The vaccine, currently in Phase 3 trials, is being developed by Indian firm Biological E.
India has ordered 300 million doses of an unapproved coronavirus vaccine amid a devastating second wave.
India has administered just over 220 million jabs so far although much of its 1.4 billion population is now eligible for the vaccine. Less than 10% of the country has been fully vaccinated, largely because of a severe shortage of doses. India's federal government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been criticised for not placing huge orders ahead of time with either Indian or foreign vaccine makers.India is currently giving three vaccines - Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India , and Covaxin, developed by Indian firm Bharat Biotech and the government's Indian Council of Medical Research, and Sputnik V, which is developed by Moscow's Gamaleya Institute.
