Top Indian and global corporates are extending emergency assistance such as medical supplies, life-saving equipment and hospital beds to help fight the second pandemic wave.
Reliance Industries Ltd is supplying oxygen free of cost to State governments to bring relief to over 1 lakh patients on a daily basis.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said: “For me and for all of us at Reliance, nothing is more important than saving every life as India battles against a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an immediate need to maximise India’s production and transportation capacities for medical grade oxygen.”

Mukesh Ambani s RIL ramps up oxygen production to 1,000 tonnes a day
Amid a surging second wave of COVID-19 in the country, Reliance Industries (RIL) has ramped up production of medical oxygen to 1000 metric tons per day, making it India s largest producer of medical-grade liquid oxygen from a single location.
Reliance ramped up production from near-zero to 1,000 tonnes per day and now produces over 11 per cent of the country s oxygen demand. It has rallied its resources to meet the daily need of over 1 lakh people every day. RIL ramps up production of medical-grade liquid oxygen from near zero to 1000 mt per day free of charge. (It is producing) 1000 mt of oxygen to meet the needs of over 1 lakh people every day on an average, the company said in a statement.
Distributes free of cost to State Governments
Reliance Industries has ramped up its production of medical-grade oxygen from 0 to 1,000 MT per day, constituting more than 11 per cent of the country’s total medical grade liquid oxygen production.
This oxygen is being provided free-of-cost to several State Governments to bring immediate relief to over 1 lakh patients daily.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, Reliance has supplied over 55,000 MT of medical-grade liquid oxygen across the country.
In addition to the production of high-quality medical-grade liquid oxygen, the other challenge has been to quickly overcome the transportation bottleneck in the supply of liquid oxygen to various parts of the country. This necessitated increasing the loading capacity for its safe and quick transportation.
Ambani is personally supervising the scale-up of production and transportation at Jamnagar in Gujarat. In April, the firm supplied over 15,000 tonnes of medical-grade liquid oxygen free of cost.
