Sintex launches India’s first anti-microbial CPVC pipe in Chandigarh
Sintex extends its hallmark of trust, quality and innovation to water distribution through Pipes
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, September 10, 2025: Sintex by Welspun, India’s leading and most trusted manufacturer of quality water storage solutions, today announced the launch of India’s first anti-microbial CPVC pipes in Chandigarh, reinforcing its 50-year legacy in water storage and marking a strategic expansion into the water distribution segment.
Sintex has launched a full range of pipes – CPVC, UPVC, SWR (Soil, Waste and Rainwater), Reclaim, Agri, Underground Drainage & Surface Drainage pipes and fittings. These pipes are designed to efficiently manage hot and cold water, greywater, and blackwater fulfilling all plumbing needs.
Notably, the SWR and Underground Drainage pipes come with anti-rodent properties, ensuring enhanced durability and protection.
Chandigarh stands as Sintex’s No. 1 priority market, achieving strong double-digit year-on-year growth. With this strategic entry, Sintex aims to address India’s evolving infrastructure needs through innovation, quality and health-first engineering.
These pipes are engineered to the highest standards of durability and quality, with an enhanced focus on health and hygiene. Designed to protect what matters most—ensuring healthier homes and safer water for every family. Thus far, Sintex has introduced its pipes in the states of Chhattisgarh and Punjab.
Powered by the Sintex Advantage NXT, the new range of CPVC & UPVC pipes will be anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-algae — making it ideal for households, agricultural, and institutional applications.
The anti-microbial formulation ensures that water stays cleaner and safer as it moves through the system — a critical factor in India’s tropical and high-humidity regions. Sintex CPVC pipes offer a hygienic and durable solution for clean water delivery across homes, farms, residential buildings, and industries—ensuring health and safety at every touch point.
Sintex acquired 100% stake in Weetek Plastics for INR 85 crore in October 2024. Weetek Plastics’ facility in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, has an annual production capacity of 19,000 metric tons. This strategic move is aimed at accelerating Sintex’s entry into the rapidly growing plastic pipes market in India.
India’s pipe industry is expected to be INR 1.3 lakh crore by FY30 and is growing at a fast pace. However, research indicates that nearly 60% of the market remains unorganized, dominated by low-quality, unbranded recycled pipes. Thus an unorganized market represents a unique opportunity for Sintex to lead through quality, innovation and reliability.
Chandigarh, a key city under the Government of India’s Smart City Mission, will now benefit from India’s first anti-microbial CPVC pipes—meeting the rising demand for safe, hygienic, and efficient water distribution system. Chandigarh is now the next state to benefit from Sintex’s transformation into a fully integrated water solutions brand as it expands into the water distribution segment.
Yashovardhan Agarwal, Managing Director, Welspun BAPL Ltd and Director, Sintex said, “For close to 50 years, Sintex has pioneered ‘safe and reliable’ water storage across millions of Indian households. With the launch of Sintex CPVC Pipes in Chandigarh, we are taking the next step towards addressing the water distribution challenge with the same standard of quality and innovation. Launching India’s first anti-microbial CPVC pipes is not just about entering a new category — it’s about expanding our water story and delivering a holistic, health-led water management solution.”
Mr. Yashovardhan Agarwal, further said, “As the government scales national programs like Jal Jeevan Mission, AMRUT 2.0, and Smart Cities Mission, the need for quality-first, safer and durable piping solutions is expected to rise sharply — especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Sintex’s product roadmap is aligned with these missions, offering not only long-term value but also an assurance of safety, efficiency, and minimal maintenance.”
