Rising covid cases is primarily due to active Delta variant that had led to deadly second wave. Long festival seasons, followed by assembly elections in five states, has heightened the susceptibility of virus’s once again becoming epidemic.

Due to the looming threat of deadly variants, the Government of India (GOI) keeps pushing for an increase in daily doses of vaccination. Simultaneously it's also investing in installing Oxygen manufacturing plants, Oxygen filling plants, Oxygen Supplier and Oxygen distributions network. Even the private manufacturer of oxygen plants like Bhartiya Cryogas continue to invest in improving their capacities.

The Sahibabad (Dist. of Ghaziabad) in U.P based, Bhartiya Cryogas is one of the leading manufacturers and exporter of medical and industrial plants including Oxygen, Nitrogen, Nitrous Oxide and Acetylene Plants India.

The deadly outbreak of a second covid wave has led to an unprecedented rise in demand of oxygen grade oxygen concentrators and cylinders. Several hospitals run out of oxygen and has to rationalize its use by reserving for the most critical ones.

The surge in global demand of commercial grade oxygen has now led to large scale private investments pumped into setting up of a new oxygen factory, oxygen cylinder filling plants. Several existing oxygen plant manufacturers like Bhartiya Cryogas have set up new oxygen cylinder filling plants in India. They are also exporting it to other countries.

As per the Ministry of Health statistics till now across India, 1,595 PSA (Pressure Swing Absorption) plants have been installed in the last six months. Total installed is to produce 2,088 metric tonnes of oxygen daily. The advantage of PSA plants, which deliver on-site, piped oxygen to hospitals, is bigger in comparison to industrially-produced liquid medical oxygen that needs tankers to transport and storage units. It is also quick and cheap to install.

The devastating second wave of the pandemic witnessed daily oxygen supply rise from 1,300 metric tonnes in early March to 10,250 metric tonnes on May 28. The Modi government ran oxygen trains to transport liquid medical oxygen from distant industrial hubs to fill up the shortage.
