India battles supply snags in race to build affordable ventilators report @sachinr27 @anuron_mitra https://reut.rs/34TES5L 

Companies, including Bengaluru-based Dynamatic, startup Nocca Robotics and New Delhi’s AgVa Healthcare, are rushing to fill the expected supply gap with stripped-down ventilators, priced between $33 and $7,000.

Top-end ventilators can cost up to $16,000 in India.

India has ordered its 1.3 billion people indoors until May 3 so its public health system does not collapse under the weight of infections that topped 20,000. Over 650 people have died due to the coronavirus in the country.

Dynamatic Technologies is making a $33 ventilator that does not need electricity to function, while AgVa is aiming to make 10,000 ventilators by mid-May, priced under $2,000.
