Hindustan syringes and medical devices have been allowed to resume production by CAQM
December 12, 2021:
In a letter to the Haryana Pollution Control Board (HSPCB), CAQM stated that the HMD unit was allowed to resume operations based on certain businesses.
The Metro Manila (NCR) and neighboring areas of the Air Quality Control Board (CAQM) have approved the resumption of production of Hindustan syringes and medical devices (HMDs).
HMD, which provides syringes to the country and the world for the COVID-19 vaccination program, “voluntarily” shuts down its factory as part of a pollution control drive conducted by NCR authorities on Friday. I was asked to do it. , December 10, 2021.
Rajiv Nath, Managing Director of the HMD, said that the HMD manufactures a key medical device for COVID-19, a syringe for COVID-19 vaccination, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Air Quality Control Committee, Immediately notified NCR & AA and other government agencies. Since 2011, we have been operating in 4.3 MW PNG. He makes an exception to CAQM member secretaries given the important nature of running a business for covid-19 vaccination not only in India but also globally to withdraw or avoid orders. I requested. There is no major national health crisis as more than two-thirds of India rely on HMD syringes for general medical care. Other countries also rely primarily on India to support global immunization / immunization projects for children.
In a letter to the Haryana Pollution Control Board (HSPCB), CAQM stated that the HMD unit was allowed to resume operations based on certain businesses.
“Today (Monday) we will begin full operation to receive the official letter. CAQM (Air Quality Control Committee) and HSPCB (Haryana State Pollution Control Committee) have put our plant up and running and very much. We thank you for allowing us to continue to provide the DispoVan disposable syringes and KojakAD syringes we need to the public. We thank you for your quick decision and streamlined approach, “says Nath.
“Formal compensation for hospitals and Covid Critical Medical Devices, including Syringes, uninterrupted operation of utilities and essentials, and services under the Disaster Management Act,” he added.
Nath also hoped that the HMD would be able to use diesel generators in very rare situations, ensuring optimal plant capacity utilization so that there were no shortages. He said that the cost of switching and restarting machines in a highly automated process not only leads to increased waste, rejection and downtime, but also reduces the utilization of highly needed syringes. He also noted that there is an increased risk of safety for patients with manufacturing defects. Going to the market is usually refused.
“No one wants to run a plant on an expensive diesel generator, even if it meets emission standards at the right chimney height,” says Nath.
According to him, the cost per unit of electricity from a diesel generator is Rs.24, that of grid electricity is Rs.9, and PNG is Rs.13.90.
Nath also wanted the Government of Haryana to improve the operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its electricity supply, as it does in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and even Madhya Pradesh.
“Regular, uninterrupted, high-quality electricity is available in the Delhi NCR region from October to February, when air quality deteriorates, to give farmers priority access to electricity during the sowing season. That’s how we need to make sure that highly industrialized zones don’t have to run on backup private power, “Nath added.
