MG Affordable Ventilator Challenge

About the program

COVID-19 pandemic has raised a dire need for ventilators to take care of the growing number of patients. There is an extreme shortage of ventilators and those available are very expensive for mass adoption. MG Motor India is committed to fight this pandemic and we want to do our bit. MG invites applications from developers for an affordable and quick-to-produce ventilator design to serve the patients of COVID-19. A select team of experts from the medical fraternity shall evaluate the designs. The winner shall receive a grant of up to Rs. 10 lakhs from MG Motor India to develop the proposed ventilator. MG Motor India would use the winning design to produce these ventilators at their plant.
