    The ambulances were handed over during an official ceremony graced by Ajit Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra; Dada Bhuse, Minister of School Education; Jaykumar Gore, Minister of Rural Development; and Dr Neelam Gorhe, Deputy Chairperson of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, among others.

    Representing Hyundai Motor India Limited were Puneet Anand, AVP & Vertical Head – Corporate Affairs, Corporate Communication and Social, and Saurabh Sharma, Domain Head – CSV.

    High-Impact, Life-Saving Support for Rural Healthcare

    The state-of-the-art ALS ambulances are fully equipped with ventilators, oxygen supply systems, manual and electric suction pumps, and bag-mask ventilation devices for adults and children. Designed to respond to a wide range of emergencies – including trauma, chronic illnesses, and maternal healthcare – these ambulances provide critical pre-hospital support in regions where healthcare access is limited.

    “Through Hyundai Motor India Foundation, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve. These ALS ambulances will bolster rural healthcare access and reinforce our global commitment to ‘Progress for Humanity,’” said Puneet Anand.
