Waaree Enters UHP Specialty Gases Market, Targets Growing Solar Cell Market Photograph: (AI)
Waaree Clean Energy Solutions (WCES), a wholly owned subsidiary of Waaree Energies, has entered India’s specialty gases market, targeting semiconductor and solar cell manufacturers with ultra-high-purity (UHP) gases and chemicals.
The company announced the entry recently, saying it plans to establish a pan-India specialty gases business to support the growing domestic semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing ecosystem.
WCES is setting up a specialty gases plant at GIDC Saykha, Dahej, Gujarat. The facility is intended to address the reliance of India’s semiconductor and advanced manufacturing 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.
The company said the new business will initially be developed in phases. Its planned infrastructure includes specialty gas warehousing, a UHP ammonia purification unit, a phosphine/hydrogen (PH₃/H₂) mixing plant, and facilities for UHP oxygen and hydrogen. UHP hydrogen is already commercially available, according to the company. 
WCES will also provide customised gas and chemical supply systems and nitrogen plants. Its Total Gas & Chemical Management System is designed to cover storage, delivery, safety monitoring and inventory management.
The company’s proposed UHP portfolio includes 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. The company said these products will be supported through a pan-India supply network.
WCES said the specialty gases business builds on its existing clean-energy manufacturing base, including its electrolyser stack facility. The company expects the business to benefit from government incentives aimed at expanding semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing capacity in India.
According to WCES, the new business is intended to provide manufacturers with a domestic alternative to imported specialty gases and chemicals as India’s semiconductor and solar manufacturing capacity expands. 
Waaree Energies said its manufacturing footprint currently includes approximately 29 GW of solar PV module capacity and up to 15.4 GW of solar cell capacity. Its portfolio also includes solar panels, inverters, EPC services, IPP operations, green hydrogen, battery energy storage and other clean-energy businesses.
