Sterlite premises in Tuticorin
CHENNAI: Metals major Vedanta Limited on Tuesday offered to support the Centre and various states, including Tamil Nadu, in their fight against Covid-19 by supplying oxygen from its locked Sterlite Copper premises in Tuticorin.
There are two oxygen plants, which can function independently, and supply around 1,000 tonne per day (tpd) of oxygen to various state governments in view of the urgent need to offer its support for the governments’ efforts to meet rising demand. The two plants have a capacity of 500 tpd each. As and when the permission is granted, we can quickly get one plant ready and start oxygen supplies to the needy states. By that time, the second plant too would be ready to enable us supply 1,000 tpd at this critical time, sources in Sterlite Copper told TOI.
