Data corrections and updates
Every data change on this site, newest first — what was wrong, what it is now, and the source that settled it. Entries marked “Reviewed, unchanged” are cases where we looked and deliberately did not change a figure, with the reason. A project that documents a government's record has to be correctable in public. See also the methodology.

GIFT City banking assets: $111 billion in March 2026
The GIFT City page ended at $88.5 billion of IFSC Banking Unit assets in March 2025, with a November 2025 PIB figure of $100.14 billion alongside. IFSCA's bulletin for January–March 2026 reports total outstanding assets of $111 billion as of March 2026, on the same basis as the chart, so the chart, headline figure, tile and text now run to March 2026 and the page links that bulletin. The $100.14 billion figure was for September 2025 and is superseded, so it has been removed. In the same monthly check, the pages for foodgrains, millets, dairy, road construction, patents, poverty, irrigation and banking, the railways map, and the planned deep-ocean dive and Gaganyaan crewed flight were checked; no newer official figure on the same basis was found, so they are unchanged.

Milestone timelines on 22 pages that have no official yearly series
Twenty-two sector pages had no chart, because no official year-by-year series exists for them, and showed a note saying so. Each now shows eight dated milestones since 2014 in its place, every one taken from an official source such as PIB, a ministry, a Cabinet decision, a reply in Parliament, ISRO or the RBI. Where an official source has announced a dated target, one milestone is shown last and marked as planned; it is not counted as reached. Checking these milestones also corrected five page details: the homepage metro counter now gives 1,095 km (PIB, March 2026) instead of an unsourced 1,013 km; an unsourced claim about shipbuilding output in 2025 was removed; the Galathea Bay port cost is now ₹44,313 crore (August 2024) and its first phase is given as 2025–35; the medical-device PLI plants figure is dated to a Lok Sabha reply of March 2026; and the handicrafts page gives 445 handicraft products registered under the GI Act (December 2025, PIB) instead of 318.

Howrah–Jamalpur Vande Bharat restored to the map
Railway Board coaching circulars confirm the Howrah–Jamalpur service: circular 313/2024 of 12 September 2024 introduced a Vande Bharat service between Howrah and Bhagalpur, and circular 150/2025 of 28 July 2025 extended 22309/22310 Howrah–Bhagalpur Vande Bharat up to Jamalpur. The route is shown from 2024, and the map now has 74 routes. The Udaipur City–Asarva service is still left out: a circular of 2 March 2026 shows it in operation, but no circular recording its introduction was found.

Vande Bharat map rebuilt from official records; evaluative wording removed
Railways: the Vande Bharat map was drawn from a list compiled on Wikipedia. It is now built from the Ministry of Railways reply in the Lok Sabha of 22 July 2026 (PIB), which lists the services in operation, with each route's starting year taken from PIB flag-off releases, Railway Board circulars and replies in Parliament. The map shows 73 routes, down from 76: a duplicate Mysuru–Chennai line was removed, Katra–Srinagar is now shown as Jammu–Srinagar, where those services run, and two routes whose introduction date could not be confirmed from an official source are left out until it is. No route's year changed. Separately, the word 'booming' was removed from the IT services, oil refining, patents and creative economy pages, where it described growth without a figure.

Automobiles and IT services now rest on official sources; vaccination and chemicals figures checked
Two pages relied on industry bodies. Automobiles: the chart and headline used SIAM's yearly production totals, which no Government source publishes. The page now headlines the Ministry of Heavy Industries figure, around 31 million vehicles produced in 2024-25, up from 2 million in 1991-92, with the Economic Survey 2025-26 figures of nearly 33% production growth from 2014-15 to 2024-25 and more than 5.3 million vehicles exported in 2024-25; the chart is hidden, and jobs are now given as around 3 crore (Ministry of Heavy Industries) instead of 3.5 crore. IT and software services: the headline of $246 billion was an IBEF/NASSCOM estimate. The page now uses the Reserve Bank of India's annual survey of software services exports, US$ 82.0 billion in 2014-15 to US$ 204.7 billion in 2024-25, and every chart point is RBI's published figure. COVID vaccination: the 2021 point is confirmed at 145 crore doses on 31 December 2021 (PIB); no official total for the end of 2022 was found, so that point is removed. Chemicals: DCPC's 2025 statistics revise major chemicals production in 2023-24 from 12,976 to 12,979 thousand tonnes. Oil refining: no 2026 official statement of the number of refineries was found beyond PIB's 22 operational refineries, so the count is unchanged.

Pages with year-old figures checked against the newest official releases; dates and source links added
Forty-four pages whose figures were more than a year old were checked against the newest official releases. Updated: foodgrain production, 376.56 million tonnes in 2025-26 (third advance estimates); millets, 175.84 lakh tonnes in 2025-26 (third advance estimates); pharmaceutical exports, US$ 31.12 billion in 2025-26; textile exports, with the 2025-26 rupee figure; milk availability, 485 grams a day in 2024-25; seafood exports, ₹73,890.46 crore in 2025-26; a revised 2023-24 chemicals figure; electronics production, an estimated ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, with mobile phone exports up 165-fold; GST, about ₹22.27 lakh crore excluding cess in 2025-26 and 1.65 crore taxpayers in May 2026; Jan Suraksha enrolments, more than 94.5 crore across the three schemes in April 2026; national highways, 1,46,572 km in 2025-26; PMGSY, 1,62,876 habitations and 7,97,020 km by July 2026; coal, 1,040.83 million tonnes (provisional) in 2025-26; refining capacity, 267.1 MMTPA on 1 April 2026; internet subscribers, 1,092.79 million in March 2026; and school education from UDISE+ 2025-26. Dated facts were added on disaster management, the third OROP revision, military space and defence cyber. Pages with no newer official figure are unchanged. An unsourced claim of 2.5 million electronics jobs, credited to an industry body, was removed. Separately, 22 pages gained a date for the figures shown, 8 pages gained a main source link, and the railways page and one road-corridor fact now cite PIB instead of Wikipedia.

Inflation target review, UPS deadline, Seeds Bill status and Agniveer total checked and added
Facts marked for re-checking were checked against official sources. Monetary policy: on 25 March 2026 the Central Government retained the 4% CPI inflation target and its 2–6% band for April 2026 to March 2031 (RBI); the page had stopped at the 2021 review. Pensions: the page now gives the deadline for opting into the Unified Pension Scheme, 30 November 2025 for existing employees and past retirees and 30 days from joining for new recruits (PFRDA); no official count of employees who opted has been published. New Parliament: the 888 and 384 seats were confirmed, and the joint-session capacity of up to 1,272 seats is added (Central Vista project). Seeds: the Seeds Bill is still a draft; none had been introduced in Parliament by the end of the Monsoon Session on 13 August 2026. Agnipath: the official total of up to 1.5 lakh Agniveers enrolled by February 2025 is added (PIB), and the December 2023 training figure is now attributed to the Ministry of Defence. The Labour Codes page was checked and needed no change.

Port turnaround time corrected; sectors without an official series taken off Compare
Ports: the page said average ship turnaround fell from 93 hours to under 50 hours, 'now among the world's better rates'. PIB (June 2026) gives 94 hours to 48.8 hours; the page now uses that and drops the unsourced ranking. Compare: sectors that show no chart because no official year-by-year series exists, such as metro rail and the dedicated freight corridors, could still be picked on the Compare page, which drew their unofficial yearly points. They are no longer offered there. The unsourced metro-rail point for 2026 (1,077 km) has been removed, and the freight-corridor points for 2019 and 2020 (280 and 640 km) are now zero, since no section was commissioned before December 2020. The About page now gives airports as 74 to 165.

Vaccine Maitri, port capacity, airports, tribal schools, Mudra and CDS wording corrected
Vaccine Maitri: the Humanitarian Missions and Soft Power pages said vaccines went to '100+ nations', much of it as grants. The MEA's table gives 3,012 lakh doses supplied by June 2023, of which grants were about 5%; PIB says nearly 100 countries, including free vaccines to 48. The pages now give those figures. Ports: 1,630 MMTPA is major-port capacity as of March 2024, not 2025, and 2,762 MMTPA is capacity across all Indian ports; both are now labelled. Airports: operational airports stood at 165 on 15 July 2026, up from 163 in 2025. Tribal welfare: 728 Eklavya schools are approved, 723 sanctioned and 499 functional (April 2026); the page gave 728 in one place and 723 in another. Mudra: 'nearly half of beneficiaries' from SC, ST and OBC communities is replaced by the official 2024-25 figures, 45.52% of loan accounts and 31.77% of the amount disbursed. Make in India: the electronics headline now names its years, 2014-15 to 2024-25. The Chief of Defence Staff post is dated 24 December 2019, without calling it a landmark reform.

Data protection rollout added; Insurance & Pension refocused as Jan Suraksha Schemes; several figures corrected
Data Protection: the page said a four-member Data Protection Board was set up in November 2025. The DPDP Rules published that month bring duties in stages, over one year for consent managers and 18 months for most other duties; the Board consists of a Chairperson and four other Members, and applications for those posts were invited on 6 May 2026. Insurance & Pension now covers what it always did, the three Jan Suraksha schemes, under that name, with February 2026 enrolments and claims and 9,29,47,723 Atal Pension Yojana enrolments (June 2026); the insurance market and NPS have their own new pages. Its unsourced claims that only about a fifth of Indians had insurance in 2015, and that premiums are debited from Jan Dhan accounts (it is the subscriber's bank account), were removed. Other corrections: R&D spending is 0.84% of GDP (2023-24), not ~0.65%; horticulture output is 370.7 MT (2024-25 final); India imports rare-earth magnets but no rare-earth minerals were imported over ten years; about 95% of trade by volume and 70% by value moves by sea, not 90%; biotech start-ups rose from 5,365 (2021) to 13,000 (2025); and Mission Shakti is described as the Ministry of Defence did, without the unverified 'fourth country' claim.

