Federal Health Minister Harsh Vardhan says the "allegations" of vaccine scarcity are "utterly baseless" - more than 40 million doses are "in stock or nearing delivery.
He blames states for trying to "divert attention from their poor vaccination efforts by just continuously shifting the goalposts".
Mr Vardhan believes the states which are complaining of shortages have not even fully vaccinated their frontline workers.
That may not be entirely true. Vaccine shortages seem to be a reality in some states who have managed to vaccinate quickly, according to Oommen C Kurian of the Observer Research Foundation, a Delhi-based think tank.
He told me that the shortage might be triggered by a "mismatch between the claimed production capacity of Indian vaccine makers and the actual produced doses over the last four months or so".
