After conducting an "oxygen audit", the Home Ministry has assured the country it has enough stock of medical oxygen and has streamlined transportation from producing states to high-demand areas amid the COVID-19 crisis. The centre is monitoring movement of tankers in real-time with GPS. "Most of the oxygen-generating plants are in eastern and central parts of the country. From there it has to be transported. After reworking the dynamics, turnaround time has been reduced substantially," a senior officer in the Home Ministry said.
