A new project was initiated at the beginning of the year 2019 to develop an Indian Oxygen Concentrator, which was successfully implemented. Efforts from our strong R&D team professionals along with strong technical and clinical validations, we came up with a world-class product which beats our expectations and experience of more than a decade in this field. Our product was commercially launched in January 2021, and its technology is licensed to Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in order to enable the high volume production of medical devices in India. With this initiative, we are aiming to resolve the oxygen supply problem of the country during the pandemic.

RISING TO THE COVID CHALLENGE 

As COVID-19 cases in India dramatically spiked during the first and second waves, many of the COVID care centres and healthcare institutions in India ran out of oxygen supplies and beds. The problem was noted during the peak of the first wave in September 2020, and then on a much larger scale during the peak of the second wave, in April and May 2021. The situation prompted the leadership to undertake an initiative of - “Solving India’s oxygen problem in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic” to provide high quality, affordable oxygen concentrators. 

WHAT’S NEXT : The Futurescape 

Dwelling on the unfurling horizon, Mr. Sunil Khurana says, 

•    “The focus at BPL Medical Technologies has always been on developing products with Indian customers and ecosystem in mind and we will continue this roadmap in 2021 to develop new products to better suit the requirements of our country. 

•    The Government scheme of PLI is a step forward to fast track more and more Make in India Medical Devices and depending on how this scheme pans out we will accelerate our efforts in this direction to make more products under the PLI scheme. 

•    We also expect Nursing Homes market demand which has been muted due to Covid19 to pick up a good pace in 2021. There, we have a well-diversified portfolio of product offerings which cater to most of their needs. 

•    Our continuously expanding network of sales and service manpower ensure timely support to our customers across remotest parts of our large country. 

•    We also see a huge opportunity to export our products to neighboring countries and have made significant progress in terms of registering our products in several developing countries and are focusing on expanding our business in these geographies.
 
•    Moreover, with Covid19 learning we expect Government spending in Healthcare to increase the overall size of Medical Devices market in India.”
