New Delhi April 30, 2020. In a move aimed at supporting frontline healthcare workers and doctors during Covid19 times, Vedanta Limited, one of the world’s leading Oil & Gas and Metals company has enabled mass production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) in Gurugram. The Company has imported 23 PPE machines recently in collaboration with the Ministry of Textiles, and has teamed up with authorised apparel manufacturers to roll out over 5000 PPEs per day.
PPEs are a critical gear for healthcare workers and India, like most other countries, is working overtime to procure PPEs for the safety of its health workers. Vedanta has so far produced around 15,000 PPEs. The company has also provided more than 3.5 lakh masks through its Business Units to the local communities and has handed over another 2 lakh N95 masks to the Ministry of Health.
Vedanta Chairman, Mr Anil Agarwal said: “India has shown tremendous resilience in fighting the impact of Covid-19. We are working towards creating a New India to help create a self-reliant economy post Lockdown.”
As PM Narendra Modi has rightly said “Our basic needs have to be met locally and Vedanta will be the catalyst for the change.”
