Confirmed cases are always only a fraction of all cases as not every infected person is tested and diagnosed.

The question is, how large of a fraction?

The IHME model for India suggests that the number of total cases is 29-times higher than the number of confirmed cases.
As you’ve seen in the chart above the latest data from the model is for April 11.

If the ratio between confirmed cases and total cases has stayed at 29, then the 233,074 cases that India confirms now correspond to 6.76 million cases daily.

(233,074*29=6.76M)
All these epidemiological models, including the IHME model, are far from perfect and that's important to keep in mind.
This is how it compares with global estimates:

The IHME model was estimating 6.7 million daily cases for April 11 for the *world as a whole*.

If this is true, then the number of total daily cases in India is now higher than the number of total global cases just 9 days ago.
