Waaree Clean Energy Solutions (WCES), a wholly owned subsidiary of Waaree Energies, has expanded into India’s specialty gases market to supply ultra-high-purity (UHP) gases and chemicals to semiconductor and solar cell manufacturers.
The company announced the expansion stating that it aims to establish a pan-India specialty gases business to support the growing solar cell manufacturing and domestic semiconductor ecosystem.
WCES’s new specialty gases plant is being built at GIDC Saykha, Dahej, Gujarat.The project will address the dependence of India’s advanced manufacturing and semiconductor sectors on imported high-purity process gases and chemicals.
“Semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing cannot scale in India without a reliable, high-purity gas and chemical supply chain alongside it,” said Anuj Sharma, CEO, WCES.
As per a statement by the company, the new business will be developed in stages. Its planned infrastructure includes a UHP ammonia purification unit, specialty gas warehousing, facilities for UHP oxygen and hydrogen and a phosphine/hydrogen (PH₃/H₂) mixing plant. UHP hydrogen is already commercially available.
Along with supplying customised gas and chemical systems and nitrogen plants, the company features a Total Gas & Chemical Management System designed to handle end-to-end delivery, safety monitoring, storage, and inventory management.
The company plans to distribute its proposed UHP product range—comprising specialty gases like silane, ammonia, nitrous oxide, phosphine mixtures, boron trichloride (BCl₃), trimethyl aluminium, diborane, germane/hydrogen mixes, hydrogen bromide (HBr), sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), nitric oxide, fluorinated gases and calibration gases.
