In 2025, India collected 15.71 million units of blood, while China collected 25.5 million units, according to China’s National Health Commission.The data, reported by blood centres through the government’s e-Raktakosh portal, show that expiry was the leading reason for discarding blood components, followed by reactive units and other operational reasons. Reason-wise discard data has been captured on the portal since 2024, while such details were not available for 2023.Replying to a question in Parliament, the Union health ministry, however, said it had not received any report of regional blood shortages. It added that ensuring an adequate supply of safe blood and minimising wastage is primarily the responsibility of state governments and Union Territories, while the Centre advocates a hub-and-spoke model under which blood is collected and processed at high-volume centres before being distributed to smaller blood banks and storage centres.According to the data, Uttar Pradesh recorded the highest blood collection in 2025 with 21.6 lakh units, followed by Maharashtra (18.73 lakh), Gujarat (11.82 lakh), Rajasthan (10.79 lakh) and Tamil Nadu (9.74 lakh). Overall blood collection increased from 1.42 crore units in 2023 to 1.58 crore units in 2025.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe annexure also showed a corresponding increase in blood component utilisation, with Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan reporting the highest utilisation during 2025.At the same time, Uttar Pradesh reported the highest discard of blood components at 2.40 lakh, followed by Maharashtra (1.87 lakh), Kerala (1.44 lakh), Rajasthan (1.21 lakh) and Tamil Nadu (1.09 lakh). The ministry did not provide an analysis of the wide variation in discard across states.Dr Hema Goyal, Consultant (Blood centre & Lab services), Aakash healthcare said blood wastage is inevitable to some extent, particularly because platelets have a shelf life of only five days. But discarding 17.4 lakh blood components in a year points to a mismatch between collection and actual demand. The solution is not fewer donations but smarter inventory management through real-time stock sharing and better coordination between blood banks.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

An MP said PM Modi articulated the idea of a strong and stable NDA government at the Centre which is also catering to regional aspirations by joining hands with regional forces and satraps.Some Muslim MPs in the breakaway TMC faction, including Yusuf Pathan and Abu Taher Khan, who had raised eyebrows by keeping away from NDA parliamentary party meetings, were also present in the interaction.The PM spoke of the importance of eastern India and said his government has been working to boost the region’s growth. “We are overwhelmed by his knowledge and his treatment of us. He told us whether someone is in the NDA for 20 years or one, everyone is our family,” rebel TMC MP Kakoli Ghose Dastidar said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesHarbhajan Singh, who was in AAP, said PM Modi asked them to attend Parliament regularly and understand its functioning by acquainting themselves with its rules and history.
