The company is already engaged with the various potential customers and is at different stages of discussions with them for the supply of specialty gases.
Sharma expects the demand for specialty gases to grow multifold as he believes semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing cannot scale in India without a reliable, high-purity gas and chemical supply chain alongside it.
The company is building a specialty gases plant at GIDC Saykha, Dahej, Gujarat, to close that gap with domestic supply across India. It is also establishing electrolyser manufacturing unit in Valsad.
He added that the company was “quite well-funded” from parent for the new unit, and they are engaged with potential customers for supply management.
Sharma expects gasses storage to be operational from next quarter.
