The company plans to provide more than 50,000 PPE kits to its Pump Installer Community partnering with its 500 Dealer network under the initiative called “Battle Covid”.

Initially, the distribution will be done across 7 states that include Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra with the support of EKKI’s 500 nationwide dealership network.
