May 25, 2021 Ensures oxygen supply via pipeline from Tadipatri steel plant. Specialty steel manufacturer Arjas Steel in partnership with the Anantapur District Administration, has set up a 500 bed Covid Care Hospital at Tadipatri in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. Arjas Steel has laid an oxygen pipeline directly from the steel plant to the 500-bedded Covid care hospital, ensuring an uninterrupted oxygen supply. This joint initiative has addressed the critical need for oxygen in the hospital and simultaneously reduced the burden on the already scarce resources of oxygen cylinders and tankers deployed to other areas in the state. The company, as part of its production process, has an oxygen plant of Industrial grade. This is transformed for medical use under Andhra Pradesh Medical Services and Infrastructure Development Corporation (APMSIDC).
