Inox is also represented which says the are producing Oxygen to full capacity: Court
They were supplying as per demand which was never this much: Senior Adv Rajiv Nayar for Inox.
The development that we have witnessed over night at Nasik.. where oxygen supply was disrupted due to leak and 82 have died. The deman of oxygen by Max and others dealing with #COVID19 patients has gone up many fold. : Court
Supply of oxygen from established sources like Inox is not able to meet the demand. The responsibility falls on centre to ensure suppy : Court
We direct Centre to protect right to life of citizens who are seriously ill and require medical oxygen and to supply the same by whatever means it is required: Court

Central govt should consider ways and means of transporting Oxygen from plants by either creating a dedicated corridor so that the supply lines are not affected or air lifting the same : Court
This is all that we can say at this stage. What do we do : Court
We have requisitioned extra oxygen for Delhi.. it's being implemented as we speak : Anil Soni adv for Centre.
It's no solace to anybody that you are supplying 400 MT.. centre has all the power and resources at their command.. Even Tata is supplying. Mr Tata will be willing to help. Everyone must be willing to help at this moment..whether is it Tata or...: Court

Steel plants using their own captive oxygen plants are exempted. There is nothing said about petroleum. This only means that steel plants procuring oxygen have been prevented from doing so : Court
