Do people in Mumbai get Covid-19 positivity tests for free? If not, then I'd be surprised if all of the 18 million people in Mumbai have been able to afford them.

If someone dies without having already tested positive for Covid-19, in many places they won't be counted as having died from Covid-19. So it's likely that many Covid-19 deaths haven't been counted - especially in places where most people can't afford the tests that check whether they currently have Covid-19.
