Motul India manufacturer of premium engine and industrial lubricants, has launched the Motul Sehat Ki Samriddhi initiative. Aimed at improving primary healthcare access for auto mechanics, their families, and community members, the campaign starts with health camps in Varanasi, Lucknow, and Ludhiana on 25th June 2024.
