APL Apollo posts record Q3 volumes, sales rise 11% YoY on strong demand

APL Apollo Tubes Ltd

reported its highest-ever quarterly sales volume, signaling sustained demand momentum in the structural steel and building materials space, the company announced on Thursday, January 1.

In an exchange filing, the company said Q3FY26 sales volumes rose to 9,16,976 tonnes, up 11% year-on-year from 828,200 tonnes in the year-ago quarter and 7% sequentially from 8,55,037 tonnes in Q2FY26.

For the nine months ended December, APL Apollo reported sales volumes of 2.57 million tonnes, marking an 11% growth over the same period last year, as infrastructure activity, housing demand and industrial consumption remained supportive.

Growth was broad-based across product categories. Volumes in the company’s core general structural tubes rose to 3,92,136 tonnes in Q3, while its Apollo Z rust-proof range, a key value-added segment, clocked 1,99,208 tonnes during the quarter, up sharply from 1,65,635 tonnes a year earlier.

Coated products and agri/industrial galvanised tubes also saw healthy growth, indicating continued traction across both urban and rural markets.

APL Apollo said the strong performance reflects steady demand from infrastructure, real estate, rural housing and industrial applications, aided by its expanding distribution network and rising share of branded steel products.

With a manufacturing capacity of 4.5 million tonnes spread across 11 plants in India and overseas, the company has been focusing on scaling volumes, improving product mix and deepening penetration of value-added offerings.

Shares of APL Apollo Tubes gained following the announcement and were trading 2.36% up at 1,959.20 as of 12.55 pm on Thursday.
