Motul India Scales Up Sehat Ki Samriddhi Initiative to 108 Health Camps Across 27 Districts
Building on two years of successful healthcare delivery for auto mechanics, the company is accelerating its nationwide footprint of free medical camps
What started as 40 health camps in 11 districts is today a 108-camp nationwide movement. Motul India, a leading manufacturer of premium, high-performance engine and industrial lubricants, is scaling up Sehat Ki Samriddhi in partnership with Smile Foundation. Running from April to December 2026 across 27 districts, the CSR healthcare initiative targets over 21,000 beneficiaries. For many of these mechanics, walking through the camp doors marks the very first time they will receive a formal medical diagnosis and a clear path to treatment.
This year's rollout more than doubles the 51 health camps conducted last year, marking the initiative's most expansive chapter to date. Since 2024, the programme has executed 91free camps across major automotive hubs like Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Mangalore and many more delivering care to over 18,300 people, including 5,200 women and children. Many mechanics operate without health insurance, meaning the physical toll of demanding workshop environments often goes unaddressed. Motul’s response focuses entirely on accessibility: rather than expecting mechanics to step away from their livelihoods, the initiative brings specialized medical attention directly to them.
Nagendra Pai, CEO of Motul India and South Asia, said: "Auto mechanics are the people who keep India's vehicles running every day, yet they remain one of the most underserved communities when it comes to healthcare. Sehat Ki Samriddhi's expansion to 108 camps this year reflects our deepening commitment to these communities. We want to ensure that auto mechanics and their families receive the care and support they deserve, right at their doorsteps."
Each free camp fields multiple doctors to deliver consultations, specialized diagnostics for blood sugar and hemoglobin, essential medicines, and first-aid kits. Motul employees and distributors support ground operations by handling registration, vital checks, kit distribution, and crowd management to ensure seamless care. At its peak, individual camps drew over 300 beneficiaries in a single day, focusing on building lasting community trust alongside healthcare delivery.
Santanu Mishra, Co-founder of Smile Foundation, added: "Sehat Ki Samriddhi is a strong example of what happens when corporate commitment meets grassroots need. Auto mechanics might be facing occupational hazards every day that go unaddressed until it becomes serious health crises. By bringing doctors, diagnostics, and screenings directly to these beneficiaries, we are promoting and ensuring preventive care."
As Sehat Ki Samriddhi enters its most expansive chapter yet, Motul India's focus remains clear: ensuring the communities that power India's automobile industry have access to the free healthcare they deserve, now and in the years ahead.
