Air Products expands its presence in India; opens office in New Delhi
Air Products, one of the world leaders in industrial gases, announced the opening of an office in New Delhi. The Delhi office will be the hub for the company’s Business Development and Stakeholder Engagement activities. This expansion follows the opening of a new EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) center in Vadodara, Gujarat which began operations just over a year ago during the pandemic.
Dr. Samir J. Serhan, Chief Operating Officer, Air Products said, “India is a growth region for Air Products and plays a strategic role in the Company’s journey. We are very proud to invest in India and want to continue to grow our presence and develop strong relationships in the region; aligned with our goal to be the safest and most innovative industrial gas company in the world.”
Anand Chordia, Managing Director, Air Products India, said,” We are delighted to expand our footprint in India as we continue to grow in the region. A year back we opened our second EPC center in India and hired close to 400 highly skilled employees and we continue to hire in both Gujarat and Maharashtra. Since 2019, we have almost tripled our work force in India. Our EPC centers are focused on providing technology, engineering and project execution, for Air Products’ activities in India, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. Being centrally based in the capital city of New Delhi will aid our Business Development and Stakeholder Engagement efforts as the Company focusses on several investment opportunities in India on BOO (build, own, operate) model in the Gasification, Green Hydrogen and Hydrogen for Mobility (H2fM) space.”
With the opening of the New Delhi office, Air Products is now present in four states of India as it operates an EPC center and IT center in Pune, Maharashtra, an EPC center in Vadodara, Gujarat and a world scale Industrial Gas Complex at BPCL Kochi Refinery in Kochi, Kerala.
