As per reports, the city will receive the Sputnik V doses as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. To administer these doses, five government facilities have been set up in Gurgaon. These are at Sector 31 Polyclinic, Wazirabad Primary Healthcare Centre, Pataudi Civil Hospital, Sohna Civil Hospital, and Sector 10 Civil Hospital.

This latest development has nullified reports that the rollout of this Russian vaccine at several private hospitals in the NCR region has been delayed again.