Every figure comes from an official source and was checked word for word against a saved copy. A chart appears only where an official year-by-year series exists; other pages show dated timelines.

Three contested laws are not covered
A complete record of the decade's legislation would include the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code and the Waqf (Amendment) Act. They are deliberately left out. Each remains genuinely contested, and none has an official measure of outcomes that a site built on sourced figures, counters and charts could present fairly. This is an editorial decision, not a judgement on the laws, and it will be reviewed if official outcome data becomes available.

Thirty new sectors fill gaps in the decade record
Added: the structural reforms behind figures the site already publishes — the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, RERA, the four Labour Codes, disinvestment and asset monetisation, infrastructure financing, and the inflation-targeting framework; energy and environment — hydropower, the national grid, energy storage, compressed biogas, the National Clean Air Programme and urban waste; connectivity — inland waterways, ropeways, electric buses, FASTag and aircraft maintenance; justice and governance — the new Parliament building, the 2019 triple talaq law, e-Courts, police and prison reform, anti-narcotics and Panchayati Raj; and the Northeast peace accords, persons with disabilities, senior citizens, Scheduled Castes, minority welfare, Indian languages and the return of stolen antiquities. Every figure comes from an official source and was checked word for word against a saved copy; a chart appears only where an official year-by-year series exists, and pages without one show a dated timeline. Where a new page overlapped an existing one, the older page was trimmed or corrected: Justice & Legal Reform now focuses on the new criminal laws, with court digitisation moved to e-Courts; the women's reservation bill is correctly described as introduced on the first day of sittings in the new Parliament building; and the labour codes, IBC, inland waterways, wind capacity, FAME II and Char Dham ropeway figures were updated.

Trade deals: what '9 FTAs, 38 countries' counts, which are in force, and several corrected figures
The official count of nine FTAs spanning 38 countries since 2021 stays, but the page now says what it includes: the EU agreement, concluded in January 2026 but not yet in force, and the framework for a US interim agreement. Six are in force (PIB, 18 August 2026): Mauritius, UAE, Australia, EFTA, Oman (from 1 June 2026) and the UK (from 15 July 2026). New Zealand was signed on 27 April 2026 and is not yet in force. Figures that differed from official sources were corrected. UAE trade crossed $100 billion in 2024-25; it did not 'nearly double to $100 billion' (it nearly doubled to $83.7 billion by 2023-24). The UK goal is to double about $56 billion of trade by 2030, not '$112 billion' or '$100 billion'. The EU deal covers 97% of EU tariff lines, not '90% of tariffs', and trade is $136.5 billion in goods and $83.1 billion in services, not 'over €180 billion'. EFTA's $100 billion is an aim over 15 years, not a pledge. Claims with no official source were removed: the UK deal as India's 'first with a G7 nation', 'FTA utilisation 5-25%', the EU deal as the 'largest ever', EU talks 'opened in 2007', and RCEP left over 'China-competition fears' (the official reason was that it did not address India's outstanding concerns). Sri Lanka was removed from the 2005–2011 wave, as its FTA took effect in 2000, and Malaysia (2011) added. The hidden chart's values had no source and were removed.

Older figures left on related pages brought into line with recent corrections
A check of every recent correction found places where the old figure still appeared in a tile, a section, a story or a related sector's page. These now match the corrected, sourced figures: Jan Dhan accounts 59.21 crore with ₹3,17,122 crore in deposits (September 2026), not about 55 crore and ₹2.7 lakh crore; Lakhpati Didis 3.46 crore (July 2026), against a target now raised to 6 crore, not a 3 crore target; DPIIT-recognised startups over 2.12 lakh (January 2026); defence exports to over 80 countries, not '80–100+' or 'over 100'; highway building at 29.2 km a day in 2024-25 (peak 36.5 in 2020-21), not 34, and a network of 1,46,204 km (March 2025); logistics costs at 7.97% of GDP (2023-24), replacing a 'toward 9–10%' aim; rail electrification by route km (21,801 → 69,873; 99.6% of broad gauge) instead of an unsourced '~40%' in 2014; the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 outlay of ₹8.69 lakh crore, not the 2019 ₹2.08 lakh crore; forex reserves at a record $785.7 billion (4 September 2026), not about $700 billion; 13 → 21 IIMs, not 20; bio-economy growth of 19.5 times (2014 → 2025), not 16; GST registrations over 1.5 crore, not 1.4 crore; UDAN at 663 routes and 95 airports, heliports and water aerodromes (March 2026), not 'over 600' and 'around 90'; India Post Payments Bank customers over 12 crore, not 11 crore. On the Anti-Corruption page, 'DBT leakage savings' of ₹3.5 lakh crore came from a private assessment, not the government; it is replaced by the DBT Mission's estimate of about ₹5.14 lakh crore saved by DBT and related reforms up to March 2025, across 320 schemes. Mismatches on the GDP page were also found and are left for a later review.

Justice & Legal Reform: headline is now 753 crore+ digitised court pages; two unsourced claims corrected
The headline was 'IPC → BNS', which is accurate but not a figure. It is now the official count the page already linked: over 753 crore pages of court records digitised (PIB, 7 August 2026). The new criminal laws, in force since 1 July 2024, are still listed on the page. Two claims were not found in any official source. The first said the criminal justice process would be 'fully digital via ICJS by 1 January 2027'; the page now gives the Home Minister's December 2023 statement that records of all cases would be digitised by 2027. The second said e-FIRs are filed 'via CCTNS'; this was dropped. Forensics is now described precisely as mandatory for offences punishable with 7 years or more, not for 'serious offences'. The '2027 fully digital justice' tile is replaced by 4.18 crore court hearings held by video conferencing. The chart had been hidden earlier, but its invented values were still stored; they have been removed.

Media, Cinema & OTT: official source linked; unsourced figures removed
The headline of Rs 2.78 lakh crore (2025) stays, but it was linked to a consultancy's newsroom page. It now links the PIB release that carries the same FICCI-EY figure, and says plainly that it is an industry estimate. Several figures had no official source and were removed: '~15% CAGR' for OTT, '52%' of OTT originals in regional languages, '$1.1 billion' in WAVES deals, '3,100 companies' at WAVES (the official count is 300+ companies and 350 startups), and growth of '8-10% a year'. They are replaced with official figures: 3,455 feature films certified by CBFC in 2024-25; over 106 crore broadband subscriptions (TRAI, March 2026, up from '80 crore'); WAVES 2025 drew over 1 lakh participants from 100+ countries and MoUs worth Rs 8,000 crore; WAVES OTT has over 84 lakh users. The page no longer calls WAVES 2025 the 'first' summit or says digital is 'overtaking television', as the official releases say neither. The hidden chart's 2014–2024 values had no source and were removed.

Health: medical colleges 387 → 808, a chart of official counts only, and newer health outcomes
The headline now uses the newest official count: medical colleges doubled from 387 in 2013-14 to 808 in 2025-26, with 1,23,700 MBBS seats (PIB, September 2025), up from 780. The chart had year-by-year values for 2015–2018, 2020–2021 and 2024 that no official source gives, and two of them (529 and 542) did not match the official 502 for 2018-19. It now shows only the six official counts. Older figures in the text were also updated: Ayushman Arogya Mandirs from about 1.77 lakh to 1,82,944 (December 2025); life expectancy from about 71 to 70.6 years (2020-24); infant mortality from about 27 to 24 per 1,000 live births (2024); maternal mortality from about 93 to 87 per lakh live births (2022-24). The old public health spending figure of 2.1% of GDP was a budget estimate for 2022-23; the page now gives the National Health Accounts figure of 1.43% of GDP (2022-23). The '55 crore beneficiaries' tile now says 55 crore eligible, as the official note does. The private-care sentence now says most outpatient illness is treated privately, and gives out-of-pocket spending as 43.4% of total health spending (2022-23). The page links the PIB release.

Digital rupee: headline is again a user count — 1 crore retail users (April 2026)
On 14 September the headline moved from about 60 lakh users to the 19 banks offering wallets, because the RBI annual report giving the user figure could not be opened for checking. A newer user count is published on readable official pages: at its press conference of 8 April 2026 the RBI said the retail e-rupee has 1 crore users, with nearly 15 crore transactions worth about ₹34,000 crore. That is now the headline. The page also gives the earlier official counts of 70 lakh users (October 2025) and 82 lakh users with 11 lakh merchants (November 2025), and keeps the 19 banks offering wallets. The 60 lakh figure is still not used, as it remains unverified. The page links the RBI transcript.

Tribal welfare: PM-JANMAN is ₹24,104 crore; Eklavya schools serve tribal-majority blocks, not every tribal block
The page gave PM-JANMAN's outlay as ₹24,000 crore; the Cabinet approved ₹24,104 crore, of which ₹15,336 crore is the Centre's share and ₹8,768 crore the States'. The tribal population was rounded to about 10.4 crore; the official Census 2011 figure is 10.45 crore. The 2018 milestone promised a school in every tribal block; Eklavya Model Residential Schools are meant for blocks with over 50% Scheduled Tribe population and at least 20,000 tribal people, and by April 2026, 723 of the 728 approved schools had been sanctioned and 499 were functional. The Dharti Aaba milestone now gives the mission's 63,843 villages and ₹79,156 crore outlay instead of tens of thousands of villages, and that village count is the new headline, labelled as the mission's coverage. The page links the Ministry of Tribal Affairs reply of 1 April 2026.

