The company will invest nearly Rs 540 crore to build the air separation plants each of 1,200 tonnes a day capacity, said a company statement.
The first phase of the Tata Steel’s greenfield project will come on stream in 2014.
The air separation plant will supply gaseous oxygen, nitrogen and argon to meet the production requirements of Tata Steel’s new steelworks.

The company plans to establish an extensive pipeline network through the industrial complex to meet the gases demand of the various steel production units operating in the State, Mr S.K. Menon, Managing Director, said in a statement.
