Government on all levels wanting to appear more competent then they actually are?

That was my first thought as well but wouldn't that same logic apply to other countries as well? If not, why is this intentional suppression of COVID cases happening in India and not other countries like the United States and United Kingdom? At what point does the comparison of COVID cases between countries become meaningless as a result of countries manipulating the data they report?

I suspect this is to do with the probability of getting away with data manipulation and the consequences of getting caught.
