The story is a legitimate link, but my suspicion was correct. Converting 200 million rupees per day comes to 4.5 million dollars per day. coinmill.com
This is a better link and comes in around the 4 million a day neighborhood. The 2 million mentioned in the link address seems to be the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel only.

OBAMA WORLD TRAVEL Inc. shows you the way to India vacation savings!
What if you are an American, and you and your friends want to visit India ... but you can only scrape together $3.88 million a day? President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will show you how to have fun on a small budget!
From November 6th through 9th, 2010, for four days and three nights, the Obamas are taking at least 1,400 of their closest friends - plus 200 U.S. corporate C.E.O. 'hangers-on' - to India for just $3.88 million dollars per day.
Now you and about 1,600 friends and family members can travel to India, just like America's First Family! Experience the same excitement, bewilderment and luxury accomodations as President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama enjoy, while you delight in the travel savings that only the President and his entourage could have experienced until today! But now, OBAMA WORLD TRAVEL has cut out the 'middlemen' and we can pass along all of the savings to YOU ... and up to 1,600 of your favorite family members, friends, political supporters and nameless acquaintances!
Your travel group is going to visit the mysterious, unique and magnificent destinations in oriental Mumbai (aka Bombay) and New Delhi, India. You and your friends, too, can delight to the exotic lands of the former British Raj. Best of all, every one of your 1,600 of your friends can stay in a 5-star hotel suite or room ... all for only 3.88 million dollars a day!
When a Teleconference - or a Secretary of State visit - isn't enough: Why not visit the Indian sub-continent?
You get all of this in your fantastic India Vacation Tour Package, sponsored by Obama World Travel! The expense for this heavenly four day and five night (includes two preceding days and nights to sweep all rooms and suites for 'bugs', bombs and poisons, of course) guided tour will include all of the luxuries listed below, for you and your 1,600 friends, family, political supporters, corporate C.E.O.s, body guards, fellow travelers, co-workers, personal care aides and nameless acquaintances:
(1) YOU and your family (or your "special someone") will stay in the 'Presidential Suite' at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, a 5-star lodging that is reputed to be the VERY FINEST of the over 350 hotels in the greater Mumbai metropolitan area! As will Barack and Michelle Obama - and their children - stay in the Presidential Suite during their November 6 - 9, 2010 vacation / trade mission to India! The cost for this classiest of bedroom suites, both for your group and Barack Obama's entourage, will be $7,000 per night - just $35,000 for 5 nights! *
(2) Your most important friends, family, political supporters, etc., won't be forgotten - not by a long shot - and certainly not by Obama World Travel! There are another 44 suites available in the 5-star Taj Mahal Palace, that you can award to your closest friends, family, political supporters, etc. - and anyone else you want to "Wow!". For an average regular price of approximately $3,000 per night, per suite, you will surely impress your guests with your exquisite taste and elegance. "Wow", indeed! Just $660,000 for 5 nights!
(3) But, what about everyone else in your 1,600 person entourage? There are 521 other lodging rooms at the 5-star Taj Mahal Palace, and every last one of them is yours'! In fact, the six fine cuisine restaurants within the Taj Mahal Palace are all exclusively available to the 1,600 members of your travel party, during your fours days and five nights of adventure in Mumbai! Can we say, "Wow!". These rooms average $338 per night, per room, plus numerous taxes, but with your generous group discount you will only have to pay a total of ... $176,098 per night. So, all 521 of these hotel rooms, for five nights due to security precautions, are ... just $880,490 for 5 nights!
(4) Unfortunately, even with two persons to every room and suite, there will still be 466 friends, family, political supporters, etc., without rooms or suites, at the above -star lodgings. Tres terrible! Never fear, for we here at Obama World Travel have lined up 233 rooms at two other 5-star hotels in the Mumbai area! The 5-star Taj President Hotel has 133 rooms available, at a discount rate of $338 per room, per night. Finally, 200 of your least favorite, greedy (and boring) corporate Chief Executive Officers - plus everyone else's children and pets- can stay at the 5-star Taj Land's End! These rooms average only $315 per night, per double occupancy room, but our huge package savings ensure that these 233 rooms will save you plenty of money - just $382,270 for 5 nights!
(5) Of course, food and beverage costs can be hard to estimate, especially on a daily group basis in a country known for it's fine cuisine! (But, even in America, this can be hard to estimate. For example, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi takes private jet trips, at taxpayer expense, between Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, CA. Within this 2,441 mile flying distance, Speaker Pelosi - and up to 12 of her guests - can consume an average of about $500 per one-way trip, in fine foods and fine liquors, according to the U.S. Air Force. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force pilot and co-pilot, sharing the same flights as Speaker Pelosi - except that they're up in the cockpit, of course - are consuming about $8 apiece in cold sandwiches, coffee and soda pop. Can you see what we mean by 'hard to estimate' food costs?) Anyway, assuming $100 a day, per person, for fine food and local beverages, is pretty typical for an elite group of American tourists. That's a mere cost of $160,000 per day for each group member - just $640,000 total for 4 days!
