Sputnik V was registered in India under the emergency use authorisation procedure on April 12, 2021 and vaccination against C-19 virus with the Russian vaccine started on May 14. As announced in April, RDIF and Panacea have agreed to produce 100 million doses per year of Sputnik V.
Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said, “Launch of production in India in partnership with Panacea Biotec marks an important step for helping the country fight the pandemic.
Production of Sputnik V supports efforts of India’s authorities to leave behind the acute phase of C-19 virus as soon as possible while the vaccine will also be exported at a later stage to help prevent the spread of the virus in other countries around the world.”
Dr Rajesh Jain, MD, for Panacea Biotec, said, “This marks a significant step as we initiate production of Sputnik V. Together with RDIF, we hope to help bring a sense of normalcy back to people across the country and around the world.”
