INOX Air Products Private Limited (INOXAP), one of India’s leading manufacturers of industrial, electronic and medical gases, has [commissioned a 280 tonnes per day (“TPD”) high-purity, fully automated cryogenic Air Separation Unit (“ASU”) at Tata Steel Limited’s greenfield Electric Arc Furnace (“EAF”)-based steel manufacturing facility at Ludhiana, Punjab. The plant is engineered to deliver uninterrupted, on-site supply of Gaseous Oxygen, Gaseous Nitrogen and Gaseous Argon; mission-critical gases required for high-grade steel production.
The commissioning of this ASU intends to strengthen INOXAP’s operational presence and liquid gas distribution footprint across northern India for Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon. By leveraging the plant’s capacity, INOXAP will be able to serve its industrial customers across the northern states through tanker supplies, reducing supply lead times and reinforcing localised gas supply chains for the region’s manufacturing ecosystem.
Speaking on this milestone, Siddharth Jain, Managing Director – INOX Air Products, said, “The commissioning of this 280 TPD cryogenic ASU is a proud milestone for INOXAP, both in terms of our engineering capabilities and our commitment to enabling some of India’s most ambitious industrial projects. By ensuring an uninterrupted, high-purity gas supply for this landmark EAF facility, we aim to directly contribute to a model of steel manufacturing that is cleaner, smarter and more sustainable. Simultaneously, this ASU intends to open up a strategic gateway for liquid gas distribution across northern India, enabling INOXAP to serve a wider industrial customer base across the region. We remain deeply committed to building the gas supply infrastructure that powers India’s manufacturing future.”
With this deployment, INOXAP further strengthens its position as one of the preferred industrial gas partners for India’s transformative manufacturing projects, including the Steel Industry, reinforcing its track record of building large-scale, technology-driven gas supply infrastructure that drives value across industries and geographies.
