Reliance said it has now become India's "largest producer of medical-grade liquid oxygen from a single location", adding that company chairman Mukesh Ambani is personally supervising the scale-up of production and transportation efforts at Gujarat’s Jamnagar. "In April 2021, Reliance supplied over 15,000 MT of medical-grade liquid oxygen free of cost, helping nearly 15 lakh patients," the statement read. Now accounting for over 11% of India's total production of medical-grade liquid oxygen, Reliance is meeting the needs of around one in every 10 Covid-19 patients, the company said. With regards to transportation of said oxygen, Reliance said it has airlifted 24 ISO (certified by the International Organization for Standardization) containers for transporting medical-grade liquid oxygen. This, the company said, has created an additional 500 MT of transportation capacity in India.
