This gouging or profiteering on disaster is despicable act. I feel bad for Indian masses that is what you got if you have incompetent government. Chinese people suffer the same calamity under Kuomintang glad they get rid of it with huge sacrifice

Chinese oxygen concentrator suppliers are upset and saddened by price-gouging of anti-virus devices such as theirs in the Indian market, calling the move a deviation from their original humanitarian intention.
Many Chinese producers have exported oxygen making items to India at below-market prices by working extra shifts for timely delivery, even during the recent May Day holiday, to ensure the much-needed goods are delivered to those who badly need them, industry insiders said.
Media reports said the Delhi Police announced on Sunday that a company named Matrix Cellular Services was accused of black marketing oxygen concentrators. The company allegedly procured more than 7,000 concentrators from local vendors and Chinese companies before selling them at "exorbitant rates" to COVID-19 patients and their families, The Indian Express reported on Monday.
