INOX Air Products (INOXAP) said on Monday that it is in advanced stages of planning to set up a speciality gas hub, which is essential for advanced semiconductor fabrication.
The company has already acquired a strategic land parcel in Dholera, Gujarat earlier this year, for construction of an Electronic Specialty Gas Hub which is currently in advanced stage of planning, INOXAP said.
“The upcoming Hub will manufacture and supply Ultra High Purity (UHP) bulk and specialty gases—including Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Hydrogen—essential for advanced semiconductor fabrication. Designed as both a production and fulfillment centre. The Hub will ensure reliable, contamination-free delivery to fabs and OSAT units across India,” it added.
INOXAP is a major producer of industrial and electronic gases.
This investment forms part of INOXAP’s ₹500 crore outlay to expand purification capacities, building import-linked supply chains for critical gases, and deploying advanced transport and packaging solutions.
The initiative reflects INOXAP’s long-term strategy to be an integral part of India’s high-tech ecosystem, enabling the next generation of semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of INOX Air Products, said “With the Hub, we are building the foundation for a self-reliant supply chain that can power the ambitions of global chipmakers and electronic manufacturers choosing India for setting up fabs. With a pan-India footprint, and decades of operational excellence, we are deploying the full breadth of our engineering and execution capabilities for creating a world-class infrastructure.”
Specialty and bulk gases play a vital role in semiconductor fabrication, enabling precision in etching, deposition, doping, and chamber cleaning. Their ultra-high purity is essential to wafer integrity, device performance, and fabrication yield.
INOXAP is already supporting the operational needs of India’s first semiconductor investment in Gujarat, underscoring its readiness to serve advanced fabrication facilities with ultra-high purity gases and contamination-free delivery systems.
INOXAP also operates 6 large Air Separation Units in Gujarat for manufacturing Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid Argon, servicing the industrial gas needs of multiple manufacturing sectors including semiconductors and solar cells.
With a robust national presence and access to global best practices through its partnership with Air Products, INOXAP is uniquely positioned to deliver the reliability, safety, and quality demanded by the world’s most advanced chipmakers.
