Overview
Skipper Limited operates across three principal business verticals: an engineering products division that manufactures lattice steel transmission and telecom towers, monopoles, and related fabricated structures; a polymer division that produces PVC and CPVC pipes and fittings for plumbing, sanitation and agricultural applications; and an infrastructure or EPC division that undertakes the integrated supply, erection and stringing of transmission lines.
Engineering products
The engineering products business forms the company's core. Skipper supplies high-voltage transmission line towers, distribution poles, substation structures and tubular monopoles. The company has historically counted Power Grid Corporation of India and various state transmission utilities among its customers, and has also exported towers and structures to overseas markets.
Polymer division
Under its polymer business, Skipper manufactures pipes and fittings used in water supply, plumbing and irrigation. The branded product range targets retail plumbing channels as well as agricultural and industrial users.
Infrastructure and EPC
The infrastructure division executes turnkey transmission line projects, combining the company's in-house tower manufacturing capability with project services such as foundation work, erection, and stringing of conductors.
Significance
Skipper is among the larger Indian manufacturers of lattice transmission towers by capacity, and is part of the domestic supply base supporting India's electricity transmission network expansion. Its diversification into polymer pipes places it within the broader Indian building materials and agricultural inputs market.
