NEW DELHI : In an attempt to ensure continuous electricity supply to medical oxygen plants across the country, the government plans to complete the technical audit of such projects over the next one week, Union power ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
With India continuing to grapple with an acute shortage of oxygen, the Union power ministry, along with state electricity distribution companies (discoms), is conducting an audit of electricity supply to all medical oxygen-producing plants in the country to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Ensuring constant power supply to medical oxygen plants is critical, as even a brief power cut at such facilities can cause a drop in pressure, setting back the entire production process by about 2-3 hours.
