INOX Air Products Private Limited (INOXAP) has commissioned an Ultra-High Purity (UHP) Liquid Oxygen plant in Hosur, marking a key development in strengthening India’s solar and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
The facility is designed to produce 6N grade (99.9999% purity) liquid oxygen, with a production capacity of 17 tonnes per day (TPD). This level of purity is critical for precision-driven applications in advanced industries such as solar cell and semiconductor manufacturing.
Strategically located in Hosur, a prominent industrial hub in South India, the plant is expected to serve emerging high-technology clusters with improved efficiency and reliability. The commissioning also represents a major step toward reducing India’s reliance on imports for ultra-high purity gases.
According to Siddharth Jain, the initiative aligns with the company’s vision of supporting India’s technological self-reliance by building domestic capabilities for future-focused industries. He noted that the facility will help ensure the availability of critical inputs required for high-end manufacturing sectors.
The development is particularly significant as Ultra-High Purity Liquid Oxygen was previously imported to meet domestic demand. With local production now in place, manufacturers are expected to benefit from reduced lead times, lower exposure to global supply chain disruptions, and improved operational continuity.
The plant underscores INOXAP’s strategic focus on investing in advanced industrial infrastructure to support India’s clean energy and electronics manufacturing ambitions, particularly in the rapidly growing solar sector.
