Rashmi Rare Earth Limited (RREL), the electronics manufacturing unit of a multidimensional business conglomerate Rashmi Group, plans to produce surgical masks to support the fight against COVID-19 pandemic. To cater to the demands of the medical industry, RREL will commence manufacturing masks by mid-April. In its initial days, the company aims to produce 6,000 surgical masks per hour which can be ramped to 18,000 masks per hour within April by installing three production lines. RREL has the capacity to produce 1.2 lakh surgical masks per day. In addition to manufacturing triple-layer surgical masks, RREL is also in the process to commence production of N-95 masks, along with thermopile and infrared temperature sensors.

Thermopile infrared non-contact temperature measurement sensors are the need of the hour, as preliminary signs of COVID-19 include a high temperature and early detection through such devices can save lives. RREL will start production of N 95 masks and thermopile infrared temperature sensory by April end. Supporting ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government, a major chunk of raw materials will be sourced domestically and some essentials might be imported, the company said.
