Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) on Thursday said it has ramped up its daily oxygen supply limit to 120 tonnes/day for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
To date, the company has supplied over 1,000 tonnes of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) to various health centers in nine states of India, a company spokesperson said.
Earlier, JSPL on average was supplying up to 100 tonne LMO per day.
The spokesperson further said that "JSPL can increase the supply to 400 tonne a day but it is unable to do so due to shortage of cryogenic tankers."
On the directions of the Ministry of Steel, integrated steelmakers are supplying medical oxygen in liquid form to various states amid rising demand for the gas, being used for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Steel plants produce oxygen for various steel-making processes including in the basic oxygen furnace (BoF).
