MG Motor India on Wednesday announced that it has partnered with Moksi-based Devnandan Gases to ramp up the production of medical oxygen. For the record, Devnandan Gases is one of the major medical oxygen gas producing companies of Vadodara.

The automaker informed that it will focus on assisting the overall oxygen gas production. “At MG, we are committed to supporting the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak. As a part of our care for the communities around us, we are boosting the production of oxygen and providing support wherever possible," said Rajeev Chaba, President & MD, MG Motor India.

These steps are expected to ramp up the overall Oxygen production by about 25% in the next couple of weeks. Also, the company aims to further boost production by 50% in the near future.

"We had followed a similar approach last year and stabilized the ventilator production at Max Ventilators plant in Vadodara. Now, we are focusing on enhancing oxygen production in the region, which is the need of the hour. We would like to thank the local administration for its constant support and guidance in this initiative," added Chaba.
