# Uttam Group of Companies > A century-old diversified engineering group (founded 1900) in clean energy, medical oxygen and high-pressure gas systems, operating across India and the United States. Uttam builds hydrogen and CNG storage and transport, medical and life-support oxygen, and on-site oxygen generation — "Powering humanity since 1900." Uttam designs and manufactures high-pressure cylinders and gas systems and the infrastructure that moves clean fuel and medical gas where it is needed. The group spans three pillars: clean energy (hydrogen and CNG storage, transport and refueling), healthcare (medical-oxygen heritage, the OxyGo portable-oxygen line, and the Breathe Easy India respiratory-health nonprofit), and industrial, aerospace and recreational gas products. ## Key facts - Founded 1900; over fifty years of modern gas-engineering leadership. - Operates in two regions only: India and the United States. Contact is by email (info@uttam.com); no public addresses or phone numbers. - Built India's first 350-bar hydrogen virtual gas pipeline (for Reliance Industries) and consumer hydrogen bus fuel systems (200 systems, for Tata). - 800+ virtual gas-pipeline (BGT) systems deployed; 250,000+ high-pressure cylinders in circulation. - 140+ oxygen plants installed across India, including 35 on-site oxygen-generation plants for the Indian Army. - COVID-19 response: medical oxygen reaching 5,000,000+ people, working with the Indian Army, DRDO, the UNDP, and the Governments of France, Japan, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand. - An estimated ~960,000 tonnes of CO₂ avoided per year by moving transport and industry from diesel/petrol onto cleaner CNG and hydrogen. - Cylinders proven in demanding settings: ISRO's Chandrayaan missions, the Indian Army at Siachen Glacier, and India's highest-altitude oxygen plant in Sikkim. - Leadership: Karan Bhatia (Chairman & CEO, twice President of AIIGMA), Aanchal Bhatia (Director; founder of Breathe Easy India), and Aaryaman Bhatia (Chief Operating Officer). Founded by Dr. Panna Lal Bhatia, who established AIIGMA in 1975. ## Pages - [Our Story](https://www.uttam.com/our-story): A century-old engineering institution — timeline, values and footprint across India and the United States. - [Impact](https://www.uttam.com/impact): Decarbonising India's transport and industry with CNG and hydrogen, and supplying medical oxygen when it mattered most. - [Clean Energy](https://www.uttam.com/clean-energy): Hydrogen and CNG storage and transport — Type III composite cylinders, MEGC systems, mobile refueling and virtual pipelines. - [Products](https://www.uttam.com/products): Datasheet specifications across clean-energy, medical and life-support, on-site oxygen generation, industrial, aerospace and recreational cylinders. - [Healthcare](https://www.uttam.com/healthcare): Medical-gas heritage, the OxyGo portable-oxygen line, and Breathe Easy India, the group's respiratory-health nonprofit. - [Leadership](https://www.uttam.com/leadership): The Bhatia family leadership and Uttam's role in India's clean-energy and medical-gas industries. - [Trusted By](https://www.uttam.com/customers): Customers across India's city-gas distribution networks, oil-marketing companies, and industrial-gas, energy and engineering majors. - [News & Recognition](https://www.uttam.com/news): Press, milestones and recognition from across the Uttam Group. - [Careers](https://www.uttam.com/careers): Roles across clean energy, high-pressure engineering and healthcare in India and the United States. - [Contact](https://www.uttam.com/contact): Request a quote for hydrogen, CNG, Bio-CNG, medical or life-support gas systems. ## Contact - Email: info@uttam.com - Regions: India and the United States
