Godawari Power & Ispat Limited (GPIL) has achieved a significant milestone as its High-Tensile (HT) Steel Billets, conforming to IS 14650 standards, have received official approval from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL). The manufacturer approval, dated July 2, 2025, is valid until July 1, 2026.
This recognition marks a major breakthrough for GPIL, as the company is now authorized to supply its entire range of HT Steel Billets to all manufacturers involved in galvanized steel structures for PGCIL’s transmission projects. Earlier, GPIL’s steel billets (IS 14650 CPS 2062/E250A) had also received PGCIL approval in February 2025, which was duly communicated to stock exchanges.
With this latest approval, GPIL can now offer a complete range of galvanized steel structures at a competitive cost, significantly boosting its operational efficiency and reducing dependence on market-sourced billets, which were previously expensive and limited its offerings. The company is expected to see increased business volumes and improved profitability.
Notably, GPIL stands out as the only company in India capable of producing galvanized steel structures from iron ore to the final product, demonstrating both vertical integration and high-quality manufacturing standards comparable to top steel players in the country.
