Responding timely to the emerging need of PPEs and other protective gear for our frontline health professionals, we are working with NGO partner United Way (Mumbai) to provide 9,000 face masks, 45,000 disposable nitrile gloves and 3,000 PPE kits to three leading hospitals in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Our contribution is expected to benefit medical staff especially in Mumbai, which has the highest caseload. 

We continue to supply LNG and lubricants to key sectors involved in producing essential goods such as fertilizers, power generation, petrochemicals, refineries, iron and steel, and others. We are also supplying specialty raw materials for making critical medical products such as surgical drapes and gowns, face masks, medical hand sanitizers and disinfectants. Additionally, as GoMechanic’s official mobility partner, we are supporting their #OpenForHeroes initiative that provides essential maintenance services to emergency vehicles at the frontlines of India’s COVID-19 response.   

In Bengaluru, where we have our biggest employee base, we have donated 800 safety kits to the Bengaluru City Police and 2,000 hygiene kits to the Bengaluru Municipal Corporation.
