NEW DELHI (AP) â Indiaâs excess deaths during the coronavirus pandemic could be a staggering 10 times the official COVID-19 toll, likely making it modern Indiaâs worst human tragedy, according to the most comprehensive research yet on the ravages of the virus in the South Asian country.
Most experts believe Indiaâs official toll of more than 414,000 dead is a vast undercount, but the government has dismissed those concerns as exaggerated and misleading.
The report released on Tuesday estimated excess deaths – the gap between those recorded and those that would have been expected – to be 3.4 million to 4.7 million since the pandemic began through last month. It said an accurate figure may “prove elusive”, but the true death toll “is likely to be an order of magnitude greater than the official count”.

New research suggests that the actual number of COVID-19 deaths in India could be as much as 10 times the official count.
An independent, non-government report released Tuesday estimates the number of deaths at between 3 to 4.7 million, from January 2020 to June 2021.
India’s official government estimate of COVID-19 deaths is more than 414,000. But most health experts agree that the actual number is likely much higher.
Excess deaths
The new report estimates the number of “
excess deaths” from the disease. This is generally defined as the difference between the number of observed deaths and the number of expected deaths during a specific period of time.
