To help fight the

today donated INR 20 million to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief

The company has
adopted a multi-pronged approach to support the fight against the spread of the
Coronavirus. The comprehensive support includes product donation (Rely+On™
Virkon™) and essential supplies donation, besides the financial support to the
PM Cares fund.
LANXESS India has
pledged an additional INR 3 million for donation of material such as face
masks, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, liquid soaps, groceries, etc. in the
states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, around the areas in which
its sites operate. Based on the local requirements, the material will be
procured locally at each location and will be handed over to the respective
Municipal Corporations and Government agencies.
LANXESS India had
recently donated its highly effective surface disinfectant Rely+On™
Virkon™ to Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) to reduce cross contamination of
COVID-19 in civic hospitals and other establishments.
Commenting on the
contributions, Neelanjan Banerjee, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, LANXESS

the globe. We hope that our contribution to the PM CARES Fund and material
donation will support the government in fighting the disease and help
communities get immediate relief from COVID 19. We believe that the current
crisis needs our undivided support and are doing our best to help the
Government in its efforts.”
