After a challenging FY25 and a subdued start to FY26, the domestic pipes sector appears to be at the cusp of recovery. With DGTR’s recommendation on implementing Anti-Dumping Duty and PVC prices stabilizing at bottom levels, a gradual price uptick is expected. Coupled with an improving demand environment, these factors are set to drive a gradual rebound from Q2 FY26 onwards.

Motilal Oswal Report
Though Q1 FY26 was weighed down by weak macros, muted demand, and inventory losses from PVC volatility, we expect the PVC pipes industry to see a gradual recovery from Q2 FY26 (on a low base), with a further pickup in momentum from H2 FY26.
This will be supported by improving PVC prices (with the implementation of anti dumping duty), leading to channel restocking, a pickup in government infrastructure push, and improving housing demand.
Additionally, companies across the sector are signaling a healthy recovery in volumes from Jul-Aug’25 and retaining their FY26 guidance with double-digit volume growth.
We reiterate our Buy rating on Supreme Industries (target price: Rs 5,350), Astral (target price: 1,650), and Prince Pipes (target price: Rs 440).
