INOX Air Products Private Limited (INOXAP), a leading manufacturer of industrial, medical, and electronic gases in India, has commissioned its first Ultra-High Purity (UHP) Liquid Oxygen facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The development represents a major step toward strengthening India’s capabilities in advanced manufacturing sectors such as semiconductors and solar energy.
The newly operational plant produces 6N grade liquid oxygen with a purity level of 99.9999 percent and a capacity of 17 tonnes per day. Designed to meet the exacting standards of high-technology industries, the facility will support semiconductor fabrication and photovoltaic manufacturing, where ultra-pure gases are essential for precision processes.
Located in Hosur, a prominent industrial hub in South India, the plant is strategically positioned to supply emerging technology clusters efficiently. Its proximity to manufacturing centres ensures faster delivery timelines and improved supply reliability for customers.
The commissioning marks a significant milestone in India’s effort to reduce dependence on imported critical materials. Until now, Ultra-High Purity Liquid Oxygen was largely sourced from international suppliers. By establishing domestic production capabilities, INOXAP is enabling a more resilient and self-reliant supply chain for key industries.
Company leadership emphasized that the investment aligns with India’s broader push toward technological self-sufficiency. The facility is expected to help manufacturers minimize delays, reduce exposure to global supply disruptions, and maintain continuity in production operations.
The plant’s ability to deliver 6N grade oxygen makes it particularly valuable for applications requiring extremely high levels of purity. In semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing, even trace impurities can impact product performance, making reliable access to such materials critical.
INOX Air Products operates a nationwide network with over 50 locations and a production capacity exceeding 6,000 tonnes per day of liquid gases. The company serves more than 1,800 customers across diverse industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and infrastructure.
Founded in 1963 and strengthened through a long-standing partnership with Air Products & Chemicals Inc, USA, INOXAP has played a key role in supporting India’s industrial growth. The commissioning of this facility reinforces its commitment to innovation, quality, and the development of future-ready infrastructure. As demand for advanced materials continues to grow, the company plans to expand its capabilities further, ensuring that critical inputs for next-generation industries are produced within India.
