Just like last year, Indian automotive industry is stepping forward to further rage the battle against the pandemic. Maruti Suzuki has already announced that it has shut down its manufacturing units to assist in oxygen production and now, Mahindra and Mahindra has become the latest Indian car manufacturer which has come forward to help people.

“Today, Oxygen is the key to reducing mortality. The problem is not of oxygen production but its transportation from producing plants to hospitals and homes. We’re attempting to bridge this gap with “Oxygen on Wheels” a project implemented via Mahindra Logistics,” tweeted Anand Mahindra. He said that the “Oxygen on Wheels” uses trucks in local shuttle routes to connect oxygen producers with hospitals and homes.  “I made a commitment to CMO Maharashtra on Tuesday and in just 48 hours the Mahindra Logistics team launched the program in Pune and Chakan with 20 Boleros,” he added.
