Companies join hands in India’s fight against COVID-19

For battling against the oxygen shortage in the country, Delhivery, Tata Group, ITC, and several others are doing their best.

With the coronavirus cases seeing a massive increase each day, the entire country has been struggling to keep up and stay safely in their homes.

However, several companies have come in and decided to join hands in the fight against COVID-19. Whether it be a consumer goods company or a cigarette joint, no one is at the back foot when it comes to fighting this life-threatening virus.

For battling against the oxygen shortage in the country, Delhivery, Tata Group, ITC, and several others are doing their best.

IFFCO, UPL, and even a few smaller companies have made announcements for augmenting fresh oxygen supplies amidst the crisis that has dawned upon India.



ITC in its tie-up with Linde India will air freight cryogenic ISO containers from several Asian countries. It is also airlifting containers of oxygen to distribute in areas near Bhadrachalam.

Linda along with Tata Group has been able to secure 24 cryogenic containers to East India, which now has surplus oxygen and is helping north India as well. Delhivery is flying charter planes to China to be able to get oxygen and other essential supplies to India.

Sequoia Capital has also mentioned that they’ve got a few leads for oxygen concentrators through their employees in China during their scout. Many plants are using their facilities for the production of oxygen.

Delhivery has joined the bandwagon and announced that they will fly charters in India with oxygen concentrators as well as other essential supplies.

India has been fighting its biggest war against coronavirus. Delhivery has joined the bandwagon and announced that they will fly charters in India with oxygen concentrators as well as other essential supplies. The announcement was made by Delhivery’s co-founder Sahil Barua through a LinkedIn post.

The flights will fly out on Wednesday as well as Thursday. An executive from Delhivery also tweeted that in case there is an increased demand even further, they are ready to arrange for more such flights as well. They are doing this at a minimum margin.

India is facing a massive shortage of oxygen cylinders with many patients even losing lives due to unavailability of oxygen concentrators. In fact, with the cases in India reaching new heights, Indian healthcare hardly has any bandwidth to cater to new patients.



The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has directed its officers to ensure that all import consignments which include oxygen equipment and essential drugs must be cleared, considering it as the highest priority.

This is to make sure that anything related to fighting against COVID 19 reaches the ones in need in the shortest amount of time possible.

Just about a few days ago, Tata Group had mentioned that cryogenic containers were being imported by them for transportation of liquid oxygen. Moreover, Tata Steel will supply liquid medical oxygen to hospitals and state governments in need.
