Linde Signs Agreements to De-captivate Two Air Separation Units and Expand Supply of Industrial Gases to Tata Steel Limited in India
Linde has signed agreements to acquire and operate two additional air separation units (ASUs) and expand industrial gas supply to Tata Steel in Odisha, India. The deal will more than double Linde's on-site capacity at Tata Steel's Kalinganagar facility, where it currently operates two plants. The new ASUs, expected to transfer in 2025, will supply oxygen, nitrogen, and argon to support Tata Steel's expansion project and serve the local merchant market. Linde has also secured renewable energy agreements to reduce Scope 2 emissions, aligning with its 2035 GHG reduction targets.
Linde ha firmato accordi per acquisire e gestire due ulteriori unità di separazione dell'aria (ASU) ed espandere la fornitura di gas industriale a Tata Steel in Odisha, India. L'accordo raddoppierà la capacità on-site di Linde presso l'impianto di Tata Steel a Kalinganagar, dove attualmente opera due impianti. Le nuove ASU, previste per il trasferimento nel 2025, forniranno ossigeno, azoto e argon per supportare il progetto di espansione di Tata Steel e servire il mercato locale. Linde ha anche ottenuto accordi per l'energia rinnovabile per ridurre le emissioni di Scope 2, in linea con i suoi obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra nel 2035.

Insights
This strategic expansion with Tata Steel represents a significant growth opportunity for Linde in India's rapidly developing industrial sector. The de-captivation of two ASUs and expanded supply agreement will more than double Linde's on-site capacity in the region, creating multiple revenue streams through both the long-term Tata Steel contract and merchant market sales.
The deal's structure aligns with Linde's asset-light strategy by acquiring already-under-construction facilities, reducing capital risk. The integration of renewable energy sources not only supports environmental goals but potentially provides cost advantages and ESG compliance. The expansion in Odisha, one of India's key industrial hubs, strengthens Linde's market position and network density, likely leading to operational synergies and increased market share.
The acquisition of these ASUs in Odisha's industrial cluster is strategically significant. By doubling capacity and securing a long-term supply agreement with a major steel producer, Linde gains important operational leverage in a high-growth region. The ability to serve both Tata Steel's expansion needs and the merchant market creates a robust dual revenue model.
The integration of renewable energy for plant operations positions Linde advantageously in India's evolving industrial landscape, where environmental compliance is increasingly important. This move strengthens Linde's competitive position in India's industrial gas market, particularly in the steel sector, while supporting the company's global sustainability initiatives.
