Why Delhi faced oxygen crisis if the demand was exaggerated

Op India  

An Interim Report on the audit of medical oxygen demand and consumption in Delhi prepared by a Supreme Court appointed committee has confirmed what was being suspected, that the Delhi govt was grossly overestimating its oxygen demand during the months of March and April. The hospitals in Delhi were being supplied by the suppliers like Inox using their own tankers, but additional tankers were needed to collect oxygen allocated from other plants in nearby states, which was the responsibility of the state govt. But when oxygen crisis emerged during the second wave of Covid-19, Delhi govt had allocated specific hospitals to the supplies. Had the Delhi govt used such planning, they could have built oxygen plants in the city hospitals, making them less dependent on suppliers. It is also notable that immediately after the Supreme Court had ordered the oxygen audit, the oxygen crisis in Delhi had disappeared, with the state govt asking the centre to reduce its allocation.
