Uttam Group of Companies is airlifting 55 oxygen generators from Germany and France to help ease oxygen shortages in India.
India is currently experiencing shortages of oxygen and cylinders as coronavirus cases in the country continue to rise with 300,000 infections and 3,000 deaths per day.
Uttam Karan Bhatia, CEO of Uttam Group of Companies, told
gasworld the company currently has 40 oxygen plants installed in hospitals in India, where they are generating their own oxygen.
“The one option for people is to buy, the other is to generate it themselves,” Bhatia told gasworld.
“We enable hospitals to generate their own options, so they are not dependent on someone else. It has come to a point now where there’s a national crisis, and they are scrambling for oxygen available. The hospitals that we supply products to, they are still self-dependent and they’re generating their own oxygen. My team today is working to ensure that these 40 plants that are installed are all working and there’s no stoppage.”
