The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 23 Apr 2021The severe shortage of medical oxygen (MO) amidst a massive surge in Covid-19 infections pan-India compounds an already grim situation.

Pre-Covid, the demand for MO was barely 700 metric tonnes (MT) per day; it rose to over 2,800 MT daily following the pandemic and is now 5,500 MT/day and rising. But the Empowered Group-II (EG) has averred that domestic production capacity is over 7,100 MT/day. However, it is not sufficient to think in terms of bulk capacity.
