06 Apr 2026 CW Team

INOX Air Products (INOXAP) has commissioned an Ultra-High Purity (UHP) liquid oxygen facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, aimed at strengthening domestic capabilities for semiconductor and solar manufacturing.

The plant produces 6N-grade (99.9999 per cent purity) liquid oxygen with a capacity of 17 TPD (500 Nm³/hr), catering to high-precision industrial applications. Strategically located in Hosur, the facility is positioned to serve emerging high-technology clusters in South India.

Siddharth Jain, Managing Director, INOXAP, said, “At INOXAP, we believe that true progress for India lies in building capabilities within the country that power its future industries. The commissioning of this Ultra-High Purity Liquid Oxygen facility is a step towards that vision. It aims to significantly reduce dependence on imports and strengthen the foundation of India’s semiconductor and solar manufacturing ecosystem. As the nation advances towards technological self-reliance, we remain committed to investing ahead of the demand curve, ensuring that critical enablers are available within India, for India.”

The development marks a shift from import dependence, with UHP liquid oxygen now being produced domestically for the first time. This is expected to improve supply reliability and reduce lead times for manufacturers.

The facility enhances India’s capability in high-purity gases, enabling improved production continuity and supporting growth in sunrise sectors such as electronics and photovoltaics.
