India administered more than 10 million doses on Tuesday, as it ramps up its vaccination drive to stave off a third wave of infections.
It has so far given more than 650 million doses of three approved vaccines.
The government aims to vaccinate all Indians by the end of this year.
India took 19 days to administer the last 100 million doses, compared to 85 days to give the first 100 million jabs, the government said.
But only about 16% of eligible adults have been fully vaccinated since the beginning of the drive in January.
Regional disparities persist as well with larger and poorer states lagging behind smaller and richer states.
India has reported more than 32 million Covid cases, second only to the US. The country is also only the third in the world to record more than 400,000 deaths - behind the US and Brazil.
How is India's rollout going?
Since 16 January, India has administered more than 650 million doses.
Some 502 million people have received the first dose and another 149 million or so have received both doses so far.
India gave 5.9 million jabs on an average every day in August, compared to 4.3 million daily jabs in July.
Experts say India needs to administer more than 10 million doses a day consistently to fully inoculate all eligible adults by the end of this year.
Much will depend on levels of vaccine hesitancy and the availability of doses in the coming months.
India's daily case count has been dropping - it has been reporting less than 40,000 new daily cases in the past month and most of them from the southern state of Kerala.
But doctors say that a third wave is likely given that the country has fully reopened even as the threat of new variants looms large.
While the vaccination drive has gained momentum, experts worry about a gender gap - government data shows 6% fewer women are getting vaccinated. This is especially true in rural India where women have limited access to the internet and are hesitant or scared to take the vaccine.
Although a higher number of doses are being administered daily in rural areas, the share of population being vaccinated in urban areas is still greater.
Most countries, especially those in the developing world, have struggled to access vaccines - a challenge that India, as the world's largest vaccine maker, didn't expect to face.
But Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government didn't place orders from vaccine makers early enough - and a devastating second wave in April pushed them to expand the drive too quickly to the entire adult population, which is nearly a billion.
In June, the government told the Supreme Court that 1.35 billion doses will become available between August and December. It would take about 1.8 billion doses to vaccinate all eligible adults in India.
Which vaccines is India using?
India is using three vaccines - the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab, known locally as Covishield; Covaxin by Indian firm Bharat Biotech; and Russian-made Sputnik V.
India recently gave boost to its vaccination programme by approving its first vaccine for those under 18.
The three-dose ZyCoV-D vaccine prevented symptomatic disease in 66% of those vaccinated, according to an interim study quoted by the vaccine maker Cadila Healthcare. The ZyCoV-D vaccine is also the world's first DNA vaccine against Covid-19.
The government has also authorised Indian pharma company Cipla to import Moderna's vaccine, which has shown nearly 95% efficacy against Covid-19. But it's not clear yet how many doses will be made available to India.
Several more vaccines are in various stages of approval.
Vaccination is voluntary. More than 57,000 centres, mostly state-run, are offering jabs, but people can also pay for a dose at private facilities.
The government is spending around $5bn to provide free doses at state-run clinics, public health centres and hospitals
