Builds capability to offer multiple specialty gases in large packages to solar industry from a dedicated PESO-approved facility
The warehouse would offer safe storage and prompt supplies of high-purity gases that are indispensable in solar photovoltaic cell production
Chennai, 3rd February 2026: INOX Air Products Private Limited (INOXAP), one of India’s leading manufacturers of industrial, electronic and medical gases, has created a milestone by commissioning a PESO-licensed large package warehouse for specialty gases, at Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. The newly licensed facility is authorised to store critical gases including Nitrous Oxide and Silane in tube trailers, and Hydrogen mixtures in y-toners, for exclusively catering to the consistent and large-quantity requirements of India`s solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing ecosystem. This approval from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) marks a significant step towards safety, regulatory compliance and operational capability within India’s industrial gases sector.
For INOXAP’s customers, particularly solar manufacturers, the facility provides an advantage in supply assurance and operational agility for gases. By maintaining substantial on-site inventories of mission-critical gases, INOXAP will be able to significantly reduce import lead times, minimise global supply disruptions and enhance production continuity. This further translates into improved operational efficiency and greater supply chain resilience for partners, supporting both capacity expansion and India’s solar energy objectives.
Speaking on this milestone, Siddharth Jain, Managing Director, INOX Air Products, said “This milestone marks a significant step in building India’s self-reliant solar energy ecosystem.
