But it's not just the Face Shield that the company is looking to manufacture. In fact, it was just last week that we told you about the company working on producing ventilators. In fact, a prototype has already been readied. The company's engineering teams will be working on 3 more prototypes based on feedback from experts and more research.
These new ventilator prototypes will help patients affected by the coronavirus. The prototypes are lighter and more compact in specifications and the teams aim to finish the task in 2 to 3 days' time. Importantly, these life saver devices which otherwise cost between Rs. 5-10 lakhs will cost below just Rs. 7,500 once made.
