Engineering company Tata Projects is set to boost hospital infrastructure in India by adding 2,304 beds across multiple locations for the treatment of Covid-19 patients.

Press Trust of India (PTI) reported that the company deployed its engineers, technicians and workers to help combat the pandemic.

Tata Projects chief strategy officer Himanshu Chaturvedi was quoted as saying: “As one of the fastest growing and most admired infrastructure companies in India, we felt the need to use our expertise in executing large and complex urban and industrial infrastructure projects towards augmenting, upgrading the nation’s hospital network.”

The company recently transformed two wards at KEM Hospital in Mumbai city, providing 65 beds and medical equipment to cater to more serious Covid-19 cases.
