As a part of its social commitment, Praj Industries offered open and free access to handwash sanitizer technology which received an overwhelming response of more than 475 interests from India as well as abroad. 

 

COVID-19 pandemic has given a new business opportunity in the pharma grade alcohol space. Pharma grade alcohol is experiencing a major demand as it has applications in medication, space sanitization and personal hygiene. Praj Industries with its unique Ecosmart technology proposition, is in pole position to capitalize on this opportunity.

 

"Praj Industries contributed Rs. 18.50 million to combat the pandemic - Rs. 10 million to the PM-Cares Fund, Rs. 5 million to Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Rs. 1 million to Gujarat Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and Rs. 2.5 million to Pune Platform for Covid-19 Response organized by MCCIA, Pune," said Dr Pramod Chaudhari Executive Chairman, Praj Industries.  

 

Despite being affected by the lockdown, Praj has remained resilient, staying focused on creating value for customers while rallying around important stakeholders. 

 

"We developed a ‘Business Continuity Plan’ that focuses on Customers, Employees and Society. People safety has been a priority even as we adopted a work-from-home (WFH) model for all employees, empowering them with necessary IT infrastructure. This has ensured that we honour our contractual deliverables by rendering remote assistance for a variety of services including commissioning, operating customers’ plants and troubleshooting," added Chaudhari. 

 

The company has now gradually resumed operations at factories and R&D center, in line with the relaxed provisions specified by concerned authorities.
