The aid is likely to assist some 7,000 medical professionals as they work to fight the infection.
“Combating COVID-19 has become a primary global concern, and we act out of our conviction that strengthening the efforts of other countries to contain the virus is a pressing necessity,” added Mr Albanna.
The UAE has so far provided more than 348 metric tonnes of aid to over 34 countries, supporting nearly 348,000 medical professionals in the process.
India has so far recorded 37,366 cases of coronavirus, of which 26,167 are active cases.
