Rapid RT-PCR test pricing will be capped at ₹1,975 at Mumbai International Airport Limited, said the Maharashtra public health department. This comes after multiple complaints about MIAL charging as high as ₹4,500
The rates have been capped after a detailed assessment by IRS officer Dr Sudhakar Shinde.