Disaster management: cyclone deaths now single or double digits, not a handful; two undated milestones replaced
The page said cyclone deaths had fallen from about 10,000 in 1999 to a handful, or single digits, today. The Ministry of Earth Sciences puts deaths from any cyclone at single or double digits now, with none in Cyclone Biparjoy (2023) and Cyclone Dana (2024); the headline now sets the 1999 toll against those two cyclones, and the source note gives the general figure. The 2019 milestone was titled near-zero-casualty cyclones, but 105 deaths from cyclones and associated floods were reported that year, so it now records only the launch of CDRI at the UN. The 2023 milestone, resilience goes mainstream, was not a dated event and its resilient-infrastructure norms were not found; it now records zero deaths in Cyclone Biparjoy and the NDRF's Operation Dost. The 2016 milestone said the NDRF was expanded that year, which could not be confirmed; it now notes the Prime Minister's Ten-Point Agenda on disaster risk reduction. Unsourced descriptions — one of the world's most disaster-prone countries and lakhs moved to shelters — were removed. The page links the Lok Sabha reply of 23 July 2025.

The timeline's 2022 milestone said BRO built record lengths of strategic road that year; no official source gives such a record (BRO dedicated 103 projects in 2022, one more than in 2021), so it now records Umling La, certified in 2021 as the world's highest motorable road, and the Sela Tunnel's final excavation blast of 22 January 2022. The Sela breakthrough had been placed in 2023. Sela was called the world's longest bi-lane road tunnel above 13,000 ft; the official wording is one of the longest bi-lane road tunnels in the world. Zojila was called Asia's longest road tunnel; officially it is set to be India's longest road tunnel and Asia's longest bi-directional tunnel, and its main tunnel broke through on 9 June 2026. Shinku La was described as planned; construction began in July 2024. The Vibrant Villages Programme covers villages along the northern border, as official texts put it, not the China border, and was extended in 2025 to other land borders. The headline is now the 356 BRO projects dedicated in 2024–2025, and the page links the Ministry of Defence backgrounder of 19 January 2026.

Northeast: rail newly reached one capital, Aizawl; Dhola–Sadiya opened in 2017; AFSPA rollback dated 2022
The page said new rail lines had connected Northeastern state capitals for the first time; in the recent period one capital was newly linked — Aizawl, by the Bairabi–Sairang line in September 2025 — while Imphal and Kohima are targeted for 2028 and 2029. The 2018 milestone grouped Bogibeel with the Dhola–Sadiya bridge, which opened on 26 May 2017 and now has its own entry as India's longest bridge. The 2020 milestone said AFSPA was rolled back in many areas; the major cuts took effect from April 2022 and April 2023, so they now have a 2022 entry. The peace accords tile said 4+; the Home Ministry lists nine accords for 2014–2024. Ministries must spend at least 10% of their budgets in the region, not about 10%. An unsourced claim that over 10 lakh sq km was brought under improved connectivity was removed, and the Hindi outlook, which said something different from the English, now matches it. The headline is now airports in the Northeast, up from 9 in 2014 to 17 in 2026, and the page links PIB's June 2026 backgrounder on the region.

Critical minerals: lithium find and first auction were 2023; an inferred resource, not reserves; 56 blocks auctioned
The timeline placed the lithium find at Reasi and the first critical-mineral auctions in 2024. The Geological Survey reported the lithium on 9 February 2023, and the first auction tranche of 20 blocks opened on 29 November 2023, so both now sit in 2023. The page called the find lithium reserves; officially it is an inferred resource of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium ore, an early-stage estimate. The 2023 law was said to end a state monopoly over critical minerals; it removed lithium and five other minerals from the PSU-only atomic list and let the Centre auction 24 critical minerals. The mission's backing was given as roughly ₹34,000 crore; the Cabinet figure is ₹34,300 crore, of which ₹16,300 crore is government expenditure and ₹18,000 crore expected investment by public-sector companies, and the mission was approved in January 2025 rather than launched. Unsourced claims that India imports almost all these minerals, often from China, and has almost no mining or refining capacity were removed. The headline is now the 56 critical-mineral blocks the Centre had auctioned by June 2026, and new milestones record KABIL's Argentina lithium blocks (2024) and the 2026 auction tally. The page links the Ministry of Mines release of 23 June 2026.

Cooperatives: 8.53 lakh societies and 32 crore members; 63,000 PACS was a target, not done
The page counted around 8 lakh cooperatives and 29 crore members; the National Cooperative Database lists 8,53,430 societies as on 15 July 2026 and the Ministry puts members at about 32 crore, and the society count is now the headline. It also said 63,000 primary agricultural credit societies had been computerised; 63,000 was the 2022 target, and by February 2026 the project covered 79,630 societies sanctioned, with 61,478 on common software. The model bye-laws were circulated in January 2023, so they move from the 2022 milestone to 2023. The 2024 milestone presented the world's largest grain storage as a result; that is the name of the government plan, whose pilot godowns opened in 11 societies in February 2024, with godowns complete in 313 societies by July 2026. A 2025 milestone adds the National Cooperation Policy. The page links the Ministry's Parliament reply of 29 July 2026.

Census: population is officially projected at 142.3 crore, not ~148 crore; chart now shows the official projection
The headline gave India's population as about 148 crore in 2026, labelled a UN estimate. No official source gives that figure. The government's own projection, from the Technical Group on Population Projections set up by the National Commission on Population, puts it at 142.3 crore on 1 March 2026, and that is now the headline, labelled as a projection. The hidden chart points (131 crore in 2014 rising to 148 in 2026) matched no official series; they were replaced by the official annual projection from 2011, when the Census counted 121.1 crore, to 2026, and the chart is shown with that label. India has had no census since 2011. The page gave Census 2027's reference dates as 1 March 2027 and 1 October 2026; a notification of 5 September 2026 adds 5 January 2027 for Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and non-snow-bound Uttarakhand. Self-enumeration was described as via an app; households self-enumerate on an online portal, while enumerators use the app. The page links the projection report.

Quantum: '7th country' claim removed; Amaravati had its foundation stone laid, not an opening
The ₹6,003 crore National Quantum Mission headline is confirmed by the Cabinet's approval of 19 April 2023, which the page now links. The page said the mission made India the 7th country with a dedicated quantum programme; no official source gives that ranking — the government says India is among a select group of nations with such a mission — so the claim was removed from the timeline, intro, facts and two tiles. The 2026 milestone said Amaravati Quantum Valley had opened, anchored by an IBM Quantum System Two, as a national post-quantum cryptography roadmap was published; officially, its foundation stone was laid in February 2026 with IBM and TCS cloud services launched, and none of the other claims were found. The milestone now records that and the 1,000-km quantum network demonstrated in April 2026. The 2025 milestone credited 17 startups and a 64-qubit chip called Kaveri; the startup count was 8 in 2025 and reached 17 only in April 2026, and QpiAI's 64-qubit processor is officially confirmed but not the name.

Semiconductors: ₹1.64 lakh crore across 12 projects; commercial chip production began in 2026, not 2025
The headline ₹1.6 lakh crore was the figure when 10 projects had been approved; with 12 approved, the Cabinet puts cumulative investment at over ₹1.64 lakh crore (July 2026), which is now the headline. The 2025 milestone said Kaynes Semicon shipped India's first commercially produced chips; in 2025 the first Made-in-India chips came from a pilot line, and commercial production began in 2026 — Micron in February, Kaynes in March and CG Semi in July. The page also said Tata's Assam unit was already operational; it has not yet started production. The mission was described as being in a second phase adding a research centre; in July 2026 the Cabinet approved Semicon 2.0 as a separate ₹1,27,500 crore scheme. Vikram 3201 was credited to ISRO's Mohali laboratory and said to have been presented to the Prime Minister at Semicon India 2025; ISRO says it was designed by its Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre with the Semi-Conductor Laboratory, handed over in March 2025 and validated on PSLV-C60. Unsourced details — a 300mm line, a first-silicon target, a collapsed 2007 policy and India importing almost all its chips — were removed. The page links the Cabinet release of 15 July 2026.

Global outreach: BRICS figures now from the New Delhi Declaration — 400+ meetings in 30 cities
Earlier today this page was changed to over 350 BRICS meetings in over 25 cities, the Ministry of External Affairs figure from 27 August 2026, and the adoption of a New Delhi Declaration was removed because no official text had been found. The BRICS New Delhi Declaration of 12 September 2026 is now published by the Ministry and the Prime Minister's Office. It records over 400 meetings and engagements in 30 cities during India's chairship, so the page uses that figure and again notes that leaders adopted the Declaration at the 18th summit.

Data protection: CERT-In rules were 2022; DPDP Rules notified in November 2025
The timeline placed CERT-In's cyber-incident reporting directions in 2021; they are dated 28 April 2022 and require incidents to be reported within 6 hours. The 2025 milestone still described draft rules; the final DPDP Rules were notified in November 2025, when the four-member Data Protection Board of India was also established, with most duties taking effect after 18 months. The page called the DPDP Act India's first comprehensive data-protection law; official texts describe it as a comprehensive framework without calling it the first, so first was removed, and a tile now shows the maximum penalty of ₹250 crore instead. An unsourced figure of a billion Indians online was softened. The page links PIB's November 2025 release on the notified Rules.

Diplomacy: illustrative partnership chart removed; Vaccine Maitri and BRICS figures follow the ministry
The hidden chart counted strategic partnerships rising from 16 in 2014 to 34 in 2025; no official count exists and the points were deleted. Vaccine Maitri was described as reaching 100+ countries; the Ministry of External Affairs table records 3,012 lakh doses supplied as of June 2023, to recipients that include UN health workers, so the page now gives the dose figure. The three Voice of Global South summits were credited with 120+ countries; the ministry records 125 at the first, which the page now states. BRICS 2026 now reads over 400 meetings and engagements in 30 cities, as the New Delhi Declaration records it, and the outlook section, written before the summit, is now in the past tense. A tile showing 6.5% as the fastest-growing major economy was out of date (growth was 7.7% in 2025-26) and is replaced by the BRICS figure.

