ICMR doesn't have updates today but it redirects to MoHFW site which has an update for 6th March 2020 8:00PM.

Confirmed - Indians - 647
Confirmed - Foreigners - 47
Cured - 45
Deaths - 10

So in last 24 hrs
- Tests: unknown
- cases: +113
The data on @MoHFW_INDIA is not updated yet for 28 March 8PM. The official data on number of cases published on home page of @MoHFW_INDIA is lagging signiticantly as compared to the crowd sourced live trackers or other sources.
Testing data

30 March: +3501 (govt) + 428 (Pvt), Total 38442.

31st March: +4346(govt), +399 (pvt), total 42788

1st April: +4562 (govt) + 816 (pvt), Total: 46951

Nos as told in the official presser. I see some discrepancy in 1st April data. I cannot tally them.
No info today in the PC but now we have the official report back on ICMR site.

We see massive jump in the testing today - 7900 tests in a day. Likely due to that #TablighiJamat Mega-cluster.

We are likely to see a change in testing protocols soon. Advisory is released for
anti-body based fast test kits and ramp-up in testing is likely to come in the containment zones.

The total tests so far must be 55000 tests today.
Are we back to the daily two update mode..??

Total 8345 tests on 2nd April and 384 on 3rd April till 9AM.

Hope @ICMRDELHI maintains one channel & routine of giving out official info - cumulative tests, +ve results, pending results, daily no of PCR & Fastkit tests at fixed time
While @ICMRDELHI Update at 9 AM on 3rd April says 2183 Positive Cases have been found, the @MoHFW_INDIA page shows 2301 cases for the exact same time.

If There is one portal to report all positive cases in real time to ICMR by all labs, how come ICMR data is lagging.??
Latest update - 10034 cases on 3 April 2020 till 9PM.

The significant jump in the testing is likely due to the availability of the Anti-body based test-kits, Indian PCR test kits and increased no of labs operational now.

As of today total 130 Govt and 52 Pvt labs are testing.
As on 9:00 PM 4 April 2020, we have performed 79950 tests and 3113 of them are found positive.

Today, 11182 tests are performed out of which 324 were positive. So we still have a pretty low +ve hit rate of just over 3%, which is low despite our more targeted testing.
UPDATE: 5 April 9:00 PM

Total tests - 89534
Confirmed positive cases - 3554

Today's tests - 9369
Today's positive cases - 295
Also a word on the ramp-up in testing. Finally a clear update is available from today's official PC. No antibody tests so far. They are likely to start from Wed when they are available. So the ramp up is completely with the RT-PCR tests. https://twitter.com/nileshjrane/status/1246145032714764288?s=20
UPDATE - 6 April - out of 0.5 M AB kits ordered, 0.25 M are expected to be delivered by 8-9 April. There deployment in the field may start in a day or two thereafter.
UPDATE - 6 April 9:00 PM - Testing data

The total tests have crossed 1L milestone.

Total Tests = 101,068
Total +ve = 4135

In last 24hrs
Tests = 11432
+ve = 311

Also if you have noticed, this number of total positive in given day doesn't tally with the actual rise. For example
on 5th April, total cases were 3554, while on 6th April, the number is 4135 i.e. increase of 581. But today's update says only 311 positives were found. The test data tallies however. For number of cases, I chose to go with MoHFW site, due to this daily discrepancy in ICMR data.
UPDATE - 7 April 9:00 PM - Testing data

Total Tests = 114,015
Total +ve = 4616

In last 24 hrs
Tests = 12584
+ve = 285
UPDATE: 7 April - ~2500 tests were done in Private labs (the data ICMR shared in official PC was likely today morning update)

Total 136 Govt and 59 Pvt labs are capable of testing.

Data point - On 3 April, repeat tests of same individual were 836 which is ~8% of total tests.
UPDATE - 8 April 9:00 PM - Testing data

Total Tests = 127919
Total +ve = 5114

In last 24 hrs
Tests = 13143
+ve = 320

UPDATE - 10 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 161330
Total Individuals = 147034
Total +ve = 6872

Daily count
Tests = 15663
+ve = 433
UPDATE - 11 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 179374
Total Individuals = 164773
Total +ve = 7703

Daily count
Tests = 17143
+ve = 600
UPDATE - 12 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 195748
Total Individuals = 181028
Total +ve = 8312

Daily count
Tests = 15583
+ve = 544
UPDATE - 13 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 217554
Total Individuals = 202551
Total +ve = 9341

Daily count not given but calculating it by subtracting yesterday's count
Tests = 21806
individuals = 21523
+ve = 1029
UPDATE - 14 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 244893
Total Individuals = 229426
Total +ve = 10307

Daily count
Tests = 26351
+ve = 853
UPDATE - 15 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 244599
Total Individuals = 258730
Total +ve = 11297

Daily count
Tests = 28941
+ve = 953

A massive ramp up is seen in daily testing, doubling in last 5-6 days. Must be on account of broader testing in multiple containment zones.
Typo in previous tweet - no of tests were 274599*
UPDATE - 16 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 302956
Total Individuals = 286714
Total +ve = 12581

Daily count
Tests = 27256
+ve = 1206
UPDATE - 17 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 335123
Total Individuals = 318449
Total +ve = 14098

Daily count
Tests = 31083
+ve = 1443
UPDATE - 18 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 372123
Total Individuals = 354969
Total +ve = 16365

Daily count
Tests = 35494
+ve = 2154
First time, I am seeing the total +ve number larger than any of the counters we see, whether Govt or Crowd-sourced. I hope there is no typo in the data.

Also huge jump in positive cases - 6%. Backlog or a real jump..?? https://twitter.com/nileshjrane/status/1251549991262273536?s=20
UPDATE - 19 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 401586
Total Individuals = 383985
Total +ve = 17615

Daily count
Tests = 27824
+ve = 1135

Even today ICMR's total cases is leading other counters. Something doesn't add up.
A total of 197 Government and 83 Private labs are functional as of today.

We should be able to easily reach 100000/Day test rate with this much infra itself, if need be.

Footnote on MoHFW website today. No ICMR data published yet for today.
We have an update today but no data on total positive.

UPDATE - 19 April 9:00 PM

Total Tests = 462621
Total Individuals = 447812
Total +ve = unavailable

Daily count
Tests = 26943
+ve = unavailable.
Typo in previous tweet - Data was for 21* April.
I don't consider morning updates in this thread, but since we did not have data for last 1-2 days here is it for today.

UPDATE - 23 April 9:00 AM

Total Tests = 500542
Total Individuals = 485172
Total +ve = 21797
