According to IIT officials, the base price of the the RT-PCR assay developed by IIT Delhi is Rs 399

Professed to be the world's most moderate analytic pack for coronavirus, a minimal effort test unit created by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in New Delhi was propelled on Wednesday.

As indicated by IIT authorities, the base cost of the RT-PCR measure created by IIT Delhi is Rs 399. Significantly in the wake of including the RNA confinement and research center charges, the expense per test will go up to Rs 650 and will be extensively less expensive contrasted with at presently accessible units in the market. It can convey results inside three hours.
