon, Ramky), power (NTPC, BHEL), oil & gas (ONGC), water supply (Gujarat Water Supply), and agriculture (IFFCO), with application coverage extending to structural frameworks, municipal water pipelines, automotive body panels, solar mounting structures, fencing, and long-distance oil and gas pipelines. Geographic reach covers the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East via direct export alongside domestic distribution.

Revenue flows from one-time product sales across three streams — steel pipe manufacturing (Asian Tubes Ltd brand), steel coil and sheet sales (including Asian Virat for roofing and cladding), and SAW pipe sales (Narmada brand) for oil & gas and infrastructure projects. Go-to-market combines direct factory sales for enterprise and export accounts with an India-wide dealer network recruited through a 'Become a Dealer' program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage via the Ahmedabad sales office, website enquiry forms, phone, or WhatsApp. The company is promoter-controlled with no institutional investor, PE backing, public listing, or disclosed revenue figure.
