Sterlite Copper Oxygen Plant have successfully crossed the milestone of dispatching 2000 tons of medical-grade liquid oxygen to 32 districts in Tamil Nadu, helping serve the critical needs of the State. Through this effort, we are grateful to have significantly augmented the ongoing efforts to ensure wide availability of oxygen.
We have also partnered with SAP to integrate our oxygen dispatch data with the Government of India’s Oxygen Digital Tracking System (ODTS), developed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Leveraging the digital ecosystem already implemented in our operations, this initiative allows for real-time tracking of dispatch information via the ODTS platform and is a game-changer in ensuring effective distribution of oxygen to critical areas.
The districts that we have served so far include Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Madurai, Thanjavur, Kanyakumari, Namakkal, Theni, Tiruchirappalli, Thiruvarur Sivagangai, Pudukkottai, Dindigul, Karur, Virudhunagar, Salem, Nagapattinam, Ramanathapuram, Krishnagiri, Thenkasi, Erode, Coimbatore, Dharmapuri, Ranipet, Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai, Kallakurichi, Tiruvannamalai Tirupur, Tirupattur, Perambalur, Nilgiris, and Ariyalur.
We are grateful to the Tamil Nadu government, local administration in Thoothukudi, the medical frontline staff and the logistics workers for the unified effort in helping ensure the continued dispatch of oxygen.
Since May, our team and network of community and business partners have also worked tirelessly to ensure that the plant continues supplying much-needed oxygen to all critical areas as per the directions of the concerned nodal agency.

The complete production and dispatch information is updated on a daily basis on our website to ensure total transparency. To ensure multilevel access to supply regardless of location, oxygen cylinders have also been distributed to primary and urban health centres in Thoothukudi. In addition, over INR 2 crores of critical care infrastructure such as ventilators and ICU beds have been provided to healthcare providers in the area. This support has been extended in view of the increased need for suitable medical facilities during the pandemic.
This entire initiative is undertaken by Vedanta as part of its COVID CARE measures to ensure that no person suffers for want of suitable medical care. Across its units, Vedanta has also set up over 1410 critical care beds across 21 hospitals, supplied about 15 lakh liters of oxygen and distributed 10505 PPE kits.
