“RDIF announces cooperation with the Indian pharmaceutical company Serum Institute of India (SII), the world's largest manufacturer in terms of vaccine production, for the production of the Russian Sputnik coronavirus vaccine in India,” the report said.

It is not specified whether we are talking about "Sputnik V" or "Sputnik light".

It is assumed that the first batch will be released by the manufacturer in September.

More than 300 million doses of the drug are planned to be produced annually at SII facilities in India.

Earlier, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Denis Manturov said that a number of countries, including India, are showing interest in purchasing the EpiVacCorona vaccine.
