 INSERT INTO ORDER_DETAILS (
   IND_ID,NOTIFICATION_NO,ORDER_NO,MAINT_TYPE,SERIAL_NO,UNIT_TYPE)
  SELECT 
  call_xml.value('call/callSummary/indId[1]','CLNT(3)'),
  call_xml.value('call/callSummary/notificationNo[1]','CHAR(12)'),

  call_xml.value('call/callSummary/callList/callDetails/unitType[1]','CHAR(20)') from call_xml.nodes('call');
  
  END;

I hope you understand my question, Thanx in advance.

You'll want to use the xmlsequence function. It will allow you to select a list of nodes from your XML object. If you'd like to use pl/sql, the replace xmltype, with your variable.

      SELECT 
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/indId[1]'),
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/notificationNo[1]'),
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/orderNo[1]'),
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/callList/callDetails/maintenancetype[1]'),
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/callList/callDetails/serialNo[1]'),
  extractValue(column_value,'callSummary/callList/callDetails/unitType[1]') from table (
       xmlsequence(
         extract(
           xmltype('<call><callSummary><indId>100</indId><notificationNo>notification</notificationNo><orderNo>orderno</orderNo></callSummary><callList><callDetails><maintenancetype>1</maintenancetype><serialNo>1</serialNo><unitType>unit type</unitType></callDetails><callDetails><maintenancetype>1</maintenancetype><serialNo>2</serialNo><unitType>unit type</unitType></callDetails><callDetails><maintenancetype>2</maintenancetype><serialNo>1</serialNo><unitType>unit type</unitType></callDetails><callDetails><maintenancetype>2</maintenancetype><serialNo>2</serialNo><unitType>unit type</unitType></callDetails></callList></call>'),'/call/callSummary')));
