Synopsis
In an interview to the Financial Times, Poonawalla said he had not expanded capacity earlier because of lack of orders. Severe vaccine shortage would continue through July, he warned. “There were no orders, we did not think we needed to make more than 1 billion doses a year,” he said in the interview.

The FT quotes him as saying the authorities did not expect a second wave in January. “Everybody really felt India had started to turn the tide on the pandemic,” he said.
