This claim cannot be verified because this was an opinion expressed by Dr. Ramanan during an interview.Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan, director of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics, and Policy, told BBC that if the same mathematical models applied in the US or UK were applied to India, then India could be dealing with more cases. He had revised his worst-case scenario that the country could be dealing with about 300 million cases, of which about four to five million could be severe.

Currently, India has reported around a million cases of Coronavirus as of July 21, but whether the total count would reach 300 million is unverifiable.
