Fast forward 15 years to 2000. Not a lot has changed. It wasn't a mischaracterization'for India to be viewed on par with Sub-Saharan Africa well into the 2000s - income wise India was middle of this pack . That's just how bad things were 50 years into the republic. 
In terms of broad peer groups, this is in the same range as lower SE Asia, Middle East, Central Asia and South America. 
The IPL is also far more lucrative in revenue per game, despite the fact that with a mere 74 games, it’s in the bottom 5 of sports leagues by number of games played per season. 
The monthly total to date is now almost 88 million. February should easily cross 100 million and will likely finish at around 125 million. This is expected as it is predominantly second dose + boosters. March will be much higher as the 12+ group becomes eligible.
This Is because the weekly numbers dropped to just 5.5-6.5 million this week, driven mostly by a drop in first dose numbers. 
Total transaction count for the same trailing 12 month period (Feb 2021 - Jan 2022) has crossed 40 billion, to reach 41.06 billion transactions:
The bucket view itself indicates the expected slow week due to Republic Day. 
The week itself was affected by Makar Sankranti / Lohri holidays, dropping down to mid 7 million/day later in the week. However, it still totaled nearly 52 million doses, enough for a place in the 10 best weeks ever:
Respect. Fairness. Honesty. Accuracy. 
The past week was the best sustained one week performance: Mon-Sat averaging 9.6 million doses/day, each day over 9m. 
Calendar year end cumulative value figures: 
Daily bucket view is very consistent - five days over 8m being a record, but all in the low 8 million range preventing a larger weekly total. 
With the strong week behind us, full month vaccination has also risen to almost 156 million doses, a great number given that vaccinations were slow for the first 1.5 weeks. 
The daily performance chart shows the past week very stable at 5.5-6.5m doses a day, typically around 2m first doses and 4m second doses, stabilizing rapidly from the little over 21 million in the week prior due to Diwali.

And another:
Trailing 12 month transaction volume is now 34.5 billion . This is by a distance the most of any country in the world, having gained almost 10 billion from the FY 2020-21 end volume: dazeinfo.com/2021/05/11/rea…
October should end a shade under 180 million doses, around the same ballpark as August, despite 1.5 weeks of the Dussehra festivities.
