Bhakts sharing this claim " Modi govt had allocated ₹201 crores to states for installation of Oxygen plants from the PM care funds". Is that true? Let's find out.

The money wasn't given directly to States but was allocated for states. There is a difference.

The central government was controlling everything. Read the 3rd para in the same government release. The procurement and installation would be done by the Ministry of Health.

The tenders were floated after 8 months into the pandemic in late January.

The Health Ministry themselves tweeted about this. Out of 162 plants only 33 were operational as of date and rest still waiting for installation.

Now why did the Modi govt took 8 months since the pandemic started to flout the tenders and why they have only installed 33 plants?
