INOX Air Products (INOXAP) entered into a long-term partnership with Grew Energy to supply ultra-high purity (UHP) nitrogen for its upcoming 3 gigawatt (GW) Solar PV Cell manufacturing facility in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh. The agreement strengthens the clean energy manufacturing ecosystem and supports India’s solar expansion goals.
Dedicated Pipeline Network to Ensure Continuous Supply
As part of the deal, INOXAP will make significant investments to develop a dedicated pipeline network from its existing Air Separation Unit (ASU) in Narmadapuram. This infrastructure will ensure reliable, round-the-clock nitrogen supply tailored to the precision needs of Grew Energy’s solar PV cell production.
Supporting India’s Clean Energy and Manufacturing Push
The partnership underscores both companies’ shared commitment to building a stronger and self-reliant clean energy ecosystem. Apart from meeting Grew Energy’s high-purity gas requirements, the collaboration will also boost the region’s industrial infrastructure. Grew Energy’s 3 GW Solar PV Cell manufacturing facility is expected to begin operations in early 2026, in line with its scheduled commissioning timeline.
