This was then followed by Government of Maharashtra and in just in over one month, India could see over 50,000 bedded Dedicated COVID Care Hospitals in Mumbai, Guwahati, NCR, Ahmedabad, Benguluru currently constructions are also underway in Pune and other cities. However, the specs and quality control were a matter of concern as the technical know-how wasn’t equally picked up by the corporations and contractors, which resulted in some of the incidents due to heavy rains and thunderstorms.

The system also stores oxygen in case of an electricity failure. This new innovation presented by EXHICON to Pune Municipal Corporation was quickly picked up, the Corporation has already floated tenders for these ‘Oxygen Generators’ for it’s COVID Hospital requirements. Furthermore, EXHICON has also signed up an exclusive agreement with Trident to promote these ‘Oxygen Generators’ for COVID Hospitals.
