The market size of industrial gases in India was valued at USD 120 crores in 2023. The demand has been increasing at a CAGR of 6% over the last five years, driven by rapid industrialisation and infrastructure development, a growing emphasis on hydrogen as a clean energy source, and innovations in gas production, storage, and distribution that enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Individually, demand for gases like hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, CO2 in urea production and CO2 in refineries has grown over the years as per the growing needs of different industries like steel, food packaging, beverage, health, automotive, etc.
In terms of volume, the Indian industrial gases market grew from 0.96 crore tons in 2018 to 1.14 crore tons in 2023. The industrial gases market is projected to reach 14.1 crore tonnes by 2028.
Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases Limited manufactures a wide variety of industrial gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and acetylene, through which they service a diverse set of industries, with their products finding use in shipbuilding, glass manufacturing, steel manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, welding, fabrication, among others, making their consistent supply important to different industries. (Source: F&S Report) They have also been able to cater to the specific requirements of industries such as steel, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, healthcare, engineering and infrastructure, railways, aviation, aerospace and space, petrochemicals, food and beverages, energy, electronics, manufacturing, defence, through use cases.
They operate eight facilities across East, South and Central India, of which four facilities are located in West Bengal, two in Andhra Pradesh, one in Telangana and one in Chhattisgarh, as of March 31, 2024.
Leading manufacturer of industrial gases, well positioned to capitalise on industry tailwinds.
The company has a long operating history, having commenced their operations in 1973. They are today the largest 100% Indian-owned industrial gases company in terms of installed manufacturing capacity as of March 31, 2024, and revenues in fiscal 2024. (Source: F&S Report) They are one of the oldest operating industrial gases companies in India, with a rich legacy of over 50 years. They are one of the largest manufacturers of industrial gases in East India and South India, and a market leader in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, in terms of installed manufacturing capacity, as of March 31, 2024. (Source: F&S Report)
Comprehensive product portfolio, catering to diverse end-use industries.
They manufacture a wide variety of industrial gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and acetylene. They are used in ship building, glass manufacturing, steel manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, welding, and fabrication, among others, rendering their consistent supply critical to different industries. (Source: F&S Report)Their experience in supplying medical oxygen enables them to comply with technical specifications of their customers and applicable regulations. They supply various gases, including nitrogen, to large oil and gas companies across multiple locations, as nitrogen is used to increase well pressure for better quantity of oil during oil exploration.
Further, they offer niche products such as synthetic air, which is a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, produced by controlled, homogenised mixing and is used as zero gas in the running and calibration of test and lab equipment for environmental monitoring, owing to its limited impurities.
Long-standing customer relationships leading to stable cashflows
Their bulk customers demonstrate stickiness, as the infrastructure used to unload and store liquefied gas at the customer's facilities is owned by them and cannot be used by competing suppliers. Replacing infrastructure at bulk customers' facilities requires regulatory approvals from Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in addition to creating interruptions in the supply of gases, and requiring capital expenditure. As of March 31, 2024, they had 295 bulk customers, with an average contractual tenure of five years, with the possibility of renewal on mutually agreed terms.
Diversified customer base, minimising concentration risks
They have established relationships with several Indian customers across industries through over fifty years of business operations. In fiscal 2024, they sold their products to 1,836 customers, which represented one of the highest number of customers of any gas company in India, indicating a highly diversified customer base with limited concentration risk.
Their business and the demand for their products is dependent on the demand for certain end-use industries, and any decline in the demand for the end-products in such industries could have an adverse impact on their business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Four of their eight facilities are located in West Bengal. Any adverse developments in the region could impact their manufacturing operations, and consequently, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Their facilities rely on an adequate and uninterrupted supply of electricity, fuel, and water. Any shortage or disruption in electricity, fuel, or water supply may lead to disruption in operations, higher operating costs, and a consequent decline in operating margins.
