Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) announced that the company has entered into an arrangement with AgVa Healthcare, an existing approved manufacturer of ventilators, to scale up production of ventilators. The company has plans to reach a volume of 10,000 units of ventilators per month.
The company said in its release that MSIL would use its suppliers to produce the required volume of components and use its experience and knowledge to upgrade systems for the production and quality control of the higher volumes. Any other assistance required would also be provided. MSIL would also help, to the required extent to arrange financing, and obtain all permissions and approvals required to enable the higher production. MSIL would provide these services free of cost to AgVa Healthcare.
Krishna Maruti Limited, a joint venture of MSIL with Ashok Kapur, would be manufacturing 3-ply masks for supply to the Haryana and Central governments. Production is expected to start as soon as all approvals are received. Ashok Kapur will provide 2 million masks free of cost as his own contribution, the company added.
MSIL said that the company will also be manufacturing protective clothing with the Relan family once the company gets all the needed approvals. “Bharat Seats Limited, a joint venture of MSIL with the Relan family, would be manufacturing protective clothing as soon as all approvals are in place,” the company said.
The company assured that all its manufacturing units would take maximum care to protect the safety and health of the workers in accordance with the government recommended practices.
