Following the Centre’s announcement on Monday that anyone above the age of 18 would be eligible for vaccination from May 1 and that manufacturers would supply 50 per cent of the ordered doses to the Government of India and 50 per cent to the state governments and the open market, states have sought clarity on the price at which they are supposed to buy the vaccines from the manufacturers.
Though the announcement does not explicitly say that states will have to buy the vaccines, that seems to be inference, since it does say that manufacturers would make an advance declaration of the price of the vaccines that would be available to state governments and in the open market.

According to the Centre, while some states may not have their desired buffer stocks, but they still had additional vaccine doses which needed to be deployed in a more efficient fashion.
