INOX Air Products, a joint venture between the INOX Group and Air Products (USA), is
one of the largest manufacturers of industrial gases in India with 36 plants spread throughout
the country.
To reinforce its leadership and to cater to the growing demand of industrial gas from the
manufacturing sector, INOX Air Products announced plans to invest more than Rs. 600 Cr.
across Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Puducherry, and Rajasthan.
INOX Air Products also inked a long term supply contract of industrial gases with Saint
Gobain Glass India (SGGI), for their upcoming float glass plant in Rajasthan, which is slated
to be one of the largest in the world.
INOX Air Products announced plans for a massive expansion in its capacities by adding four
air separation units (ASU) and liquefiers for the merchant market across India with an
investment of more than Rs 600 Cr. All the four new plants are scheduled to come on stream
during 2012 and will enhance INOX Air Products merchant capacity by about 60%.
We are market leaders in merchant industrial gases and this committed investment aligns our
supply chain with the consistently growing demand for industrial gases which is being fuelled
by the robust expansion in Indias manufacturing sector said Siddharth Jain, Director, INOX
Air Products. The investments will further strengthen INOX Air Products substantial
presence throughout India, augment our supply capabilities, enhance our customer focus and
reinforce our leadership position.
These four ASU and liquefier merchant plants that INOX Air products will build to produce
liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid argon, are strategically located in proximity of high
demand growth areas and spread across four states viz. Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat,
Puducherry, and Rajasthan.
INOX Air Products also marked its entry into the glass industry by inking a contract for long

A customer-focused approach was essential in gaining our business. Reliable supply is very
important to our project and we believe INOX Air Products industrial gas expertise will
deliver on our industrial gas needs, said Mr S.N. Eisenhower, Director - Operations at Saint
Gobain Glass India.
Over and above these four new facilities, INOX Air Products market presence in India

FRACING UNITS
35 | P a g e

Application in fracturing for oil & gas: Hydraulic fracturing is a method used to create
fracture that extend from a borehole into rock formations, which are typically maintained by
'proppant', a material like sand grain, which prevent the fractures from closing. Using Fracing
units, fluids are pumped with proppant at the right Pressure to create a fracture in a chosen
formation. This fracture becomes a conductive pathway for fluids into the well-bore,
increasing the well's productivity
