My impression is that Chinese and Indian stats seems to be intractable for different reasons (China because they fake every number they can, India because they have a hard time collecting them).

I believe the Indian government has been meticulously (under-)reporting them. There are government websites that are updated daily with this information. That is likely not the reason. But I'd prefer to attribute this omission to foolishness/laziness rather than malice (once again).
