An Indian manufacturer of steel pipes, PVC pipes, lighting products, electrical consumer durables, and household appliances.
Last updated August 22, 2026
Overview
Surya Roshni Limited is an Indian manufacturing company whose activities span steel products, plumbing materials, lighting, electrical consumer durables, and selected household appliances. The business began in 1973 when B.D. Agarwal established it as a tube-making unit. Its original industrial identity was therefore closely associated with steel tubing, but the company subsequently broadened its portfolio into consumer-facing electrical and home-related categories. The company’s steel business operates under the Surya Steel Pipes name. Its steel and pipe activities include manufacturing facilities in Bahadurgarh in Haryana, Bhuj in Gujarat, and Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh. The company also has a pipes and lighting facility at Shimoga in Karnataka. These operations give Surya Roshni a manufacturing footprint across several important Indian industrial regions rather than limiting production to a single site. Surya Roshni has also expanded beyond conventional steel products. Its electrical and consumer-durables portfolio includes LED lighting, fans, pumps, and household appliances. The lighting business includes LED products and is supported by facilities in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, and Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The company has additionally established a research and development centre for LED lighting in Uttarakhand, reflecting the importance of lighting technology within its broader product mix. A significant manufacturing expansion took place in Andhra Pradesh. Surya Roshni began commercial production on 1 March 2017 at a steel-pipe plant in the Hindupur industrial area. The facility represented an investment of ₹70 crore as reported in the reference material. This expansion added capacity in southern India and complemented the company’s existing steel and pipe network. The company is based in Delhi and serves the Indian market through a combination of industrial materials and branded consumer products. Its positioning is best understood as a diversified Indian manufacturer rather than a narrowly focused steel producer: steel pipes and related materials remain central to its industrial heritage, while lighting, fans, pumps, and household appliances extend the brand into residential and commercial use. Public reference material identifies Jai Prakash Agarwal, a Padma Shri award recipient, as the company’s chairman. Beyond the facilities and product categories described in the available references, detailed information about current management, overseas operations, financial performance, and recent corporate strategy is not established here.
History
Surya Roshni Limited was established in 1973 by B.D. Agarwal as a tube-making unit. Its early business was rooted in the manufacture of steel tubing, giving the company an industrial base in a category connected to construction, infrastructure, plumbing, and general engineering applications. Over time, the company developed into a more diversified manufacturer with operations extending beyond its original tube-making focus. The company’s steel division is identified as Surya Steel Pipes. Its manufacturing network includes steel plants in Bhuj, Gujarat; Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh; and Bahadurgarh, Haryana, the latter described in the reference material as its primary steel plant. Surya Roshni also operates a pipes and lighting production facility at Shimoga, Karnataka. This network reflects the company’s effort to combine steel and pipe production with geographically distributed manufacturing capacity in India. Surya Roshni expanded into lighting and electrical consumer durables as its business developed. The company manufactures LED lighting, fans, pumps, and household appliances, alongside plumbing products such as PVC pipes and steel products. Lighting production is associated with facilities in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, and Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The company has also established an LED-lighting research and development centre in Uttarakhand, adding an in-house technical capability to a segment increasingly shaped by LED technology. A notable later development was the construction of a steel-pipe plant in the Hindupur industrial area of Andhra Pradesh. Commercial production began on 1 March 2017, following a reported investment of ₹70 crore. The Hindupur operation extended Surya Roshni’s pipe-manufacturing presence into southern India and complemented facilities in northern, western, and central parts of the country. The company is headquartered in Delhi and is publicly listed under the ticker symbol SURYAROSHI. Its present identity combines an industrial materials business with branded electrical and household products. Steel pipes and related products remain connected to its historical foundation, while LED lighting, fans, pumps, PVC pipes, and appliances broaden the company’s relevance to homes, commercial premises, and infrastructure projects. The available reference identifies Jai Prakash Agarwal, who has received the Padma Shri, as chairman. Detailed information about the company’s founding ownership structure, subsequent leadership changes, financial performance, international sales, and current strategic priorities is not supplied by the available sources.
