India operates one of Asia’s largest hazardous industrial ecosystems, spanning oil and gas exploration and production, petrochemical refining, LNG terminals, offshore platforms, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical plants, steel mills, power generation facilities, and mining operations. From the Jamnagar refinery complex on Gujarat’s coast to ONGC’s Assam oil fields in the northeast and the Mumbai Offshore Basin in the Arabian Sea, Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified hazardous environments are defined across every major industrial site. Standard commercial mobile phones are prohibited inside classified zones at ONGC, Reliance Industries, Indian Oil Corporation, BPCL, HPCL, and GAIL facilities — ATEX mobile devices certified to the applicable gas group and temperature class are mandatory for all field personnel operating within classified boundaries.
India’s refinery and petrochemical sector is among the most technically complex in Asia, with major capacity concentrated at the Jamnagar complex operated by Reliance Industries — the world’s largest single-location refinery — where Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified environments cover process units, tank farms, and flare perimeters. Indian Oil Corporation’s network at Panipat, Mathura, Koyali, Haldia, and Barauni enforces ATEX device mandates aligned with PESO compliance frameworks. Bharat Petroleum’s Kochi and Mumbai refineries and Hindustan Petroleum’s Vizag and Mumbai facilities apply identical field communication requirements across all classified area personnel.
GAIL’s gas transmission and processing infrastructure across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and northern India creates further demand for intrinsically safe mobile devices at gas compression, handling, and metering sites. The Dahej Petrochemical and LNG Hub in Gujarat and the Hazira Industrial Belt near Surat host a concentration of chemical manufacturing, gas processing, and fertiliser production units requiring ATEX mobile devices across multiple Zone 1 and Zone 2 designations. The Vizag Refinery and Port Industrial Zone and the Chennai Petrochemical Corridor extend this national footprint further.

ATEX mobile phones deployed across India’s refinery and petrochemical sites serve field teams performing tank farm inspections, gas leak detection rounds, confined space entry monitoring, and refinery process unit communication during both routine operations and planned shutdowns. Operations technicians, field instrumentation engineers, and process supervisors working within classified areas at BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and Reliance facilities use ATEX mobile phones to maintain real-time voice and data communication with control rooms and permit-to-work systems without creating ignition risks in volatile hydrocarbon atmospheres.
Chemical manufacturing units across the Gujarat industrial corridor, pharmaceutical plants in Hyderabad’s bulk drugs zone, and specialty chemical processors throughout Maharashtra require ATEX mobile phones for field supervisors and HSE coordinators within classified handling areas. Deployment scenarios include turnaround maintenance coordination, chemical batch control monitoring, hazardous warehouse operations, and pipeline inspection team communication — all situations where standard commercial smartphones create unacceptable ignition risks.
India’s EPC sector generates significant demand for ATEX certified mobile devices during planned refinery shutdowns, turnaround projects, and greenfield construction phases. EPC contractors mobilising to BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and Reliance turnaround projects bring large multi-discipline workforces onto classified site areas for exchanger bundle pulls, pressure vessel inspections, rotating equipment overhauls, and instrumentation recertification. Every crew member entering a classified zone requires an ATEX certified device — whether a mobile phone for voice and field communication or a rugged ATEX tablet for permit-to-work access, SAP PM work order management, and real-time shutdown progress tracking.
ATEX explosion proof tablets support P&ID mark-up, confined space entry documentation, NDT data recording, and shutdown progress tracking directly within classified zone boundaries. ATEX Windows tablets provide direct compatibility with AutoCAD and SAP EAM systems, enabling full project data access without personnel leaving classified areas. Infinity-EX supports EPC procurement teams with bulk supply, pre-configuration, and fast delivery aligned to shutdown project timelines, with full ATEX compliance documentation supplied with every device.
India’s offshore oil and gas sector, centred on ONGC’s Mumbai High and extending to Bay of Bengal exploration blocks, imposes ATEX certification requirements across all platform communication devices. Offshore drilling supervisors, production technicians, and maintenance crews working in classified platform areas require ATEX mobile phones rated to IP68 and MIL-STD-810 for saltwater exposure and classified gas atmosphere operation. Beyond offshore, India’s coal mining sector in Jharkhand and Odisha, steel plants at Visakhapatnam and Jamshedpur, and power generation facilities handling coal gas and hydrogen cooling systems all enforce ATEX device mandates for operations and maintenance teams within classified perimeters.
Infinity-EX is a specialist supplier of ATEX certified mobile phones and explosion proof tablets to India’s oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical manufacturing, mining, and EPC sectors. Every device supplied by Infinity-EX for India operations includes the complete ATEX documentation package — the Declaration of Conformity, zone classification approval, and certification reference numbers required for site HSE acceptance at ONGC, Reliance, IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, and EPC contractor facilities across the country. Infinity-EX’s experience supplying ATEX mobile devices to demanding oil and gas and petrochemical operations across the Gulf region and Asia provides the compliance knowledge and documentation standards that India’s industrial HSE teams require.
Procurement teams and operations managers benefit from Infinity-EX’s industrial stock availability, fast delivery during time-critical shutdown projects, and pre-configuration services including MDM enrolment and enterprise application loading for bulk orders. Whether supporting a single site or supplying multiple classified locations for a national EPC contractor, Infinity-EX ensures every ATEX mobile device is fully documented, correctly specified for the zone classification, and ready for immediate field deployment.
India’s ongoing refinery expansion, LNG terminal development, offshore production growth, and petrochemical capacity additions ensure that ATEX mobile device demand continues to grow across the country’s classified industrial sectors. Infinity-EX supplies ATEX mobile phones and explosion proof tablets to India’s operators, EPC contractors, and maintenance service companies with certified documentation, logistics support, and technical expertise required to meet Zone 1 and Zone 2 compliance standards at India’s most demanding industrial facilities.
Infinity Ex ATEX-certified devices are deployed across major industrial operations in India and the region, trusted by leading operators including KOC, KNPC, ADNOC, Saudi Aramco, and Shell for hazardous area communications. Every device ships with full ATEX certification documentation and technical support.
