COVID 19 response
During the COVID 19 pandemic, the company took multiple initiatives to support local communities and government authorities to effectively address the health and other crisis. Contributed significantly to improve the production capacity of the health equipment/supplies (Ventilators, Oxygen Generating Plants, etc.,) manufactures leveraging its resources and network.
During first wave of the pandemic, apart from donating COVID test Kits, Protective Medical Clothing, Masks, ventilators, etc., we took efforts at the ecosystem level to facilitate the availability of critical health equipment and medical supplies. Particularly, we supported AgVa healthcare, a ventilator manufacturing company to ramp up its production capacity.
During the second wave of the pandemic, Maruti Suzuki started to look for purchasing oxygen generator plants to meet the crisis for its CSR program. The Company discovered that there are very few small-scale manufacturers in the country making these. They were loaded with orders but had little capacity or wherewithal to produce and deliver these in any reasonable period. Just paying money could not have helped; they needed manufacturing scale-up. We tied up with three manufacturers of Oxygen generator plants to boost their capacity by over ten times.
