Anil Jain Refex

Industrialist Anil Jain was always cut out to be entrepreneur. His father and uncle came to Chennai with an Auto Finance business and moved to trading in Industrial Stainless Steel. They had started Madras Metals in 1976 and Bombay Metals in 1980 which moved in to the hands of his father. Anil used to take an active interest in the business during his younger days.



During his school days, he used to visit the trading business during weekends and saw how business operated. During his college days he sold Jeans and T Shirts. He wanted to earn his own money to fund his standard of living.

The turning point came in his life when he was exposed to a new product Refrigerant gas. A bit of research and he knew his big chance was at hand. He was able to foresee an exponential growth in the business of HFC gases, by 2010, the use of HFC gases would be mandatory as per the Montreal Protocol.

Refex Industries Limited (RIL) which is formerly known as Refex Refrigerants Limited is a specialist refiller and distributor of Refrigerant gases across India.

Refex Industries Limited is a vision of Mr. Anil Jain, 38 years old self made person. He is also the promoter of Refex Energy Limited, Refex Trading (S) Pvt Ltd, Anil Jain Investments.

Refrigerant gases are used primarily as Refrigerants, Foam blowing agents and aerosol propellants. Its revenues are close to 80 Crores last year. It exercises superior quality control and efficiency with the aid of sophisticated and novel Automated technology for filling. Refex is committed to being an exemplary player in terms of safety, protection of health and environment and sustainable development. 

Ozone layer depletion is the reduction of the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Ozone layer forms a thick layer in stratosphere. It protects our planet . It protects our Earth form the harmful radiations that comes from the sun. the ozone layer has the capability to absorb almost 99% of the harmful ultraviolet radiations that sun emit and which can produce long term devastating effects on human beings as well as plants and animals.

Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiations that are dangerous for most living beings. UV radiations could injure or kill life on Earth.

The main reason for the depletion of ozone is determined as excessive release of chlorine and bromine from man-made compounds such as CFCs. Chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) is found to have direct impact on the depletion of ozone layer. CFCs are released in to the atmosphere due to

Cleaning agents

Coolants in refrigerators

Packing materials

Air Conditioning etc.,

Since CFCs cause damage to the Earth it can be substituted by HCFCs and HFCs. Unlike CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs do not have the ozone- damaging effects. The main advantage that HCFCs and HFCs is that they are less stable and more reactive with their hydrogen atoms. It means they can be easily broken down in the troposphere before it reaches the stratosphere and attacking the ozone.

Anil Jain Refex Refrigerant is one of the leading distributors of refrigerant gases all over India. His goal is to replace this dreadful agent CFCs in to HCFCs.

Their products are R134A, R404A, R407C, R410, R410A, R141B, and R23. Refex provides analysis certificate to their customers that confirms the standard and quality of their products. They take complete care in ensuring the safety of customer while refilling the gases. Their products are tested and certified. RIL has received the ISO 9001-2000 certificate from TUD-SUD, Germany.

With the ozone-depleting CFCs to be phased out from India by 2010, HFCs would prove to be an environment – friendly alternative with zero- ozone depleting properties.

Industrialist Anil Jain's Refex Executes Two Solar PV Power Plants in Remote Bikaner. With 50 per cent annual increase in solar power installations executed by it during the last three years, Refex Energy Ltd.’s growth trajectory is a shining example of India’s resurgent solar PV (photovoltaic) plants sector.The latest in the bouquet of installations done by Refex Energy is the successful commissioning of two large-scale grid connected solar PV plants with total installed capacity of 20 MW in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan on February 25. The two plants in Tehsil Kolayat have been developed by NVR Infrastructure and Services Pvt. Ltd. in village Kisnayat Budhan and by Sai Maithili Power Company Private Limited in village Gurha. Both the plants of 10 MW each have been developed under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission Phase I, Batch II, and will produce approximately 34 million KwHr of eco-friendly electricity every year.



According to Managing Director Refex Energy Anil Jain, “Refex Energy’s long experience in clean energy segment along with a dedicated in-house team for design and execution and a very acute local knowledge base gives us a strong competitive advantage. Given the short period of time for installation of the two projects (four months), we pooled together the best of our talent and resources to ensure that the plants were engineered meticulously to generate maximum output possible”. Refex Energy provided the entire range of services from design, engineering, procurement, logistics, construction and commissioning. Industrialist  Anil Jain said, “In 2010 there was hardly any production and the installed capacity of solar PV plants that were grid connected was around 13 MWp and if we include off-grid, the figure would not go beyond 30 MWp.

The scenario has completely changed today with the initiation of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, state initiatives, stringent rules being established in the Power Purchase Agreements and provision of subsidies. Solar PV plants have taken a big leap forward and are all set to fulfill a target of 1500 MW by March 2013.” The JNNSM aims at deploying 20,000 MW by 2022 in the country.

The company has set up turnkey solar PVfrom concept to commissioning for well known companies like Aditya Birla, SunEdison, Videocon, Kirloskar who have very high qualifying criteria and selection process. The company also provides operation and maintenance services throughout the life time of the project.

Mr. Anil Mehta, from NVR Infra Structures & Services Pvt. Ltd. says, “Rajasthan being one the highest recipients of solar insulation in the country and coupled with the state’s aggressive approach towards promotion of solar power, ensured a very rewarding project for us and with Refex Energy as our technology partner, we hope to set new benchmark for excellence in the field. The penchant of Refex to learn continuously is one of the most heartening features.”

CEO of Refex Arun Mehta says, “Continued optimal performance of our already installed plants and the output per KWp is what distinguishes Refex from its peers. Highest yield per MWpand competitive price along with the timely completion of the projects have been the key factors in drawing discerning clients to Refex.”

Industrialist Anil Jain approaches to capture refrigerant gas leaks in cans, ISO tanks as he is having immersed knowledge in refrigerant space for quite a long time.

A Refrigerant is a substance or mixture, usually a fluid, used in a heat pump and refrigeration cycle. In most cycles it undergoes phase transitions from a liquid to a gas and back again. Many fluids have been used for such purposes. Fluorocarbons especially chlorofluorocarbons, became commonplace in the 20th century, but they are being phased out because of their ozone depletion effects.

CFCs have a lifetime of about 20 to 100 years, and consequently one free chlorine atom from a CFC molecule can do a lot of damage, destroying ozone molecules for a long time.  Although they are both nontoxic and very useful, CFCs damage the ozone layer, the thin layer of Earth’s upper atmosphere that absorbs UV light from the sun. Because UV light can cause skin cancer in humans, damage to the ozone layer has serious possible consequences for the society.

It is regarded as the major cause for ozone layer depletion contributing to global warming (green house effect).

Now days large quantities of CFCs filled refrigerant cans, cylinders, ISO tanks etc., This indicates that if CFCs are leaked in the environment, it will cause major effect to the society.

Mr .Anil Jain, CEO of Refex Refrigerant Limited, works for ozone diplomacy in saving the society by suggesting refrigerant leak arresting techniques.

Mr. Anil Jain works for the ozone diplomacy in suggesting ways which helps the society to know about the refrigerant release capturing procedures. His Gases leak detection methods and preventing measures can be undertaken for both initial test and follow - up verification, so that it can be identified at the earlier stage and fixed as soon as possible.
