VACCINE UPDATE
Indian experience shows that states with high per capita GDP have been associated with higher COVID-19
deaths per million, while low per capita GDP are associated with low COVID-19 deaths. Bihar, Jharkhand,
UP, Assam, Odisha, Rajasthan all have low per capita income and low deaths per million. At the same time,
Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh have high per capita income
and high deaths per million
Pace of vaccination in India picked up recently after the Centre changed the vaccination strategy. The country
is now receiving more than 40 lakh vaccination doses per day as shown by 7D MA
The cases are now hovering around 45,000 from the past 7 days. In the first wave as well, the cases declined
gradually, with cases above 45,000 for around 21 days before any meaningful decline in daily cases
Certain States like Rajasthan, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala and Uttarakhand have already given
vaccine double dose to larger percentage of population above 60 years. Total vaccine doses as % of
population above 60 years is more than 100% for these states, implying double dose to many
Overall vaccination in rural areas remains low. Certain States like Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra
Pradesh Uttarakhand and Rajasthan have vaccinated greater proportion of rural population when
compared to others
The beginning of the 2nd wave, however, has resulted in significant deposit outflows from banking system in
alternated fortnights, the pace of which has now again moderated
One of the worrying features is the increase in household stress. Household debt (after taking into
account retail loans, crop loans and business loans from financial institutions, viz., commercial
banks, credit societies, NBFCs, HFCs etc.) has sharply increased to 37.3% of GDP in FY21 from 32.5%
of GDP in FY20
• The decline in bank deposits in FY21 and the concomitant increase in health expenditure may result in further increase in
household debt to GDP in FY22
India’s household debt to GDP ratio is still lower than other countries, though we need to supplement wage
income as a percentage of GDP that has been declining. If we proxy employee expenses as wage income,
as % of corporate GVA for our sample of 3973 listed companies, it has come down to 30.6% in FY21 from
34.1% in FY20

COVID-19: The Global Landscape
Country-wise data shows that countries with high per capita GDP have been associated with
higher COVID-19 deaths per million, while low per capita income countries are associated
with low COVID-19 deaths, revealing high income countries suffered more during the
pandemic
The graph shows that major countries are concentrated in Quadrant IV (High Per Capita
Income & High Deaths) and Quadrant II (Low per Capita Income & Low Deaths)

Israel has vaccinated nearly 60% of its population completely. Even amongst the
children in the age group 12-18 years, 33% have received the first dose and 23.8%
have got the 2 doses
However, the cases have again started increasing since last week of Jun’21 (daily new
cases average of around 250) with 2125 active cases including 50 hospitalised
Thus one can not become complacent even after taking vaccine!
India has started giving more than 40 lakh vaccination doses per day as shown by 7D MA
• As on 3 Jul’21, cumulative doses at 34.5 crore (first dose: 28.3 crore, second dose: 6.2 crore)
The cases are now hovering around 45,000 from the past 7 days, which indicates that the
second wave is not yet over and is clearly exhibiting a fat tail
In the first wave as well, the cases declined gradually, with cases around 45,000 for 21 days
before any meaningful decline in daily cases

Overall, India has fully vaccinated 4.6% of its population, apart from 20.8% having received
one dose. This is still lower than other countries including the US, the UK, Israel, Spain,
France among others
Furthermore, global data shows that on an average third wave peak cases are around 1.7
times the peak cases at the time of second wave
India has achieved its second wave peak on 7 May’21 and going by the current data, India
can experience cases around 10,000 somewhere around 2nd week of July
However, based on historical trends the cases can start rising by second fortnight of Aug’21
with peak cases at least a month later Global Vaccination Per 100 population

New cases in top 15 districts, which are mostly urban, increased again in Jun’21
The share of rural districts in new cases has declined only modestly in Jun’21. This seems to be a cause of
concern since rural areas already have shortage of health infrastructure

PV sales at the dealership level has increased as visible in various companies data
Replacement demand, increase in inventories, apart from a pick up in demand could be the
possible reasons for such an increase. Difficult to separate out which one is more dominant

This indicates that the household financial FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21
savings rate may have gone down in FY21 with
the rise in consumption and health hazards
• The decline in bank deposits in FY21 and the
concomitant increase in health expenditure may
result in further increase in household debt to GDP
in FY22
India household debt to GDP ratio is still lower
than other countries, though we need to
supplement wage income. If we proxy
employee expenses as wage income, as % of
corporate GVA for our sample of 3973 listed
companies, it has come down to 30.6% in FY21
from 34.1% in FY20. Meanwhile, PAT as % of
GVA has significantly grown from 13.4% in FY20
to 23.7% in FY21
