Motul India has significantly expanded its CSR-led healthcare initiative, Sehat Ki Samriddhi, reinforcing its focus on the well-being of India’s automotive service community. In partnership with Smile Foundation, the company will conduct 108 free health camps across 27 districts between April and December 2026, aiming to benefit more than 21,000 people, primarily auto mechanics and their families.
The latest phase marks a substantial scale-up of the programme, which began in 2024 with 40 health camps across 11 districts. After conducting 51 camps in 2025, the initiative has now evolved into one of the company’s largest community healthcare programmes. Since its inception, Sehat Ki Samriddhi has organised 91 free health camps, reaching over 18,300 beneficiaries, including 5,200 women and children, across key automotive hubs such as Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Mangalore, and several other cities.
Auto mechanics often work in physically demanding environments while having limited access to preventive healthcare and health insurance. Recognising this gap, the initiative brings medical services directly to workshops and local communities, reducing the need for mechanics to take time away from work while ensuring timely health check-ups and medical intervention.
Each camp provides consultations by qualified doctors, diagnostic screening for blood sugar and haemoglobin levels, distribution of essential medicines, and first-aid kits. Motul employees and its distributor network also participate in the on-ground execution by assisting with registrations, preliminary health checks, crowd management, and medicine distribution. Some camps have witnessed participation of more than 300 beneficiaries in a single day, reflecting the growing acceptance and relevance of the initiative.
Commenting on the programme’s expansion, Nagendra Pai, CEO, Motul India and South Asia, said the company recognises the critical role auto mechanics play in keeping India’s mobility ecosystem running and believes they deserve better access to healthcare. He noted that expanding the initiative to 108 camps demonstrates Motul India’s continued commitment to supporting these communities by bringing essential medical services closer to where they live and work.
Santanu Mishra, Co-founder of Smile Foundation, highlighted that the programme addresses the often-overlooked occupational health risks faced by auto mechanics. He said that by taking doctors, diagnostic services, and preventive health screenings directly to beneficiaries, the initiative encourages early detection of health issues while improving access to quality healthcare.
With its largest rollout to date, Sehat Ki Samriddhi reflects a growing emphasis on preventive healthcare and community outreach within the automotive sector. The expanded programme underlines Motul India’s long-term approach to supporting the health and well-being of the workforce that forms the backbone of the country’s automobile service ecosystem.
