Paytm to build oxygen plant, provide concentrators in Gujarat
Paytm has announced plans to provide 100 oxygen concentrators and set up an oxygen plant in Gujarat in an attempt to bolster its fight against the second wave of COVID-19. The oxygen plant will be set up in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Paytm Founder and Chief Executive Officer Vijay Shekhar Sharma said in a press conference, while the concentrators will be provided to government-run hospitals across cities.
It took the step to support Gujarat Governor Acharya Devrat's 'Corona Seva Yagna' initiative in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state. The Governor said, "We acknowledge and appreciate Paytm’s proactive commitment and efforts to help our state. We are optimistic that our combined initiatives will thwart further disruption caused by the pandemic.”
Paytm said it will set up 12-13 more such oxygen plants pan-India to fight the recent shortage of oxygen, which has ravaged the country and killed thousands. Besides, over 21,000 oxygen concentrators will also be sent to government hospitals, COVID-care facilities, private hospitals, and nursing homes in May, the company added.
Paytm also launched a COVID-19 vaccine finder feature on its mini-app store to help users check the availability of slots. The company said that over 1.5 million unique users have registered for the service already.
