India aims to vaccinate 300 million people (more than the population of Indonesia or almost that of the US) in the first two phases of its vaccination drive. Indian-made vaccines have now reached neighbouring countries such as Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and Seychelles as part of grant assistance.

Earlier, India had supplied hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir and paracetamol tablets, diagnostic kits, ventilators, masks, gloves and other medical supplies to a large number of countries to help them tide over the COVID-19 pandemic.