Drones: Namo Drone Didi's 15,000 groups is a target — 500 drones delivered so far
The page said 15,000 women's self-help groups had been given agri-drones under Namo Drone Didi. 15,000 is the scheme's target; the Agriculture Ministry reports 500 drones delivered under the scheme as of January 2026, out of 1,094 that fertiliser companies distributed. The scheme was approved in November 2023, so its milestone moves from 2024 to 2023. The Drone Rules were described as replacing a 160-page rulebook with a 35-page one; no official source gives page counts, so the milestone now uses the official figures — forms cut from 25 to 5 and fee types from 72 to 4. Seeding was removed from the Kisan Drone uses, and the 2022 milestone now notes the ban on imported drones. The 2026 milestone described simplified beyond-visual-line-of-sight trials, iDEX military drones and counter-drone systems, for which no official source was found; it now records 38,575 registered drones and 39,890 remote pilot certificates (February 2026). The 2030 drone hub is labelled as a vision, the source is no longer given as the Defence Ministry, and the Hindi outlook, which differed from the English, now matches it.

Gaganyaan: 2027 target confirmed; made-up milestone chart and 'fourth country' claim removed
The 2027 target for the first crewed flight is confirmed by the Department of Space's Lok Sabha reply of 5 August 2026, and the page now links it. The hidden chart counted programme milestones year by year (0 in 2018 rising to 6 in 2027); no official count exists and the points were deleted. The astronaut-designates were described as test pilots; officially they are Indian Air Force pilots, named in February 2024, who have completed generic training. The claim that Gaganyaan would make India the fourth country after the US, Russia and China to launch its own astronauts was not found in any official source and was removed. The page now adds the first uncrewed flight's target of late 2026, the ₹20,193 crore approved for eight missions in September 2024, and Shubhanshu Shukla's 18-day mission to the International Space Station in 2025.

PM Gati Shakti: logistics cost is 7.97% of GDP officially, not 13-14%; timeline updated to 2026
The page said India's logistics cost was long stuck near 13-14% of GDP. An NCAER study for DPIIT, released in September 2025, estimates 7.97% of GDP for 2023-24 and says the 13-14% figures came from external studies or partial data. The 2025 milestone described high-speed and economic corridors advancing and a new Gati Shakti University; no official source ties such a corridor milestone to Gati Shakti, and the university was created in 2022. It now records the logistics cost study and the public data platform launched in September 2025, and a 2026 milestone adds the latest official figures: 396 projects worth about ₹18.66 lakh crore evaluated by the Network Planning Group, 256 sanctioned and 198 under implementation. Data layers and ministries now read about 1,800 and 58 (August 2026) instead of 1,600+ and 44+, which were October 2024 figures. The headline is now the 396 projects evaluated.

The 2023 milestone said dozens of cities and thousands of sellers; DPIIT recorded over 6.3 million transactions in November 2023 across 600+ cities, with 2.3 lakh+ sellers and service providers. The 2025 milestone said credit, financial services and creator commerce were running on the network, which no official source confirms; it now records 326 million+ orders processed by October 2025, 18.2 million of them that month. A 2026 milestone notes India Post's first order as a logistics provider. Dozens of cities elsewhere on the page now reads 630+ cities (December 2025). The headline is now the 326 million+ orders.

Islands: no official Rs 72,000 crore total; headline now the planned 14.2 million TEU port
The headline was a Rs 72,000 crore outlay for the Great Nicobar project. No official document gives a total cost: the government's May 2026 backgrounder lists the components without one, and the ports ministry last estimated the port alone at about Rs 44,000 crore (November 2023; the page had the older Rs 41,000 crore). The headline is now the port's planned capacity, 14.2 million TEU, the newest official figure; the page had 16 million, which was the 2023 plan for 2058. The hidden chart of transshipment handled in India had no source and rose year by year while the ministry's figure stayed at nearly 75% handled abroad, so its points were deleted. The Island Development Agency dates from June 2017, not around 2020. Unsourced details were removed or replaced with official wording: 1,300-plus islands, a location beside the Malacca Strait carrying a quarter of world trade (officially about 40 nautical miles from the East-West shipping route), and the project being run by the Andaman administration (the port is planned under the ports ministry on a PPP model). The Hindi explanation of why the islands matter still carried older wording than the English and now matches it. The page links the PIB backgrounder.

Shipbuilding: no official 16th rank; headline now the Rs 69,725 crore package

The headline is now the Rs 69,725 crore shipbuilding and maritime package approved by the Cabinet in September 2025. The top 10 by 2030 and top 5 by 2047 targets stay, now credited to the right documents (the page had named a Maritime India Vision 2047). The hidden chart of the order book in rupees had no source (the ministry counts ships and tonnage), so its points were deleted. Also removed as unsourced: a combined order book past Rs 1 lakh crore, lifting the maritime sector from 4% to 12% of GDP, a Rs 10,000 crore Thoothukudi shipyard (officially an April 2026 MoU for 2.5 million gross tonnes a year, cost not stated) and the Wadia yards history.

Creative economy: 48.8 crore online gamers in 2024, not 2 → 52 crore
The headline said online gamers grew from 2 crore to 52 crore. No source gives either number. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's WAVES publication, prepared with EY, estimates 488 million (48.8 crore) online gamers in 2024, and that is now the headline, labelled as an industry estimate. The hidden year-by-year chart had no source for any year and its points were deleted. The gaming market now reads ₹23,200 crore of online gaming revenue in 2024 instead of over ₹23,000 crore with no year. The page described an AVGC-XR policy; there is no national policy, so it now names the state AVGC-XR policies, the National AVGC-XR Mission a government task force recommended, and the creator labs announced in the 2026-27 Budget.

Digital rupee: headline now 19 banks offering wallets; offline use is still being explored
The headline was about 60 lakh e-rupee users in March 2025, from the RBI's 2024-25 annual report.

The hidden chart of users by year had no readable source, and its 2023 point conflicted with the only official count found, so its points were deleted. The page said the e-rupee works offline, phone-to-phone; the RBI says offline solutions are still being explored, and wallets now come from banks and non-banks.

At the Prime Minister's review of the sector in February 2025, the manufacturing market was put at $2.85 billion in 2014 and $23 billion in 2023, and that is now the headline, described as manufacturing. The Ministry of Ayush also cites a wider $43.4 billion market for 2023 without stating its basis; the source note mentions it. The hidden year-by-year chart had no official value for 2015 to 2019, showed projections as actuals for 2021 and 2022, and differed in 2020 and 2023, so its points were deleted.

Medical devices: industry over $15 billion, not $18 billion; 24 PLI plants and three parks

No official source gives that figure: government estimates were about $14 billion in late 2024, and the Department of Pharmaceuticals put the industry at over $15 billion in July 2026, which is now the headline. The hidden chart's points had no official source for most years and were deleted. India was said to import 70-80% of its devices, spending tens of thousands of crores; officially imports were more than 85% of the market in 2020 and cost ₹1,37,088 crore in 2024-25. Two unsourced figures were removed: domestic manufacturing meeting 20-30% of demand and 40-50% value addition (the government says it keeps no such ratio). The Hindi version of one fact said something different from the English and now matches it. PLI plants now read 24 making 57 products (December 2025) instead of 22.

Deep Ocean Mission: 6,000 m is a target; the depth-reached chart is removed

Those points were deleted. The 2025 milestone is now stated precisely: two Indian aquanauts reached 4,025 m and 5,002 m aboard the French submersible Nautile. The submersible is described as being developed, not built. The coastline is 11,098 km, the newer official figure. The nodules are described as cobalt-rich, as the official factsheet says.

The Prime Minister's Office list of foreign visits numbers 103 trips from June 2014 to 1 September 2026, covering 81 distinct countries if Palestine is counted (80 without it). The PMO publishes no total, so these are counts of its list. The year-by-year chart of countries visited did not match that list in most years and had no official source, so it was removed. BRICS 2026 meetings now read over 350 in over 25 cities, as the Ministry of External Affairs and PIB state, instead of 400 in 30. Claims that could not be confirmed in official sources were removed: the most travelled Prime Minister, highest civilian honours from more than 20 countries, addressing the UN General Assembly in Hindi, the first visit to Israel and the first to Australia in 28 years, the African Union adding 55 countries, the G20 declaration adopted despite deep divisions, and the adoption of a BRICS New Delhi Declaration, which can return once an official text is linked.

Jet fuel: consumption re-based on official figures, 5.5 → 9.2 million tonnes
The chart ended at 9.8 million tonnes, but PPAC records 9.0 in 2024-25 and a provisional 9.2 in 2025-26. Most points from 2015 on differed from the official statistics, and the pandemic dip appeared a year early: it came in 2020-21 (3.7 million tonnes), which the site labels 2021. Every point now follows PPAC and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas statistics, and 2026 has been added. The figures had been described as estimates with an approximate first year; they are published official statistics, and only 2025-26 is provisional. Three unsourced claims were removed: that ATF pricing was freed in 2001, that the recovery was among the fastest worldwide, and that Indian jet fuel is among the world's costliest. Production (17.8 million tonnes), exports (8.5 million tonnes), Delhi's 28.5% share and the sustainable aviation fuel targets (1%, 2% and 5% from 2027, 2028 and 2030) are now stated from the official statistics.

