The Health Ministry reported 90,123 new cases for the previous 24 hours on Wednesday, raising the nation's confirmed total to 5,020,359.
India's confirmed coronavirus case total has crossed five million and is still soaring, testing the country's feeble health care system in tens of thousands of impoverished towns and villages.
It reported a record daily high of 97,570 cases on 11 September and has added more than 1 million this month. India's fatality rate is 1.6 per cent, far lower than 3 per cent each in the United States and Brazil, according to the Johns Hopkins Medicine and University.
