The plant will cater to a wide range of industries, including:
Pharmaceuticals
Petrochemicals
Steel and metals
Ferro alloys
Chemicals
Glass
Engineering
The facility will support emerging applications in solar and semiconductor manufacturing.
Ultra-High-Purity Nitrogen for Advanced Applications
The new ASU can also be optimised to produce Ultra-High-Purity Liquid Nitrogen with 5N purity. This capability will support specialised requirements in solar and semiconductor manufacturing, where high-purity gases play an important role in production processes. By strengthening the regional supply of essential gases, INOXAP aims to support industrial expansion and contribute to Andhra Pradesh’s Swarna Andhra 2047 development vision.
