Adani Group procures 51 cryogenic oxygen tanks in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: Adani Group has deployed all its resources — right from ports, airports to its staff and other logistics infrastructure — to secure medical oxygen as well as cryogenic tanks. The Ahmedabad-based diversified business conglomerate has so far procured 51 cryogenic tanks capable of carrying 840 tonnes of liquid oxygen across the nation.
Ever since the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic hit the country, the group has stepped up its efforts to help the government in its battle against the pandemic.
Adani Group has procured these 51 cryogenic tanks from the countries such as Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan and UAE.
According to an Adani Group spokesperson, some of these cryogenic tanks were shipped in through the group’s Mundra Port in the state. Other tanks were also airlifted into the country with the help of the Indian Air Force, which deployed its biggest transport aircraft for these time-critical operations.
The Adani Group has also arranged 5,000 medical grade oxygen cylinders from Saudi Arabia. It has started a Covid care centre in Ahmedabad by converting its Adani Vidya Mandir school campus in the city.
Adani Group is further sourcing high-throughput oxygen generator plants and oxygen concentrators. Sixteen of these independent oxygen plants and 300 oxygen concentrators will be pressed into service in the next few days.
The group is also refilling and distributing thousands of medical oxygen cylinders every day in several states and districts, the spokesperson stated.
