Jammu and Kashmir, currently generates around 88,600 LPM of medical oxygen, while the government so far has approved around 1,03,000 LPM oxygen generating units.

Officials said that under the Health and Medical Education scheme state capex budget, a total of 37 oxygen generation units were approved, of which 34 plants are installed and are generating 31,375 LPM of medical oxygen and remaining three units are going to be installed soon.

“Under PM Care three oxygen generation units of 100 LPM capacity are installed and one unit of 500 LPM is installed at Super Specialty Hospital Srinagar under CSR initiative,” officials said.

The officials further said that under PM Care/DRDO NHM, a total of 13 oxygen generation plants are approved which has the capacity of generating 12,250 LPM of medical oxygen, out of which 11 units of 1000 LPM are installed and operational.

According to an official in Jammu province, around 47,800 LPM of medical oxygen was approved of which 30,000 LPM of medical oxygen is being currently generated.

While as SKIMS Soura and SKIMS JVC, a total of 8,250 LPM of medical oxygen generating units were approved, of which SKIMS Soura is currently generating 5750 LPM, with another unit of 1000 LPM tested is to be operationalized soon taking the total oxygen generating capacity to 6750 LPM.
