Its product range of industrial, CNG and jumbo cylinders are used for high-pressure storage of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon and helium. It finds applications in a wide variety of industries such as manufacturing, fire equipment/suppression systems, medical establishments, aerospace/defence and automobiles apart from some specialised usage areas. The company has a roughly 150-strong client base in these vertical segments including Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Hyundai, Toyota, BOC India, Praxair, Mahanagar Gas and Adani Gas.

EKC’s financial performance during 2022-23 was weaker compared with the previous year. Frequent increase in CNG gas prices resulted in decline in consumption of CNG and, therefore, significantly impacted the demand for CNG cylinders, primarily in the commercial vehicle (CV) segment. The industrial segment of the company helped offset the decline and supported the performance.
