&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;More than 16,000 machines from private manufacturers yet to be installed: Health Ministry data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;More than a year after the PM CARES fund announced it would buy and distribute 50,000 ventilators for ₹2,000 crore, only ₹1,532 crore has been released, according to a Health Ministry response to a Right to Information request filed by Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd). The remaining money is awaiting clearance from the fund, said an official.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A senior Health Ministry official says 16,000 ventilators &amp;mdash; almost all from private manufacturers &amp;mdash; have not yet been installed even after the second wave of the pandemic. The Ministry plans a meeting with vendors and the State governments within a week to speed up the installation process, said the official.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cost mismatch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There is also a mismatch between the cost of these 50,000 ventilators which is ₹2,147 crore as per the RTI, and the ₹2,000 crore amount that PM CARES has allocated. The official said the bill for ₹2,147 crore has been sent to the PMO, but the payment is pending. The PMO officials administer the PM CARES Fund &amp;ldquo;on an honorary basis&amp;rdquo;, though the government says the fund itself is private.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the RTI response states, the Ministry put in a purchase order on April 3, 2020 for 58,850 ventilators at a value of ₹2,332.22 crore. Of these, 30,000 ventilators would come from state-run defence manufacturer Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and the rest from various private players via the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s procurement agency Hindustan Lifecare Ltd (HLL).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Subsequently, on May 13, 2020, the PM CARES Fund announced that it would pay for 50,000 ventilators at a cost of ₹2,000 crore. The response to the RTI shows that this included all the BEL ventilators and 20,000 being procured by the HLL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cost mismatch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There is also a mismatch between the cost of these 50,000 ventilators which is ₹2,147 crore as per the RTI, and the ₹2,000 crore amount that PM CARES has allocated. The official said the bill for ₹2,147 crore has been sent to the PMO, but the payment is pending. The PMO officials administer the PM CARES Fund &amp;ldquo;on an honorary basis&amp;rdquo;, though the government says the fund itself is private.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the RTI response states, the Ministry put in a purchase order on April 3, 2020 for 58,850 ventilators at a value of ₹2,332.22 crore. Of these, 30,000 ventilators would come from state-run defence manufacturer Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and the rest from various private players via the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s procurement agency Hindustan Lifecare Ltd (HLL).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Subsequently, on May 13, 2020, the PM CARES Fund announced that it would pay for 50,000 ventilators at a cost of ₹2,000 crore. The response to the RTI shows that this included all the BEL ventilators and 20,000 being procured by the HLL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;More than 16,000 machines from private manufacturers yet to be installed: Health Ministry data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;More than a year after the PM CARES fund announced it would buy and distribute 50,000 ventilators for ₹2,000 crore, only ₹1,532 crore has been released, according to a Health Ministry response to a Right to Information request filed by Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd). The remaining money is awaiting clearance from the fund, said an official.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A senior Health Ministry official says 16,000 ventilators &amp;mdash; almost all from private manufacturers &amp;mdash; have not yet been installed even after the second wave of the pandemic. The Ministry plans a meeting with vendors and the State governments within a week to speed up the installation process, said the official.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cost mismatch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There is also a mismatch between the cost of these 50,000 ventilators which is ₹2,147 crore as per the RTI, and the ₹2,000 crore amount that PM CARES has allocated. The official said the bill for ₹2,147 crore has been sent to the PMO, but the payment is pending. The PMO officials administer the PM CARES Fund &amp;ldquo;on an honorary basis&amp;rdquo;, though the government says the fund itself is private.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the RTI response states, the Ministry put in a purchase order on April 3, 2020 for 58,850 ventilators at a value of ₹2,332.22 crore. Of these, 30,000 ventilators would come from state-run defence manufacturer Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and the rest from various private players via the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s procurement agency Hindustan Lifecare Ltd (HLL).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Subsequently, on May 13, 2020, the PM CARES Fund announced that it would pay for 50,000 ventilators at a cost of ₹2,000 crore. The response to the RTI shows that this included all the BEL ventilators and 20,000 being procured by the HLL&lt;/p&gt;

‘PM CARES has paid only for three-fourths of ventilators ordered in April 2020’ -Priscilla Jebaraj

-The Hindu More than 16,000 machines from private manufacturers yet to be installed: Health Ministry data More than a year after the PM CARES fund announced it would buy and distribute 50,000 ventilators for 2,000 crore, only 1,532 crore has been released, according to a Health Ministry response to a Right to Information request filed by Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd). The remaining money is awaiting clearance from the fund, said an official. A senior Health Ministry official says 16,000 ventilators — almost all from private manufacturers — have not yet been installed even after the second wave of the pandemic. The Ministry plans a meeting with vendors and the State governments within a week to speed up the installation process, said the official. Cost mismatch There is also a mismatch between the cost of these 50,000 ventilators which is 2,147 crore as per the RTI, and the 2,000 crore amount that PM CARES has allocated. The official said the bill for 2,147 crore has been sent to the PMO, but the payment is pending. The PMO officials administer the PM CARES Fund “on an honorary basis”, though the government says the fund itself is private. As the RTI response states, the Ministry put in a purchase order on April 3, 2020 for 58,850 ventilators at a value of 2,332.22 crore. Of these, 30,000 ventilators would come from state-run defence manufacturer Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and the rest from various private players via the Ministry’s procurement agency Hindustan Lifecare Ltd (HLL). Subsequently, on May 13, 2020, the PM CARES Fund announced that it would pay for 50,000 ventilators at a cost of 2,000 crore.
