Delhi curfew, oxygen shortage take a toll on Noida industrial belt

Rough estimates by local industry owners indicate that at least 15 per cent of the 600,000-odd migrant workers employed in the region have already gone back

The strict curfew in Delhi and shortage of industrial oxygen have begun to take a toll on the thousands of facilities in the Noida-Greater Noida industrial belt. Besides rising cases of Covid-19 among workers and fear of another lockdown prompting many to return to their hometowns, lack of industrial oxygen is putting a strain on manufacturing activities.
 
Take LG Electronics, for instance. As oxygen supply ran low, work at the Korean appliances’ major, which has its India headquarters inside a sprawling facility in Greater Noida, was affected on Wednesday, says the staff present at the site.
