In the year 1982 Late Shri Carlos Albino Noronha founded the business of manufacturing and distribution of Carbon dioxide along with other promoters when he and his business partner set up Goa Carbonic Industries Private Limited a Carbon dioxide manufacturing facility at Dorvolo, Zuarinagar, in the state of Goa.

Thereafter in the year 1992 these promoters acquired Ugar Carbonic Private Limited an existing Carbon dioxide manufacturing facility at Station Road, Ugarkhurd – District Belgaum in the state of Karnataka and commenced manufacturing operations in December 1994. Subsequently, Shri Noronha and the other promoters had an amicable separation and the Ugar unit came into the ownership of the Noronha family.

Carbon Dioxide being a vital and increasingly important Industrial Gas is consumed by a variety of Industries such as Chemical, Engineering, Foundry, Pharmaceutical and many more. Most of the Carbon dioxide bottled at Ugar is utilised in Belgaum, Kolhapur, Miraj, Sangli, Palus and other Industrial areas situated near our works. Carbon dioxide is also largely consumed by the Aerated Beverage Industry and for refrigeration purposes. It also finds use in fire fighting services.

Clearly seeing a rise in demand for its product at Ugar, in 2009 the Noronha group established another Carbon dioxide unit, Shirala Carbondioxide Private Limited at Kapari, Shirala in Sangli District of Maharahtra State for purification and bottling of twelve metric tonnes per day capacity of marketable grade of Carbon dioxide in liquid form in high pressure seamless Gas Cylinders. Subsequently in 2013, the Noronha Group embarked on its mission to establish Chikhali Industrial Gases Pvt. Limited at Chikhali, Shirala-Sangli, Maharashtra in order to meet the growing demand for Carbon dioxide(CO2) . This new facility has a capacity for purification and bottling of 15 metric tonnes per day.
