Calcutta, Aug. 16: Industrial gases company Linde India (formerly BOC India) will focus on three key areas — healthcare, cylinder and tonnage business — to double the turnover in four years.

The tonnage business sets up air separation units for large steel and refinery customers.

The company, a part of Linde Group of Germany, had clocked a turnover of Rs 1,400 crore in 2012.

“We expect to double our revenues in the next four years. We are currently steering the business through difficult times. But investments in India continue unabated. Linde Group has committed investments of Rs 2,500 crore in India from 2008, when the investment programme started. Air separation units (ASU) are a significant part of our investments and we have already spent Rs 1,500 crore. The rest will be done by the end of next year,” said Moloy Banerjee, managing director, Linde India Ltd.
