I don't know if this will help. I am trying to compile a list of all real-time information portals on ICU bed availability across India. This may help in saving time for those looking for beds, assuming these portals are actually updated in real-time and reflect reality.
1. New Delhi: coronabeds.jantasamvad.org/all-covid-icu-…
This is supposed to be the Mumbai/Maharashtra bed tracker. It is down. mumgis.mcgm.gov.in/Resources/COVI…
Bangalore: bbmpgov.com/chbms/
Pune, Sangli, Satara, Solapur, Kolapur: divcommpunecovid.com/ccsbeddashboar…
Mumbai: Air-Venti App is supposed to provide real-time hospital bed info. Can someone confirm if its still working?
Telangana: Look here for the latest media bulletin. These seem to have updated stats on bed availability by district and hospital on a daily basis.

covid19.telangana.gov.in/health-facilit…
Madhya Pradesh: This unsecure page has a flashing link for "facility bed occupancy" but when you click there is a nav panel for different hospitals across the state but no real-time info (as the flashing sign promised)

health.mp.gov.in/en/naovala-kao…
Haven't found any proper, organized or useful information for UP. Maybe have to look at different municipal websites there as the state one is useless.
Kerala: Tells you about bed "vaccancy" by district and hospital. (Yes yes, I know .. I'll take the misspelt word. At least these folks are doing their jobs)

covid19jagratha.kerala.nic.in/home/addHospit…
Arunachal Pradesh: Circular/list about Covid hospitals and beds etc, but no real time occupancy info.

nrhmarunachal.gov.in/Covid/Arunacha…
I started compiling this info an hour ago but already I can see such massive variation in Covid management. In some states (mostly south) there seems to be statewide coordination. In others, there is no statewide information sharing or coordination. In Mah, Karnataka municipal
/district government websites are providing information on bed availability. In UP there is basically zero information being put out by the state govt. on this matter. New Delhi govt. seems to be at par with southern state governments, but its a smaller region to administer.
Also just discovered that this ISRO geo-platform is lagging behind in recording Covid deaths about 12,000 deaths missing. I don't understand why are there multiple government Covid recording dashboards. How much money has been wasted in developing this?

bhuvan-app3.nrsc.gov.in/corona/corona_…
Also many govt. sites are unresponsive and I am unable to open those sites and look for info.

See if you can:
gujcovid19.gujarat.gov.in
coronahelp.cgstate.gov.in/corona-dashboa…
gad.cg.gov.in/cgcorona/
I decided to start looking by local government websites of towns/cities to see if I could find any real-time information. Struck out with Kanpur. They did a "daily report" every week or so and this ended on Oct 1, 2020.

kanpurnagar.nic.in/document-categ…
One of the things included in Kanpur's "important information" is a link to the twitter and instagram account of the DM. I kid you not! This is there but no information about hospital bed vacancies. Image
This thread started out being about locating info on hospital beds but its quickly turning into a research project about inter-state variation in Covid response.
Strike out on real-time info at the state level in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Not a single link opened for the Chhattisgarh government.
Vadodara: Yes occupancy/vacancy information on a local app/site.

vmc.gov.in/Covid19Vadodar…
Ahmedabad: Privately sourced list by a non-state association

ahna.org.in/AMC%20REQUISIT…
Bhopal:

bhopalcovidbeds.in/?fbclid=IwAR1W…
Haryana/Gurugram and all districts

coronaharyana.in

I don’t care what you say but the fact that we are discussing the price of vaccines and how much of this price burden will be shifted on to states and on customers is all the evidence you need to KNOW for a fact that the wrong guys are in power.
And let me state it right here right now that the 50% supply to the govt that will be allocated to states is going to be done in the most politically skewed manner.
Someone just pinged me about my tweet. Let me respond publicly. Take this pandemic as a crisis response test. We need to be prepared for something bigger and much worse with a higher fatality rate. Unfortunately the level of profiteering in India during this

Really struggling to understand this. A young man from NOIDA got a RT/PCR test done which came out negative but he’s been handed a bunch of meds anyway. Now tell me which sort of test report says it can’t be used for medico-legal purposes (look at what I’ve highlighted in red). Image
Case history. This man’s brother tested positive on a rapid test but negative on the RT/PCR and has symptoms (fever and loss of taste/smell). The samples of both brothers were collected together at the same place. These are what the results look like.
Private labs doing the same test are also mentioning the Cycle Threshold (CT) score. This one says nothing. For a negative test the CT has to be at or above 40 I’ve been told.

Gwalior district administration seems to have its socks on. A day after a positive Covid test for family, quarantine poster, three follow up calls by docs and med bundle from the admin have reached the affected home. Not bad, but would keep my eye on the critical cases.
Med bundle includes Zinc tablets, vitamin B and C, Erithromycin and Montaire (maybe spelling it wrong). One bundle for each affected person.
My worry is that these are t he easier things to do.I.e., handling the non-critical cases. But the real test for admin effectiveness lies in the handling and marshaling of resources for critical cases.

My first pick in #whatwentwrong would be a journalistic establishment that forgot to ask hard questions of the political bigwigs and forgot that it’s loyalty lies with the public to specifically amplify and uncover the truth.
The only reason that Indian journalism is still standing is because of a handful of outlets and platforms that stuck to their guns.
I say this because instead of holding leaders responsible their absolute nonsense was amplified. It took three months between when I first posted about Covid loans taken by the Indian govt. and when a financial platform ran with the story AFTER i contacted them to follow it up.

Humbly and completely disagree. In India the govt led the public to believe that pseudoscientific nonsense like bartan banging would vanquish a virus. Then they slapped a horrible lockdown without proper thought leading to
desperation and deaths of migrant workers. They ended up ghettoizing these workers and encouraging the spread of the disease. The money taken as Covid loans and contributions to PM Cares has not been accounted for or transparently shown to have been used for the benefit of
a collapsing health care system. The govt was not able to stop profiteering by hospitals and unable to criminalize denial of medical care.

They also didn’t allow all vaccines to be used in India when we should have had multiple vaccines in play in Jan like every other sane
