- Linde India Limited, a leading industrial gases and engineering company and a subsidiary of Linde plc, manufactures and supplies a comprehensive portfolio of industrial, medical and specialty gases including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, xenon and krypton; provides on-site pipeline gases to large-scale industries such as primary steel, glass and chemicals, merchant bulk liquefied gases via cryogenic tankers to medium-scale customers across various sectors, and packaged compressed gases in cylinders for smaller applications in fabrication, manufacturing and construction; and operates a Project Engineering Division that designs, supplies, installs and commissions tonnage air separation units, nitrogen plants, pressure swing adsorption plants, gas distribution systems and cryogenic vessels for in-house use and third-party sales. The company maintains over 35 operating facilities and strategically located cylinder bottling units across India, supported by a national distribution network and fleet of cryogenic bulk tankers, serving end markets including metals, chemicals, automobiles, electronics, food and beverage, healthcare and manufacturing. Founded in 1935 and headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, Linde India Limited benefits from its parent's global expertise following the 2018 merger of Linde AG and Praxair Inc., with Linde plc holding a 75% stake. In recent developments, the company signed agreements in October 2024 to de-captivate two large air separation units under construction at Tata Steel Limited's Kalinganagar facility in Odisha, more than doubling on-site capacity with transfer expected in 2025, alongside a long-term supply contract for oxygen, nitrogen and argon to support Tata Steel's expansion and renewable energy agreements to reduce Scope 2 emissions. These initiatives enhance network density in key industrial clusters and align with strategic growth in sustainable industrial gas supply.
