B.LINE: Good Capacity Utilisation: This Oxygen Express train that arrived in Delhi Cantonment railway station from Hapa in Gujarat is special because it is carrying 11 oxygen tankers (the oxygen carrying trucks) to Delhi, making it the most loaded train. Some of truck tankers will drive to nearby places in Uttar Pradesh like Moradabad, Agra and Meerut. Given the tanker shortage, many of Indian Railways' oxygen carrying train capacity remained underutilised. Some Oxygen Expresses carried only two oxygen carrying tanker trucks. , in New Delhi, on 10,05.21 :Kamal Narang | Photo Credit: KAMAL NARANG
AG&P Pratham on Thursday said it is deploying its cryogenic tankers to transport liquid medical oxygen across public and private hospitals in Delhi.
The first two of AG&P Pratham’s tankers, with a capacity of 16 tonnes of LMO each, arrived in Delhi on May 10, the city gas distribution arm of the Singapore-based AG&P Group said in a statement.
The tankers were handed over to the State government for the distribution to various oxygen-starved hospitals, it said.
“‘AG&P Pratham Oxygen Express’ will be transporting LMO to the States that are most hit by Covid-19. Starting with two in Delhi, an additional fleet of four LMO cryogenic tankers will next serve Rajasthan, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu,” Abhilesh Gupta, Managing Director, City Gas Distribution, AG&P Pratham, India, said.
