🧵 Thread to collate some of the sources for vaccines purchases by India so far and the payments towards it. Vaccine doses in Millions, Amount in Millions and Currency INR. Let's start with the data released yesterday by MoHFW. 1/10
The first order was in January 2021, for Covishield @ Rs. 200 + GST and Covaxin @ Rs. 295 + GST (And 16.5 million doses free). 2/10

pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
Second was a Letter of Comfort late Jan for Covaxin for 4.5 million doses, though 0.8 million of them was marked for Vaccine Maitri (I am taking the same rate for Covaxin as before). 3/10

indiatoday.in/coronavirus-ou…
Early Feb, order for 10 million Covishield doses issued. 4/10
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/govt-pla…
India had also asked for 10 million doses via GAVI Covax facility, as informed to the Parliament - a total of 41 million doses ordered. 5/10

loksabhaph.nic.in/Questions/QRes…
Along with the Jan order, it was stated another 45 million doses of Covishield would be purchased by 31st March at the rate of Rs. 210 + GST. I cannot find a specific instance of the order, but it should have gone out before 31st March. 6/10

The update from centre early May to clarify confusion over lack of vaccine orders. Tax Deducted at Source appears to be rather high. I am taking the amount as in lakhs instead of crores. 7/10

pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
And to round up, the reply given for an RTI on vaccine payments. The amount from PM CARES and given out by centre is mentioned in the news article ( H/t @oommen ). The calculated amount from my table is a bit lesser, hence excess shown. 8/10

deccanherald.com/national/centr…
India has given out vaccines to other nations via grants, commercial contracts & for Covax. It is not clear whether this has come centre's purchase. The link has relevant details. I have taken grant details & commercial export of Covaxin from that. 9/10

mea.gov.in/vaccine-supply…
Finally, the investment by ICMR in funding clinical trials. I am not sure whether this has any bearing to the excess amount found in my sum-up table (Again hat tip to @oommen for the link - Pages 57 & 58). 10/10

Another emerges, with a noble ruling as king in all but title, on behalf of his son crowned as king.
