New Delhi, Apr 2 (IANS): In its efforts against Covid-19, automobile manufacturer MG Motor India on Thursday commenced a challenge to find a quick-to-produce ventilator design.
Accordingly, post evaluation of ventilator design concept by medical experts, the company will give a grant of Rs 10 lakh under the MG Developer Program & Grant.
The carmaker will also provide production support for the proposed ventilator prototype at its Halol manufacturing facility to ensure swifter market deployment.
