HCL provides Delhi govt with O2 plants, cylinders to support relief efforts

HCL Group on Tuesday said it is supporting the Delhi government by providing oxygen plants and cylinders to support COVID-19 relief efforts.

“HCL is supporting the Delhi Government with 12,000 oxygen cylinders each with a capacity of 40 litres and 21 oxygen plants which will generate 8,800 litres of oxygen per minute, catering to around 1,500 patients at a time,” it said in a statement.

Two of these ready-to-use oxygen plants, which were imported from France, have already been delivered and will get installed at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in the national capital, it added.

As India reels under the impact of the second wave of the pandemic, hospitals in several states are facing acute shortage of medical oxygen and beds.