Yoga: 175 was co-sponsors, not observing countries; chart removed
The page used 175 for two different things. 175 is the number of UN member states that co-sponsored the 2014 resolution creating the International Day of Yoga — that is confirmed by the UN. It is not the number of countries that observe the day, which the Ministry of Ayush now puts at more than 190. The chart of observing countries by year (177 in 2015, 190 in 2021, 175 in 2024 and so on) had no official source for any year and was removed. The UN calls the co-sponsorship a record for a resolution of its kind, not for any General Assembly resolution.

Ease of doing business: 47,000+ compliances reduced; chart starts in 2021

DPIIT's figure is for compliances reduced — simplified, digitised, decriminalised or removed — and it stood at more than 47,000 in November 2025, of which 4,270 were removed outright. The chart began in 2014, but the count only started when the Regulatory Compliance Portal launched in January 2021, so the 2014, 2018 and 2020 points were removed; the rest now follow DPIIT's year-end figures (25,000 in 2021, 39,000 in 2022, 41,000 in 2023, 42,028 in 2024, 47,000 in 2025).

The page gave ₹1.7 lakh crore for 2024-25; KVIC has since reported ₹1.87 lakh crore of khadi and village industries sales for 2025-26, with employment of 2.04 crore. The starting figure of about ₹32,000 crore in 2014-15 was not found in any official document — KVIC's releases use ₹31,154 crore in 2013-14 — so growth now reads nearly six-fold. On the chart, 2018 (₹0.65 lakh crore) had no official total and was removed, 2017, 2021 and 2026 now use official figures, and several points moved slightly to match (for example 2024: 1.56, not 1.55). The figure is described as sector-wide sales of khadi and village industries products, which KVIC reports as turnover. GI-tagged products number over 800, not 600, and an unsourced line about government gifting protocol was removed. The page links PIB's May 2026 release.

PM SVANidhi: 1.12 crore loans disbursed; loan terms and chart updated
The page said 96 lakh loans had been sanctioned. That figure was loans disbursed, as of July 2025, and the latest is over 1.12 crore loans disbursed to more than 75.5 lakh street vendors (May 2026). The chart's values for 2020–2024 and 2026 matched no official figure — for example 46 lakh for 2022, when PIB gave 33.37 lakh in July 2022 — and it now uses the latest PIB figure for each year. The loan ladder now reads ₹15,000, ₹25,000 and ₹50,000 with cashback of up to ₹1,600, the terms since the Cabinet restructured the scheme in August 2025, instead of the earlier ₹10,000, ₹20,000 and ₹1,200. Two unsourced claims were removed: an estimate of 50 lakh-plus street vendors in India and that the scheme formalised vendors' legal standing under the Street Vendors Act.

Aspirational Districts: 513 blocks, 49 indicators; coverage chart removed
The page said districts are ranked on 81 indicators; NITI Aayog ranks them on 49 indicators, which together make up 81 data points, and tracks blocks on 40. The blocks programme, launched with 500 blocks in January 2023, was extended to 513 in 2025, so the headline now reads 112 + 513. The chart added districts and blocks into one line (112, then 612), mixing two units for what are programme decisions rather than a measured series, so it was removed. The page also said districts were picked on agriculture and financial inclusion — they were selected on a composite index of deprivation, health and nutrition, education and basic infrastructure — and that many overtook their state averages, which no official document says; the UNDP's 2021 appraisal compared them with other districts, and the page now says that. "Transformed" in the headline label now reads "covered". The page links NITI Aayog's January 2026 release.

Medical education: 808 colleges and 1,23,700 MBBS seats; chart corrected
The page's medical figures now follow the health ministry's numbers for each academic year. Medical colleges reached 808 and MBBS seats 1,23,700 in 2025-26, up from 387 colleges and 51,348 seats in 2013-14; the page had stopped at 780 and 1.18 lakh. On the chart, 442, 512 and 562 colleges for 2016, 2018 and 2020 had no official all-India total and were removed, 648 and 706 were each a year early, and 766 for 2024 matched no official figure. The source note credited the Ministry of Education for figures that come from the health ministry and the National Medical Commission. New IIMs number 8, not 7, and 22 new AIIMS have been approved, not 15; the first foreign university campus, Southampton in Gurugram, opened in July 2025, not 2024; and unsourced claims about Navodaya Vidyalayas and students going abroad were removed.

Food security: chart uses PIB's yearly figures; IMF claim removed
The headline of 80.6 crore people is now confirmed: the food ministry reports 80.56 crore people identified under the National Food Security Act as of February 2026. The chart around it was not: it started at 62 crore in 2014, when no such figure exists and the Act ran in only 11 States/UTs, showed 75 crore for 2016 when PIB gives about 80, and 81 crore for 2023 and 2024 when PIB gives 80.11 and 80.67. It now follows PIB's figure for each year, which it reports in slightly different ways. The page no longer says fair-price shops are "over 100%" ePoS-enabled (the figure is 99.8%), explains that free grain came in two steps (January 2023, then five more years from January 2024), gives the pandemic scheme's ₹3.91 lakh crore as a planned outlay, and drops an unverified claim that the IMF found extreme poverty close to zero, along with two "largest in the world" statements.

PM-KISAN: ₹4.47 lakh crore through 23 instalments; chart corrected
The page said farmers had received ₹3.9 lakh crore across 19 instalments. The latest official figure is more than ₹4.47 lakh crore across 23 instalments (July 2026). The chart of cumulative transfers was below the official totals in most years — for example ₹1.2 lakh crore for 2021, when PIB gave over ₹1.6 lakh crore in December 2021 — and it now follows PIB's figures from February 2020 to July 2026. The 2019 point had no source, and the 2025 point was removed because PIB's 2025 figures contradict each other. PIB calls the scheme one of the world's largest direct benefit transfers, not the largest, and says States identify who is eligible, so the claim that there is no state-level discretion was removed. The 86% figure refers to farm holdings, not farmers. The page links the Cabinet's July 2026 decision continuing the scheme.

Armed forces welfare: unsourced ₹1.4 lakh crore OROP total removed
The page's headline said ₹1.4 lakh crore had been paid under One Rank One Pension, with a chart of cumulative payouts since 2014. No official document gives that total or any year-by-year series — the only official cumulative figure is about ₹42,740 crore over roughly six years to 2020 — so the headline and chart were removed. The page now leads with the official figure that OROP has benefited over 25 lakh veterans and their families, and gives ₹10,795 crore of arrears under the first order. The post of Chief of Defence Staff was created in December 2019, not 2020, and the "biggest reform since independence" description was the site's own, so it now uses the government's wording. The count of over 26,000 names on the National War Memorial could not be confirmed and was removed. The page links PIB's November 2024 release on OROP.

Internal security: LWE district chart corrected to official lists
The headline of 126 affected districts in 2014 falling to zero in 2026 is right, but several points in between were not. The chart gave 46 districts for 2021 — the number that reported violence that year — when 70 were officially listed as affected; 11 for 2025, the October count, when it was 8 by December; and values for 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2023 that were either on older district boundaries or not official counts. The chart now shows only the Home Ministry's lists: 126 (2014), 90 (2018), 70 (2021), 38 (2024), 8 (2025) and zero (2026). Violence is now given as down 88% and deaths 90% between 2010 and 2025, rather than "more than 70%"; mobile towers as 9,497 rather than over 10,000; and the peak as 2,258 incidents in 2009 rather than over 2,000 a year.

CNG stations: chart now uses official year-end counts
Every point on the CNG station chart differed from the official count at 31 March, by as much as 700 stations — for example 3,800 for 2021, when the petroleum ministry's statistics give 3,095. The chart now follows those counts from 1,010 in March 2015 to 8,916 in March 2026 (PNGRB), and the 2014 starting value of 900, which had no dated source, was removed. The headline reads 1,010 → 8,916. "98% of the population" was a 2022 figure for areas authorised for city gas; after later bidding rounds, 307 areas cover almost the whole country, and the page now says that. The 18,336-station target is dated 2032, as PIB gives it, not 2034; crude imports read about 88% rather than 85%; and an unsourced reference to discounted Russian crude was replaced with the supplier regions the ministry lists.

Strategic oil reserves: commissioning years and Phase II corrected
The reserve chart showed capacity arriving early: 1.33 million tonnes in 2014 and 2015, although the Visakhapatnam cavern was commissioned in June 2015, and the full 5.33 million tonnes in 2018, although Padur came online in December 2018. It now follows the commissioning dates from ISPRL's annual reports, as capacity at 31 March: 1.33 (2016), 2.83 (2017 and 2018) and 5.33 from 2019. The headline now says capacity rather than crude stored, since the amount held varies and is not published. The 74 days the page gave as oil held with commercial stocks was India's total storage capacity in 2021, and the 9.5 days is measured against national demand, not imports. Phase II had been counted twice: the 2021 approval was the same 6.5 million tonnes approved in 2018, moved to a public-private model, and it is not under construction — Padur-II was awarded in August 2025 for completion in 2030, and Chandikhol is waiting for land. Unsourced history about Vajpayee proposing reserves in 1998 was removed; the government decided in January 2004 and ISPRL was incorporated that June.

Gems & jewellery: export chart ran a year early; unsourced 2030 goal removed
From 2020 on, each point on the export chart showed the following year's figure — for example $26 billion for 2019-20, which was the 2020-21 figure, when 2019-20 was $35.9 billion. The chart now follows the Department of Commerce's financial-year figures: $41.4 billion (2013-14), then $35.9, 26.0, 39.1, 38.0, 32.7 and 29.8 billion for 2019-20 to 2024-25, and $28.2 billion (provisional) for 2025-26. The years 2014-15 to 2018-19 had no official full-year figure and were removed. The $75 billion export goal for 2030 was credited to the Department of Commerce but comes from an industry study, so it and its target line were removed. The headline is now the latest export figure rather than an unsourced claim about Surat; India, not Surat alone, cuts and polishes about 90% of the world's diamonds. Employment reads about 43 lakh (Invest India) instead of 50 lakh, lab-grown diamonds about 15% of world production (2022) rather than global leadership, and the "8th-largest exporter" and "7% of GDP" claims were replaced or removed.

