INOX AP to build nitrogen plant for ReNew PV facility in Dholera

INOX Air Products will set up an air separation unit at ReNew Photovoltaics’ facility in Dholera to produce nitrogen for PV cell manufacturing. The gas is used to maintain an inert environment that protects cells from oxidation and contamination during production.

The company said the new unit shows its confidence in India’s potential to grow as a center for advanced and sustainable manufacturing. Diganta Sarma, Head of Business Development and Strategy at INOX AP, said the investment reflects the firm’s long term view of the sector.

Operations are planned to start by the end of 2026. The project adds to a series of recent steps by INOX AP that focus on India’s solar cell industry. Earlier this month, the company signed an agreement to supply nitrogen to a new 3 GW solar PV cell plant in Madhya Pradesh.
