Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (Modon) has signed an agreement with a venture of Saudi-based Buhur Investment Company and Indian industrial group Jindal Saw to establish a key manufacturing plant for Helically Spiral Welded (HSAW) pipes in the kingdom. 

Headquartered in New Delhi,  Jindal Saw is a specialist in the manufacture of longitudinal submerged arc welding (LSAW), ductile iron pipe (DI) and HSAW pipes in addition to pellets and seamless pipes.
