The court also said that the Centre's formula to distribute oxygen to state governments, particularly to Delhi, was 'a gross underestimate'. The top court told the Centre, which claimed though it supplied 730 MT oxygen on Wednesday, that this much oxygen was not required in Delhi. Earlier, during the hearing, the top court observed that the Centre's oxygen formula requires complete revamp. The Centre informed the top court that oxygen supplies may dip to 560 MT in the next two days. The top court had asked the Centre to submit a tabulated plan to meet the 700 MT oxygen target by 10.30 am on Thursday.
