Meanwhile, last month, Welspun Corp's associate firm, East Pipes Integrated Company for Industry, and Saudi Arabia's oil giant Aramco mutually terminated a contract Rs 3.39 billion ($40.6 million).
Welspun's unit had bagged the contract for manufacturing and supply of steel pipes for a duration of eight months in January.
The deal represented 3 per cent of the total value of contracts announced by Aramco for Welspun in the financial year 2023-24, which amounts to about Rs 98 billion.
Welspun did not disclose the reason for the cancellation of the contract, but said it would not affect its operating plans.
