Derived views — year-on-year, indexed, growth rates — are labelled as derived and are only generated where the underlying series has enough points to make them meaningful. Charts awaiting the ETL backfill are shown explicitly rather than hidden.

MoUs signed in UP defence corridor
lowCount of memoranda of understanding signed with the Uttar Pradesh defence industrial corridor authority, and land allotments made.
170 MoUs converted into 57 land allotments — a conversion rate of roughly one in three. Useful as a reality check on announcement-driven reporting.
Countries receiving Indian defence exports
mediumApproximate count of destination countries for Indian defence exports in a fiscal year.
Reported as 'around 80 countries'. Breadth includes small consignments of parts and ammunition, so country count overstates strategic reach.
National highway network length
highTotal length of roads designated as National Highways by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.
Network length grows partly by building new roads and partly by re-designating existing state highways as national highways. The two are not distinguished in the headline figure, so this series overstates new construction.
National highways constructed per year
highKilometres of national highway completed during the fiscal year.
The honest read: construction peaked at 13,327 km in FY2020-21 and has since plateaued around 10,000-12,000 km a year. The 'record pace' framing does not survive contact with this series.
Access-controlled high-speed corridors and expressways
highLength of access-controlled national high-speed corridors and expressways — the grade-separated, limited-access subset of the network.
This is the most genuinely impressive infrastructure series on the site: a 55-fold increase off a near-zero base in a decade.
Four-lane and above national highways
highLength of national highway with four or more lanes.
Lane-width upgrades matter more for freight throughput than raw network length. This series has grown faster than total network length, which is the right direction.
Operational airports
mediumCount of airports and airstrips in India handling scheduled commercial passenger flights.
Counts drift between releases (157, 159, 160, 163) because 'operational' sometimes includes heliports, water aerodromes and seasonally-served strips. Treat the trend as solid and any single year as ±5.
Airports by classification
mediumBreakdown of operational airports by customs and international designation.
Aerodromes operationalised under UDAN
highCount of airports, heliports and water aerodromes brought into scheduled service under the UDAN regional connectivity scheme since 2016.
UDAN routes inaugurated
mediumCumulative count of regional air routes started under the UDAN scheme.
Cumulative inaugurations, not currently-flying routes. A material share of UDAN routes have been discontinued after their three-year viability-gap subsidy expired — the scheme's central unresolved weakness.
Operational metro rail network
highTotal length of metro rail in revenue service across Indian cities.
India passed 1,000 km in October 2025 to become the third-largest metro network in the world, behind China and the United States.
Cities with operational metro rail
highCount of Indian cities with a metro system in revenue service.
Daily metro rail ridership
mediumAverage daily passenger journeys across all operational Indian metro systems.
Ridership grew 4x while network length grew 4.1x — meaning average passengers per kilometre has been flat. New lines are not, on average, as well used as the old ones.
Cargo handled at major ports
highTotal cargo throughput at India's centrally-administered major ports in a fiscal year.
Cargo handled at all ports
mediumTotal cargo throughput across both major and non-major (state) ports.
Non-major ports have grown faster than major ports over the period, driven largely by private terminals on the west coast.
Total port capacity
mediumInstalled annual cargo handling capacity across major and non-major ports.
Capacity (2,817 MTPA) runs well ahead of throughput (1,668 MT) — utilisation near 59%. Headroom is healthy; it also means further capacity spending has weak near-term returns.
Average vessel turnaround time at major ports
mediumMean time a vessel spends in port from arrival to departure.
Genuine operational gain, and one of the few Indian logistics metrics that now beats several developed-economy averages.
Total exports (goods + services)
highCombined merchandise and services exports for the fiscal year, as reported by the Department of Commerce.
FY2024-25 was first reported at $820.93 bn and later revised to $825.26 bn as late services returns came in. Services export data is estimated monthly and revised for up to a year.
Merchandise exports
highValue of physical goods exported during the fiscal year.
Effectively flat in FY2025-26. This is the clearest single sign that 'Make in India' has not yet converted into export competitiveness in goods.
Services exports
highValue of services exported during the fiscal year, including software, business and financial services.
India's genuine global strength. Telecom/computer/information services alone were $206.6 bn — about 49% of services exports.
Services exports by segment
highBreakdown of services export value by major category, FY2025-26.
GDP, nominal
mediumGross domestic product at current market prices in US dollars.
India is the 5th largest economy by nominal GDP as of 2025, behind the US, China, Germany and Japan — not 4th, a claim that circulates widely but did not hold at the time of verification.
ISRO launch missions, cumulative
mediumCumulative count of ISRO launch vehicle missions flown since the SLV programme began in 1979.
The 100th mission was reached in January 2025, 46 years after the first launch.
ISRO launch cadence by era
mediumAverage launch missions per year across two distinct eras of the Indian space programme.
A roughly 4x increase in launch tempo. Still an order of magnitude below China (60+ orbital launches a year) and SpaceX alone.
