Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya will launch a song and an audio-visual film at the Red Fort in Delhi around noon to "celebrate the landmark milestone", his ministry said.

The country has already injected 998.5 million doses, nearly 90 per cent of them the AstraZeneca vaccine produced locally by the Serum Institute of India.

"I appeal to all unvaccinated Indians to quickly get their shots and contribute to our historic golden vaccination journey," Mr Mandaviya said on Twitter.
