The Indian Railways has developed a low-cost ventilator, Jeevan at its Kapurthala Rail Coal Factory, to help India boost the treatment process amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The prototype of the ventilator is awaiting clearance from ICMR to go into production. It will cost around Rs 10,000 without the compressor. Ravinder Gupta, general manager of the RCF said railways can develop 100 such ventilators a day.
