In a major boost to the National Capital of Delhiâs fight against the coronavirus pandemic, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has installed two oxygen plants in the capital with each of them generating around 1,000 litres of the life-saving gas per minute.
The oxygen plants have been installed at AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi, reports India Today.
The life-saving oxygen gas has been the most sought-after commodity in Delhi, with rising Covid-19 cases in the city. In the view of the deteriorating situation, the Delhi government has also requested the Centre to deploy the Indian Army to handle the crisis.

The system is capable of delivering supplemental oxygen based on the SpO2 levels.
As the demand for medical oxygen is rising due to the recent surge in Covid-19 cases in India, The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed a SpO2 (Blood Oxygen Saturation) supplemental Oxygen Delivery System that could help the current pandemic situation.
The system, developed by DRDOâs Defence Bio-Engineering & Electro Medical Laboratory (DEBEL) in Bengaluru, is capable of delivering supplemental oxygen based on the SpO2 levels.
Atmanirbhar Bharat: DRDO unveils lightweight bulletproof jacket for defence forces
The technology that makes a significant reduction in the weight of the jacket is critical because it will increase soldier comfort while maintaining survivability
DRDO unveils lightweight bulletproof jacket for defence forces
Taking another lead forward in Atmanirbhar Bharat , Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has prepared bulletproof jackets weighing just 9 kg. These bulletproof jackets are around 1.4 kg lighter than medium-sized bulletproof jackets. The development is significant with the fact that the reduction of the weight of a bulletproof jacket by a few grams is also a big thing, but the jackets made by it are lighter by 1,400 grams.

The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) successfully conducted the final test of the land-based prototype of the Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system in Mumbai on Monday (9 March).
The AIP system will be retrofitted into the Kalvari class submarines, whose third model INS Karanj is set to be commissioned on Wednesday.
This new AIP system means the diesel submarines can stay underwater for longer periods of time and become more silent than nuclear submarines.
This latest development is seen as Indiaâs conscious efforts to build capabilities and counter the emergence of the Chinese naval force.

India is currently developing a 160-km range version of the Astra air-to-air missile.
Earlier today, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) tested its Solid Fueled Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology with a demonstration flight from the Integrated Test Range off the coast of Odisha.
The test, DRDO said, helped prove many technologies and sub-systems, including the ground booster motor and nozzle less motor.
The development of SFDR technology will enable India to make its own long-range air-to-air missile, which could mirror the capabilities of the best missiles in this class, like MBDAâs Meteor, which the Indian Air Force uses on its Rafales.
