Charges for the oxygen cylinders have also been fixed.

While small refilled cylinders will be provided at a price of Rs 200, the loaded jumbo oxygen cylinder will be available for Rs 500.

A site will also be earmarked at five locations where empty cylinders can be dropped and refilled cylinders can be collected.

For refilling oxygen cylinders, the development authorities in Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway had earlier been asked to evolve a mechanism to provide refilled cylinders to serious patients in home isolation.
