Is the problem of supply more serious than the production of oxygen in India?


New Delhi, April 7, 2021, Thursday

The situation is getting more serious as the second wave of Corona epidemic continues in India. The demand for oxygen supply in the hospitals treating Koro patients is increasing. An application was also filed in the Hill High Court by a medical group following the oxygen shortage. Before the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, medical oxygen consumption in India was 200 tonnes per day, but the demand has been steadily increasing during the Corona period.

According to one source, India currently needs 3,000 tonnes of medical oxygen per day. Oxygen production was also used in other industries but now oxygen has been ordered to be given to hospitalized patients. Accordingly, only 15% of oxygen is being supplied to industries. According to some reports, India is currently producing 5,000 metric tons of oxygen per day. According to the demand and supply, oxygen is available as per the statistics but there is an urgent need to improve the supply line to deliver where it is needed. It is not only necessary to produce oxygen, it is also necessary to get enough of what is needed.


Gujarat and Maharashtra have good oxygen production but there are many non-producing states including Madhya Pradesh and Delhi. States like Maharashtra and Gujarat are not in a position to provide adequate supply of oxygen to other states due to increasing transmission of corona. It also takes time to be sent by tanker from states that have Oxygen Sir Plus. The Government of India has also decided to import 20,000 metric tonnes of oxygen to meet the growing demand for oxygen. Thus the growing demand for oxygen in the midst of corona epidemics has become a hot topic. Many of them are in need of oxygen during treatment.
