INOX Air Products Private Limited (INOXAP) has commissioned a 280 tonnes per day (TPD) high-purity, fully automated cryogenic Air Separation Unit (ASU) at Tata Steel Limited’s greenfield Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)-based steel manufacturing facility at Ludhiana, Punjab. The plant is engineered to deliver uninterrupted, on-site supply of Gaseous Oxygen, Gaseous Nitrogen, and Gaseous Argon – mission-critical gases required for high-grade steel production.

The commissioning of this ASU intends to strengthen INOXAP’s operational presence and liquid gas distribution footprint across northern India for Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon. By leveraging the plant’s capacity, INOXAP will be able to serve its industrial customers across the northern states through tanker supplies, reducing supply lead times and reinforcing localised gas supply chains for the region’s manufacturing ecosystem.
