Indian Oil looks to draw Oxygen from China plant
State-run Indian Oil Corporation Ltd is planning to draw liquid medical oxygen from the Chinese plant of industrial gas maker Linde on a commercial basis, said two people aware of the development.
This comes against the backdrop of Indian government being cool to Chinese offers of assistance in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Indian firms on their part have been sourcing raw materials and products from China.
India’s state-run oil and gas firms are sourcing 900 metric tonnes of liquid medical oxygen from countries such as Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Thailand free of cost and an additional 12,840MT on a commercial basis.
