Welspun Corp shares plummeted over 8% following weak Q4 results. The company expects a revenue of ₹17,000 crore for the new financial year, which is 3.3% lower than the previous year.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is also anticipated to decline to ₹1,700 crore.

Despite a seeming 20% growth in net profit, attributed to lower finance costs and higher other income, the company’s order book for its Line Pipes, DI Pipes, and SS Bar & Pipes businesses stood at ₹6,100 crore, ₹2,741 crore, and ₹215 crore respectively at the end of FY2024.
