PM-CARES Fund Allocates Over ₹ 201 Crore For Medical Oxygen Generation Plants

A sum of ₹ 201.58 crore from the PM-CARES Fund is being allocated for installing 162 dedicated PSA medical oxygen generation plants in public health facilities across the country, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said today.

It stressed that adequate and uninterrupted supply of oxygen is an essential pre-requisite for managing moderate and severe cases of COVID -19, in addition to various other medical conditions where this need arises.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in March announced the creation of the PM’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM-CARES) where people can contribute to help in the government’s fight against the coronavirus and similar “distressing situations”.

The PM CARES Fund is allocating ₹ 201.58 crore for the installation of additional 162 dedicated pressure swing adsorption (PSA) medical oxygen generation plants in public health facilities across the country, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

The total project cost includes ₹ 137.33 crore towards supply and commissioning of the plants and management fee of central medical supply store (CMSS) and around ₹ 64.25 crore towards comprehensive annual maintenance contract, it added.

The central medical supply store, an autonomous body of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, will undertake the procurement.

The PMO said a total of 162 plants with a total capacity of 154.19 MT will be installed in 32 states and union territories, adding that the government hospitals for these plants’ installation have been identified in consultation with the administration concerned.
