So finally I have an answer to what has happened to Novavax production in India, thanks to the difficulty getting raw materials out of the US. The news was worse than I expected.

There is says, Stan Erck of that firm, a "global raw material supply difficulty".
Novavax lines in India and the UK have been affected by shortages of items needed from the US.

Start with the UK which has been manufacturing this vaccine for a while (not yet approved).

Novavax is struggling with 3 key things: biobags, media, and filters. @halhod
Novavax is doing its best to operate its lines at "full cadence". But when they have missing items the lines have to shut down.

For the UK they are "weeks" behind where they would have been had they had all the raw materials needed.
