Hyundai will ensure uninterrupted delivery of medical oxygen equipment to the worst affected states of New Delhi, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Telangana.

Hyundai will help deliver 700 oxygen concentrators, 10 high flow oxygen plants, 200 high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) machines and 225 BiPap ventilator machines to government hospitals in these states. This is in addition to the Rs 20 crore the company has pledged towards fighting the second COVID19 wave in India.
The ongoing crisis affects each and every one of us. As a community, as a nation and as humanity, we are all in it together. Since the start of the second wave, our thoughts and prayers have been with the affected families and our actions are echoing these emotions. To ensure we help societies and communities tide over this crisis, we are doing everything in our capacity to provide immediate relief. Lifesaving medicare oxygen equipment is currently in absolute demand while their suppliers, as well as supply chains, are seemingly stretched thin.
