Without lockdown, India's cases would have been nearly 9X

When PM Modi announced a total lockdown exactly a month ago, there were around 500 Covid-19 cases in India. The average daily growth in cases was 21.6% on March 24, which has since dropped to 8.1%. Had India continued to grow at 21.6%, the number of cases would have crossed 2 lakh by now.
