The Maharashtra government has once again slashed the price of the RT-PCR test at Mumbai airport. The price has been brought down from Rs 4,500 to Rs 3,900 and finally, now to Rs 1,975.

The notification regarding the price drop will be issued today and airport authorities will be informed.

Mumbai airport had the highest RT-PCR rates and this was burning a hole in the wallets of passengers, especially those who were from the same group or family.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra reported 684 new Covid-19 cases, 686 recoveries, and 24 deaths in the last 24 hours, said the state health bulletin on Tuesday. 8 more patients were found infected with Omicron in the state on Tuesday.
