<p>Patanjali Ayurved is witnessing demand of around 10 lakh packs daily for its controversial Covid-19 immunity booster medicine Coronil, according to Yoga Guru Ramdev. The Haridwar-based company is struggling to meet the demand as it is able to supply only around one lakh packs, Ramdev said on Wednesday.</p>.<p>"Today we have a demand of 10 lakh packs of Coronil daily and we are able to supply only one lakh,” he claimed.</p>.<p>Stressing that Patanjali Ayurved had priced it only at Rs 500, Ramdev said, "Had we put a higher price of even Rs 5,000, in this Covid-19 times, we could have easily earned up to Rs 5,000 crore from this. But we have not done so.”</p>.<p>The yoga guru behind the ayurved enterprise was speaking at a virtual series organised by industry body ASSOCHAM on Aatmanirbhar Bharat - 'Vocal for Local'.</p>.<p>Earlier in June, Ramdev had claimed that Coronil can cure Covid-19 patients. However, the AYUSH Ministry immediately put restrictions on Patanjali over selling it. Later, the Union ministry confirmed that Patanjali can sell the product only as immunity booster but not as a cure for Covid-19. The Madras High Court had restrained Patanjali from using Coronil trademark till July 30, over a petition filed a Chennai-based company.</p>.<p>Ramdev suggested industry leaders to work with honesty to build a brand on which the people have trust and it needs a long term approach.</p>.<p>“To maintain that trust, you have to work honestly with dedication,” he said.</p>.<p>He also asked people to have patience during the pandemic in order to come out of the health crisis.</p>.<p>According to him, Patanjali has become a brand, which is a combined result of efforts, respect for traditional knowledge and hard work.</p>.<p>“Now Patanjali has become a big brand…. the success mantra of Patanjali is - knowledge, faith, respect and efforts only,” he said.</p>.<p>Several companies mocked on us with derision saying that Patanjali has faith but not science, he added.</p>.<p>“Today we have over 500 scientists working for us.