Defence production: chart ran a year early; figures and claims corrected
From 2022 on, each point on the defence production chart showed the following year's figure — ₹1.78 lakh crore appeared as 2024-25, though it is the 2025-26 figure, and 2024-25 was ₹1.54 lakh crore. The chart now follows the defence ministry's financial-year values from ₹43,746 crore in 2013-14 to ₹1.78 lakh crore in 2025-26; 2015-16 to 2018-19 were removed because no official figure covering both public and private producers exists. Items indigenised now read more than 15,700 in five years instead of 12,300, export destinations over 80 countries instead of 100, and the figure a decade ago ₹46,429 crore instead of about ₹40,000 or ₹47,000 crore. Claims we could not find in an official document were removed: that India was the world's biggest arms importer, that three of five S-400 squadrons had arrived, the $4 billion price of the MQ-9B drones, the first combat firing of BrahMos and Nagastra-1, five AMCA prototypes by 2035, 29 squadrons against 42, and Mach 8 speeds.

Women's SHGs: chart uses dated official figures; Lakhpati Didi and credit updated
The chart of women in self-help groups started at 2.5 crore in 2014 and rose smoothly each year, but no official figure exists for 2014 to 2017 or for 2020. It now shows only the rural development ministry's reported totals: 5.63 crore (November 2018), 6.47 crore (October 2019), 8.01 crore (November 2021), 8.71 crore (December 2022), 9.89 crore (November 2023), 10.05 crore (June 2024 to December 2025) and 10.19 crore in 94.46 lakh groups (August 2026). The page still gave 3 crore as the Lakhpati Didi target; that goal was met, 3.46 crore women had reached it by July 2026, and the target is now 6 crore. Bank credit reads ₹12.18 lakh crore since 2013-14 instead of ₹9.7 lakh crore, groups are federated into village organisations and cluster-level federations rather than block bodies, and the unsourced claim that Drone Didis fly for a fee is replaced by the scheme's 80% drone subsidy.

e-Shram: 31.9 crore registrations; chart and labour-code status corrected
The e-Shram chart gave 12 crore registrations for 2021 and 28 crore for 2022, and labelled 30.7 crore as the 2024 figure. The labour ministry reported 15.53 crore at the end of December 2021, published no year-end figure for 2022, and reached 30.7 crore only in March 2025. The chart now shows the ministry's year-end totals — 15.5 crore (2021), 29.2 (2023), 30.5 (2024), 31.4 (2025) — and 31.89 crore in August 2026. The four labour codes are described as in force since 21 November 2025, not as plans; the e-Shram pension link is the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan scheme, not Atal Pension Yojana; and the unsourced claim that over 90% of the workforce is informal now reads "most".

Bullet train: speeds, progress and dates corrected
The page gave 320 km/h as the bullet train's design speed; that is its operating speed, and the design speed is 350 km/h. Two milestones could not be traced to an official document — a 2021 "first pier" entry and a 2025 entry saying Shinkansen trains had begun trials and the corridor was 56% done — so they are replaced with official progress figures: 119 km of girders launched by February 2024, and 452 km of piers, 356 km of girders and 209 km of track bed complete by July 2026. The undersea tunnel had been described as built; 4.8 km of the roughly 21-km tunnel was dug by July 2026. The first service is expected in August 2027, and the Railways have not fixed a date for the full line, so the page no longer says 2029. It also no longer calls the route fully elevated (about 90% is), gives the journey time as about 1 hour 58 minutes rather than a cut from 7 hours, and replaces Chennai–Mysuru with corridors named in Budget 2026-27. The railways page, which said the bullet train would commission from FY27, now gives August 2027. The page links PIB's June 2026 backgrounder.

Irrigation: map now uses official state figures; headline corrected
The irrigation map showed state figures for 2014 and 2025 that did not come from an official table — Maharashtra at 46 lakh hectares, for example, where the agriculture ministry's table gives 32 — and filled in the years between. It now shows the ministry's state-wise net irrigated area for 2013-14 to 2015-16, the latest state figures we could confirm, and no longer runs to 2025. The headline of about 760 lakh hectares had no source; the ministry gives 683.84 lakh hectares in 2014-15 and 777.29 lakh hectares in 2020-21. The share of cropland irrigated reads 55% of the gross cropped area in 2020-21, up from 49.3% in 2015-16, instead of "up from about 37%" or "a third". Micro-irrigation now reads 115 lakh hectares (July 2026) instead of 95 lakh. Claims that no official document supports — the world's largest irrigated-agriculture system, Punjab and Haryana irrigating over 90% of their farmland, 65% of irrigation from groundwater, and Kaleshwaram being among the world's largest schemes — were removed.

Tea: production figures corrected; 2025, not 2024, was the record
The tea chart now follows the Tea Board's calendar-year figures for every year from 2014 to 2025. Several points were off: 2016 was 1,267 million kg, not 1,250; 2017 was 1,322, not 1,325 (the site had used the 2017-18 financial-year total); 2021 was 1,343, not 1,329; and 2024 was 1,304, not 1,340, which is not an official figure. The page called 2024 a record high, but production dipped that year; the record is 1,396 million kg in 2025, now added. The headline reads 1,207 → 1,396, workers are given as the 11.56 lakh employed in the organised sector, nearly 58% of them women, instead of "millions", and the auction rule is stated as it is: half of all tea must be sold through public auctions.

Nutrition: stunting shown only for survey years; tracker and grain figures updated
The stunting chart had values for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, but the National Family Health Survey is not held every year — those points were filled in between rounds and have been removed. The chart now shows only the three survey rounds: 38.4% (2015-16), 35.5% (2019-21) and 29.3% (2023-24), and links the health ministry's May 2026 release. The Poshan Tracker is now described as following about 14 lakh anganwadi centres and nearly 9 crore beneficiaries (March 2026) instead of 10 crore, free grain goes to about 81 crore people rather than 80 crore, and 2 lakh anganwadis — not 14 lakh — were sanctioned for upgrading.

Ayushman Bharat: card growth, admissions and savings corrected
The Ayushman card chart ran about a year ahead of the official figures — for example 10 crore cards for 2019 and 30 crore for 2023, when the health ministry gives 2.8 crore at the end of 2018-19 and 22.5 crore at the end of 2022-23. It now follows the ministry's year-end figures: 2.8, 7.5, 10.6, 13.3 and 22.5 crore for 2019 to 2023, 36.9 crore in March 2025 and 43.52 crore on 28 February 2026. The 2018 and 2024 points had no official year-end value and have been removed. The page now gives 11.69 crore hospital admissions instead of 7.4 crore, over ₹1.25 lakh crore saved (Economic Survey 2024-25) instead of ₹1.5 lakh crore, 36,229 hospitals instead of about 33,000, and 1,961 procedures instead of about 2,000.

Banking: bad loans shown to March 2025, the latest figure we could confirm
The page gave banks' gross NPA ratio as 1.8% in March 2026. That figure is reported from RBI's June 2026 Financial Stability Report, but we could not read it in an official document — RBI's web page for the report gives no number — so the page now ends at 2.2% in March 2025, confirmed by RBI and the finance ministry. Public-sector banks alone were at 1.93% on 31 March 2026, and the page says so. The 2015 point is corrected from 4.6% to 4.3% (the ministry gives 4.28%), and the points for 2016, 2017 and 2022 were removed because no official figure could be read for them.

Gas pipelines: 27,905 km in March 2026; the chart overstated earlier years
The pipeline chart ran 500 to 3,100 km above the official year-end figures from 2019 to 2023 — for example 19,500 km for 2019, when the petroleum ministry gives 16,368 km on 31 March 2019. It now follows PNGRB's reports as on 31 March, with ministry figures for 2019 and 2021, up to 27,905 km in March 2026, and links PNGRB's March 2026 report. The points for 2015–2018 and 2020 had no official figure and have been removed; the 2014 starting figure of 15,340 km is the ministry's, though it gives no exact date. The unified pipeline tariff took effect on 1 April 2023, not in 2024, and it uses three distance zones rather than a single price. Authorised length is now 34,803 km, not 33,500 km, and gas's current share of the energy mix reads about 6%, as the ministry puts it, instead of an unsourced 6.5%.

Oil refining: 22 refineries, four capacity points and a 2030 target corrected
The refining capacity chart now matches the petroleum ministry's statistics as on 1 April for every year: 2017 is 234 MMTPA, not 235; 2018 is 248, not 247; 2023 is 255, not 253; and 2024 is 257, not 256. The headline of 215 to 258 MMTPA was already right. India has 22 operating refineries, not 23, with one joint venture rather than two. The ministry's 309.5 MMTPA projection is now for 2030, not 2028, and the page's 450–500 MMTPA by 2030 was not found in an official document; the ministry speaks of long-term plans for 400–450 MMTPA. Product exports read over $45 billion in 2024-25 instead of $44–65 billion a year, refining is described as delicensed in 1998 rather than opened by the 1991 reforms, the Pachpadra refinery in Rajasthan is described as built rather than planned, and the Hindi page gives crude imports as 87.8% of supply in 2024-25 instead of about 85%.

