As India's second wave of Covid-19 pandemic continues to escalate rapidly, existing supply chains are under enormous pressure in meeting the huge demand, especially to the most impacted parts of the nation. To respond to the National urgency, Linde India has joined hands with Tata group and government of India (GoI) to undertake measures to augment the availability of Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) across the country. In one such measure to bolster the delivery infrastructure for medical oxygen, Linde India, in partnership with Tata group, has secured 24 cryogenic containers for carriage of medical oxygen from international sources. These containers have arrived by airways to Eastern part of India, from where Linde would be transporting them to their LMO manufacturing facility. At the Linde facility, these cryogenic ISO containers would be conditioned and certified for LMO usage. Each of these containers, which can carry up to 20 tons of liquid O2 - will be used by Linde to pick-up oxygen from various manufacturing facilities and deliver it to hospitals where required. These ISO containers can also act as interim oxygen storages in remote areas which are facing oxygen scarcity.
