The company explained that the plant would provide Tata Steel with a stable supply of industrial gases while also supplying the liquefied by-products to merchant customers in Eastern and Northern India, where demand is strong. This initiative is expected to accelerate the growth of its industrial gas business in the country.

Air Water India noted that Tata Steel, one of India's largest steel manufacturers and a core company of the Tata Group, has been a long-standing partner. The subsidiary currently operates three other onsite gas plants at the same Jamshedpur facility, having supplied gases there continuously since 2019. The company added that its sales capabilities and strong presence as an industrial gas manufacturer in the Indian market were highly valued by Tata Steel, which led to the awarding of this project as the fourth onsite plant.

Going forward, the Air Water Group stated it would continue to leverage its comprehensive capabilities to enhance safe and stable operations while expanding and strengthening its gas production and distribution infrastructure throughout India.