Rooftop solar: 25.7 GW in March 2026; earlier years were overstated
The rooftop solar chart overstated capacity in almost every year, often two to three times over — for example 3.4 GW in 2018 and 7 GW in 2021, when MNRE's year-end reports give 1.06 GW and 4.44 GW. It now follows MNRE's figures as on 31 March from 2018, when rooftop capacity was first reported separately, to 25.73 GW in March 2026, and links PIB's April 2026 release. The page's starting figure of 0.5 GW in 2015 had no source, its 27.9 GW was dated May 2026 though no official document gives that date, and "up to 300 free units a month" was not found in an official document.

Electronics: chart now uses the ministry's rupee figures; the dollar series had no official source
The electronics chart showed production in US dollars, from $30 billion to $127 billion, but no official year-by-year dollar series exists: seven of its twelve points had no source and two differed. The Ministry of Electronics and IT publishes production in rupees — ₹1.90 lakh crore in 2014-15, ₹5.54 lakh crore in 2020-21, ₹6.41 lakh crore in 2021-22, ₹9.52 lakh crore in 2023-24, ₹11.3 lakh crore in 2024-25 and an estimated ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26 — and the chart now shows those points. The page also gave mobile-phone output as $2 billion to $60 billion and mobile exports passing $20 billion in 2024-25, neither on an official basis; it now uses the ministry's rupee figures.

FDI: a new record of $94.5 billion in 2025-26; no official $100 billion goal
The FDI page called 2021-22 the record year at about $85 billion and stopped at 2024-25. DPIIT's latest factsheet gives total FDI inflow of $94.5 billion (provisional) for 2025-26, the highest yet, and cumulative FDI of $1.17 trillion since April 2000; the chart now runs to 2025-26 and three earlier points were adjusted to DPIIT's revised figures. The page also said about $748 billion arrived over "the decade" 2014-24 — PIB's figure covers the eleven financial years 2014-25 — gave it as nearly two-thirds of all FDI since 2000 (PIB says nearly 70%), and said the government wants annual FDI of $100 billion, while the Ministry of Commerce states that it does not fix FDI targets.

Metro rail: 1,095 km including 55 km of RRTS; 1,077 km could not be traced to an official source
The metro page gave 1,077 km of metro (excluding the Delhi–Meerut RRTS) as of July 2026 and 1,159 km including it. On an earlier review we restored 1,077 km in place of PIB's 1,095 km, treating them as different bases. A closer check found no official document for either 1,077 km or 1,159 km — only a trade-press report — so that earlier change was itself unsupported. The page now gives PIB's March 2026 figure: about 1,095 km across 26 cities by 2025, including 55 km of the Delhi–Meerut RRTS, and links it. Because the official figures before that fall on irregular dates and mostly do not say whether the RRTS is included, the year-by-year chart, which had several years with no official figure, has been removed. The rolling-stock claim now uses PIB's figure of more than 2,000 metro coaches built in India.

Poverty: six chart years removed; the endpoints are NITI Aayog estimates
The poverty chart drew a value for every year from 2014 to 2023, but NITI Aayog estimates the multidimensional poverty headcount only for survey years: 24.85% in 2015-16 and 14.96% in 2019-21, with 29.17% for 2013-14 interpolated and 11.28% for 2022-23 projected. The six other years were not official figures and have been removed; the page now says which values are estimates and links NITI Aayog's January 2024 paper. A tile described the nine years from 2013-14 to 2022-23 as a decade, the page said the index was built with OPHI and UNDP (they gave technical inputs), and a tile put extreme poverty in "low single digits" without a figure; the World Bank's is 5.3% in 2022-23 on its $3-a-day line. The 24.82 crore people who escaped poverty and the state figures were already correct.

Direct Benefit Transfer: chart corrected to DBT Mission figures; 320 schemes, not 1,200+
The DBT chart overstated cumulative transfers in every year from 2014 to 2024, by ₹1 lakh crore to ₹11 lakh crore; for example it showed ₹22 lakh crore by 2019-20 when the DBT Mission's year-wise figures add up to ₹10.85 lakh crore. The chart now shows running totals of those figures, reaching ₹51.17 lakh crore by March 2026, and links the DBT Bharat portal. The page said DBT covers 1,200+ schemes, a count from a different payments system; the DBT Mission lists 320. It also said the government estimates ₹3.5 lakh crore saved; that figure came from a BlueKraft Digital Foundation assessment, while the DBT Mission's own estimate is ₹5.14 lakh crore up to March 2025, covering DBT and other governance reforms.

GIFT City: banking assets were $88.5 billion in March 2025, not $106 billion
The GIFT City chart showed IFSC banking assets rising from $14 billion in 2020 to $106 billion in 2025, a curve that matched official figures only in its first year. IFSCA's annual reports and bulletin give the total assets of IFSC Banking Units as $14.1 billion in March 2020, $15.0 billion in 2021, $29.4 billion in 2022, $38.3 billion in 2023, $60.2 billion in 2024 and $88.5 billion in March 2025; PIB put them at $100.14 billion in November 2025. The chart, headline, tiles and text now follow those figures, the bank count is PIB's 38 rather than "37 (about 20 foreign)", and dates and claims found only in news reports have been removed.

Space: economy about $8.4 billion, not $13 billion; timeline corrected
The ISRO page put India's space economy at about $13 billion; the Department of Space gives $8.4 billion for 2023. The timeline called the 2022 Small Satellite Launch Vehicle flight a maiden success, when ISRO records that it fell short of orbit (the first successful flight came in February 2023); placed Gaganyaan tests in 2024, when the first test-vehicle flight was completed in 2023; and said Chandrayaan-2's lander attempted a landing without saying it did not achieve one. The page also said Gaganyaan was around 90% ready and would make India the fourth country to send humans to space, which no official source states; it now gives the official schedule of a first uncrewed flight in late 2026. The page links PIB's June 2026 explainer, and the tile now gives 434 foreign satellites launched.

Cooking gas: 2014 coverage was 55.9%, not "fewer than half"
The cooking gas page said fewer than half of households had LPG in 2014, gave 62% as the 2014 coverage, and drew a year-by-year curve of consumers with most years unsourced and 2016 overstated (19.9 crore against an official 16.62 crore). PIB puts national LPG coverage at 55.9% in 2014 (62% was the 2016 figure) and 107.2% in 2026, with consumers rising from 14.52 crore to 33.18 crore. The chart now shows only the dated official counts, the page links PIB's August 2026 factsheet, the Ujjwala subsidy is given as ₹300 on the first four refills a year, and the International Energy Agency is quoted as calling it a major achievement rather than a game-changer.

Freight corridors: fully commissioned on 8 September 2026, not 31 March
The freight corridor page said the full 2,843 km network was commissioned on 31 March 2026. PIB recorded 2,741 km (96.4%) commissioned in March 2025 and the last 102 km still under way in December 2025; the final Western corridor sections were commissioned on 8 September 2026, when the whole network became operational. The page's chart also showed 280 km in 2019 and 640 km in 2020, when no section had yet been commissioned; with no consistent official year-by-year series, it has been removed. The text now gives the 32.5-tonne axle load as the design standard (trains run at 25 tonnes to start), the locomotive power for each corridor, and drops a claimed 2008 approval and speeds above the Rajdhani, neither of which an official source supported.

Mudra loans: chart years corrected, and 68% of accounts — not value — go to women
The Mudra chart labelled each year's running total by the year the financial year began rather than the year it ended, skipped 2024 and had several values off. It now shows running totals of the year-wise sanctions PIB published in April 2025, correctly labelled, ending at ₹39.48 lakh crore in February 2026; the headline ₹41.7 lakh crore is dated to 26 June 2026 and links the Rajya Sabha answer that gives it. The text said two-thirds of Mudra loans by value went to women; the official 68% is a share of loan accounts. It also now lists four loan categories, including Tarun Plus, and replaces an out-of-date ₹30 lakh crore total.

Textiles: chart now shows official exports; India is the sixth-largest exporter, not top five
The textiles chart showed an industry body's estimate of market size, from about $100 billion in 2014 to $175 billion in 2024, with no official year-by-year figures behind it. It now shows textile and apparel exports including handicrafts, which the Ministry of Textiles publishes each year from DGCI&S data: $38.2 billion in 2014-15, a peak of $44.4 billion in 2021-22 and $37.8 billion in 2024-25. The page also called India a top-five exporter; the ministry puts it sixth. The $175 billion was described as the domestic market, but the ministry's figure of $179 billion covers the whole industry, of which $142 billion is domestic.

Food processing: exports were $10.1 billion in 2024-25, not $27 billion
The food processing chart showed exports rising from $18 billion in 2014 to $27 billion in 2025, a series that matched no official figure, and the text said processed-food exports had passed $49 billion. Official DGCI&S figures published by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries put processed-food exports at $5.3 billion in 2017-18, a peak of $13.1 billion in 2022-23 and $10.1 billion in 2024-25; the $49 billion is agricultural and processed food exports combined, of which processed food was about a fifth. The chart now follows the official series, and the unsourced claim that only about 10% of produce is processed has been replaced with the official share of processed food in agri-food exports.

Highway building pace: 29.2 km a day in 2024-25, not a steady 34

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' own table, published by PIB in December 2025, gives 28.6 km a day in 2021-22, 28.3 in 2022-23, 33.83 in 2023-24 and 29.21 in 2024-25, after a peak of 36.5 in 2020-21. The chart, headline, tiles and text now follow that table, and the page links it. Claims of about 90,000 km built in a decade and of satellite tolling, which no official source supported, were removed.

