A cargo plane carrying oxygen generators from Northern Ireland to India left Belfast International Airport on Friday afternoon.
India's official death toll has surpassed 200,000 but experts believe the actual number may be higher.
The shipment, expected to arrive in Delhi over the weekend, also contains 1,000 ventilators from across the UK.
The three generators, built in Northern Ireland, are capable of producing 500 litres of oxygen a minute.
They are among eight oxygen units built as back-up for local hospitals at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
