The Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited popularly known as Amul Dairy will set up oxygen plants in Nadiad and Balasinor districts in addition to Anand.

The dairy co-operative has set up an oxygen plant at Shree Krishna Hospital (SKH) at Karamsad in Anand. The plant with a capacity of producing 20,000 litres per hour of oxygen and can serve 60 patients in a day was inaugurated by chairman Ramsinh Parmar.

SKH has been treating more than 500 Covid-19 patients and daily new 40-45 patients come for treatment at the hospital. It has tied up with Linde Company to fulfil the need for medical liquid oxygen. It has a facility of 6,000-litre oxygen tank to cope up with daily demand for oxygen and a 1,000 litre three small tanks to deal with the crisis.

But since the hospital is receiving less than the earlier allotted quota, it is facing difficulties when the tanker is stuck in a traffic jam. The new facility will help to some extent to meet the enhanced requirement, hospital sources said.

Parmar said that Amul will establish more oxygen plants in Nadiad and Balasinor. SKH is treating Covid patients from all over Gujarat. Keeping this in mind, the first plant was established at this hospital, he said.`

Amul Dairy’s managing director Amit Vyas said that the oxygen plant has been set up within eight days with around Rs 45 lakh cost.
