ISRO Team To Fix Snag Affecting Oxygen Production At Sterlite Copper Plant

The company formally commenced production of medical oxygen on Thursday and the very next day, the facility in Tuticorin, suffered a jolt in operations after developing a 'technical snag'.

Vedanta Ltd owned Sterlite Copper plant has roped in experts from ISRO to help rectify the technical glitch developed in the cold box of its oxygen plant, leading to a suspension in production of the life- saving gas. The company formally commenced production of medical oxygen on Thursday and the very next day, the facility in Tuticorin, suffered a jolt in operations after developing a 'technical snag'. In a statement shared on the micro-blogging site on Sunday, Sterlite Copper said, "efforts to resume production at our oxygen plant are progressing". "Today, an expert team from the Indian Space Research Organisation arrived at the premises to support our ongoing efforts and collaborate with our technical team."
