The air separation unit (ASU) owned by Praxair India, a Linde affiliate, has commenced operations in Patancheru, Hyderabad. 250 tonnes of various gases, including liquid medical oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, can be produced at this facility per day.

As reported by business line, these gases will serve the needs of healthcare, pharmaceutical, and various other industrial sectors in the region. The construction of this ASU was successfully accomplished in a span of eighteen months, commencing in April 2022, following Linde’s receipt of formal approval from the Government of Telangana.

“The new Hyderabad ASU provides us with a manufacturing base in the key market of Telangana and will reduce dependency on supply from other states,” RC Kaushik, Head of Sales, Healthcare & AT, Linde India said.
