I too searched literature on 2-DG and found this pre-print (meaning not peer-reviewed) publication from Patanjali on Researchgate website. It is a theoretical study based on computer simulation. One of the co-authors is an ex-Director of a DRDO-Institute.
2-DG is a long-known molecule, having been developed as an anti-cancer metabolite. The present group has boldly tested it in Covid-19 patients and have shown favourable results and have obtained DCGI-approval. To that extent the work done is novel. It remains to be seen how it works out in field use. The side effects
Incidentally, DRDO-INMAS has published papers using this molecule more than a decade ago as an adjuvant in radiation therapy for a few cancers.
However, some experts have expressed reservations against 2-DG for treating covid-19 patients as expressed in The Hindu.
There is a Swedish company that announced on March 11th, a nasal spray containing 2-DG.

Subject: [IAC#RG] New DRDO Drug 2-DG is based on Acharya Balkrishna's research
I started to dig about this new drug 2-DG, which was launched last week
by DRDO and Dr. Reddy's. This drug is claimed to reduce the oxygen
demand by a body infected with covid-19.
Reading more on this, I found that this is actually based on a research
paper by Acharya Balkrishna et al. of Patanjali Ayurveda. Here is the
original paper published on the aggregator ResearchGate:
