KMML plant reduces price as demand shoots up
While other States are struggling to meet the unprecedented demand for medical oxygen, the Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited (KMML) has been consistently supplying the life-saving gas for the last six months. The public sector undertaking’s recently commissioned oxygen plant with a capacity of 70 tonnes per day produces six to seven tonnes of medical grade oxygen every day to be used in hospitals. Since its inauguration in October 2020, the KMML has supplied over 1,100 tonnes of liquid oxygen to various agencies at the instruction of Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO). “Since it is an essential healthcare commodity, we added a provision to produce 10% of medical oxygen when we designed the plant two years ago. But such demand was totally unanticipated,” says J. Chandrabose, managing director of the KMML.