Rural roads: 99.6% of eligible habitations connected; chart removed

Official figures were much higher much earlier — 82% in December 2017, 97% by July 2019 and 99.29% in December 2022 — but each was published against a different base, and the 2014 starting figure could not be traced to an official document. The chart has been removed. The page now leads with PIB's figure of more than 99.6% of eligible habitations connected by December 2024, and gives 7,87,520 km of PMGSY roads completed since 2000 in place of "several lakh km".

Space startups: about 440, not an estimated 400+ curve

The DPIIT Startup India portal counts published by PIB are 1 in 2014, 189 in 2023 and around 440 by August 2026.

The Justice & Legal Reform page drew an invented curve of court records online, from 2 crore in 2014 to 30 crore in 2026, and its text said e-Courts had digitised "hundreds of millions" of records. PIB reports over 753 crore pages of court records digitised by August 2026, up from 637.85 crore at the end of 2025. The text now gives that figure. Because these are recent snapshots rather than a year-by-year series, the chart has been removed.

Trade agreements, diplomacy, census and the digital rupee carried charts with no official year-by-year figures behind them: a cumulative trade-deal count that varies by definition, a strategic-partnership count no ministry publishes, a population curve between censuses, and a rising e-rupee user curve. As with nine pages earlier, their charts have been removed. The trade page's headline now gives PIB's count of nine FTAs spanning 38 countries since 2021 in place of the unsourced 10 → 16, and the digital rupee page dates its 60 lakh users to March 2025, per the RBI's annual report.

Nine sectors carried charts drawn from industry estimates or programme targets rather than official year-by-year figures — media and entertainment, medical devices, online gaming, AYUSH, handicrafts, Gaganyaan, the Deep Ocean Mission, Great Nicobar and shipbuilding. A curve built that way can be read, or screenshotted, as measured progress. Their charts have been removed; each page keeps its headline figure, tiles and text, still marked as an indicative trend, with a note explaining why no chart is shown. A chart will return if an official series is published.

The automobiles counter showed a steady climb from 19 million vehicles a year in 2014 to 31 million in 2024-25. SIAM's annual figures tell a different story. Production was already 21.5 million in 2013-14, rose to a peak of 30.9 million in 2018-19, fell to 22.7 million in 2020-21, and climbed back to a new record of 31.0 million only in 2024-25. Eight of the twelve points were off by 2 to 5 million, and the old chart hid both the peak and the fall. Every point is now SIAM's published total for that financial year.

Housing lowered from 4 crore to 3.9 crore completed houses
The housing counter said about 4 crore houses had been completed under PMAY by 2025 — and its own breakdown, 2.77 crore rural plus 92 lakh urban, added up to only 3.69 crore. Both halves were checked against current PIB releases: 2.99 crore rural houses completed as on 31 March 2026, and more than 93.19 lakh urban houses constructed and delivered as of 18 June 2025. Together that is about 3.9 crore, reached later than the date the site had put on 4 crore. The counter, stat tile and text now say 3.9 crore as of March 2026 and name both parts with their dates, and the source link is the rural release, which the source note says covers the rural half. The 2025 point was removed because it sat above the later sourced total. The earlier yearly points are estimates that look high against known build rates; they have been left rather than re-guessed, and will be revisited when year-wise completions are sourced.

We changed the metro figure, then changed it back — the original was right
While adding source links, the metro-rail counter was restated from 1,077 km to 1,095 km because a PIB release gave 1,095 and our series looked low against it. That was wrong, and it was our error rather than the source's. The release is dated 15 March 2026 and reports about 1,095 km “including 55 km of the Delhi–Meerut RRTS” as of 2025 — so metro-only is about 1,040 km for 2025. The site's figure was 1,077 km metro-only as of July 2026: a later date on a narrower basis, and consistent with growing from PIB's 1,040. A newer, better-defined number was replaced with an older one because the check matched on the number and not on what the number counted or when it was counted. The counter is back to 1,077 km for July 2026, the source note again says the figure excludes the RRTS (1,159 km including it), and no source link was added, because that release does not state our figure — the same rule that leaves GDP unlinked.

Adding source links turned up three figures that disagreed with their own sources
Work began on linking each sector to the document its figures come from, and a link is only added once the page has been fetched and our number found in it. That check immediately caught two: total exports ended at $825 billion for 2024-25 when PIB reports $860.09 billion for 2025-26, so the decade growth is 85% rather than 76%; and universities showed 1,170 for both 2024 and 2025 when PIB's factsheet says 1,213 in 2024, with the 2025 point resting on no source at all. It also produced a mistake of our own on metro rail, recorded separately above.

Every sector page now shows what its figures are current to
A “Data current to” line was added to all 143 sectors: a precise date where the source gives one, the last year of the series where it does not, and nothing at all where neither is known. Nineteen sectors carry a precise sourced date. The same field now drives the sitemap, so search engines see a change only when figures actually move — not on every deploy. Deliberately not the date the page was last edited, because a corrected typo is not new data.

Tap connections and Ayushman cards brought up to date
Rural tap connections moved from 15.72 crore (PIB, as on 21 October 2025) to 15.94 crore — 82.38% of 19.36 crore rural households, from the Jal Jeevan Mission dashboard. Ayushman cards moved from 42 crore to 43.52 crore as on 28 February 2026. The Jal Jeevan outlay was also still the 2019-20 figure of ₹2.08 lakh crore; Cabinet raised it to ₹8.69 lakh crore under Mission 2.0 in March 2026.

PMGKAY beneficiaries left at 80.6 crore after review
We were asked to raise this to 81 crore. The series already runs 81 crore in 2023 and 2024 and then 80.6, which reads as a deliberate revision of the beneficiary count rather than a stale value, and we found no primary source justifying a move back up. Left unchanged, and recorded here so the decision is visible.

Forex reserves updated to $785.7 billion, an all-time high
The page had been showing $700 billion for eleven months, and its wording pointed the wrong way — describing a 2024 peak of $705 billion followed by $700 billion, as if reserves had settled below their high. Total reserves were US$ 785,706 million as on 4 September 2026. The page now also notes that reserves fell from $705 billion in 2024 to about $700 billion through 2025 before climbing again, because a line that only rises invites the question of what was left out.

Three contradicting numbers on the homepage
The homepage strip said UPI had gone from ~0 to 172 billion transactions a year while a tile on the same page said 0.9 to 242 billion. The strip also said rail electrification had gone from 40% to 99%; the 99% was superseded by 99.6%, but nothing on the site sourced the 40% baseline at all, so the strip now shows route km (21,801 to 69,873), which is sourced. And the homepage airports tile said 74 to 157 against 74 to 163 on the Aviation page — the tile was a year behind the page it linked to. All three were hardcoded in the page component, which is why earlier data fixes had not reached them.

Jan Dhan series rebuilt; 2015 figure was a misread official sentence
The series showed 17.9 crore accounts for 2015. That number is real but it is the wrong quantity: PIB's release says “during first year of scheme 17.90 crore PMJDY accounts were opened” — accounts opened in year one, not the cumulative total at that date, which the same release gives as 14.72 crore in March 2015. Two sentences apart. The other points were unsourced interpolations. Rebuilt from dated official snapshots only, ending at 59.21 crore as on 2 September 2026, against 55 crore before. 2017 to 2019 have no snapshot we could source and are drawn as dashed bars rather than invented.

Patents series was wrong in nine of eleven years, and stopped before a 67% fall
The page showed 1,03,057 patents granted with a jump of +62,047. The 1,03,057 is right — PIB confirms it for 2023-24, the first year India crossed one lakh. Everything around it was not. The series mixed two year conventions so most bars sat under the wrong year, four values matched no official figure, and it stopped a year early: grants fell to 33,504 in 2024-25, which the annual report describes as a decrease of “about 67.49%”. The office explains the spike itself — a 2023 reorganisation promoted nearly 370 examiners to controllers, clearing a backlog of 1.26 lakh applications. So “patents rose seventeen-fold” described a peak as though it were a level. The page now shows the decade rise, 5,978 to 33,504, with the record year named as a record. A reader asking “?” about the suspicious jump is what found this.

Charts no longer print numbers on years no source publishes
Charts drew a bar for every year in a range and printed a value on each. Where a series was sparse, the value between two published years was interpolated — reasonable for the year slider, but printed on a bar it reads as data. That came to 51 labelled figures across 10 sectors that no source states, the worst being Census & Demography with 6 real points over 16 years. Interpolated years are now hollow and dashed with no number, a note explains them, and hovering one prefixes the value with a tilde. The downloadable CSV always contained only the published years.

“A payments system a billion people use” overstated UPI
A line in the 2014 turning-point essay described UPI as a system a billion people use. A billion is roughly Aadhaar's enrolment, not UPI's user base. Replaced with the transaction volume, which we can source. The same essay credited its figures to the Peterson Institute, Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Cato Institute, Outlook Business and The Week; those are now the ministries and institutions behind the claims it actually makes.

BRICS chairship tally raised to 400+ meetings across 30 cities
The site said “more than 350 meetings in 25 cities”, which was correct when PIB published it. Paragraph 6 of the BRICS New Delhi Declaration, adopted 12 September 2026, is the leaders' own final count: “over four hundred meetings and engagements … in thirty cities across India”. Updated in both languages across the news item, the feature, and the diplomacy and outreach sectors. The X cards already posted keep the old figure, since editing a published card's source would misrepresent what went out.

Two sectors added: School Education, and Bank Branches & Banking Access
The site covered higher education but not schools, and covered Jan Dhan accounts but not the counters where those accounts are used. School Education charts the share of schools with internet access — because UDISE+ changed to individual student records in 2022-23 and the Ministry states its enrolment and dropout data is not comparable with earlier years. Bank Branches charts RBI's count of bank offices and sets it against 4.35 lakh business correspondents, who now outnumber branches roughly two and a half to one.
