Every piece on this blog, three ways in

Every piece published on this blog since it opened on 4 October 2020 — 301 articles on India’s trade, energy and industrial policy, each checked against official statistics. Browse by date, by topic, by the country or state a piece is about, or by how the subjects connect to each other.

4 October 2020First post — the blog opens

Six years of trade, energy, industrial-policy and fertiliser data, read from primary sources (PIB, Parliament replies, RBI, government dashboards) rather than press releases. New this month: plain-language explainers on personal finance, alongside the usual HSN-coded deep dives.

By date

The whole publishing history, including the part where nothing happened.

The blog opened on 4 October 2020 with a single post, and then published nothing for 6 years. The archive proper begins on 21 July 2026. That gap is left visible here rather than smoothed away: the counts below are what was actually published, not a reconstruction.

Counted from each post’s Blogger publication date as recorded in the archive manifest. A number of earlier drafts and duplicate variants -- accidental multi-publishes, superseded draft versions -- were withdrawn from Blogger over time and are not listed; they have no live URL to link to.

AI Tracker

The weekly AI tools update. Newest edition at a fixed address.

AI Tools Edition 03: A Repo With 98,000 Stars This Tracker Had Never Heard Of

Updated in place each edition — the link above always points at the current one.

Ranks AI launches across five fixed categories — coding and developer tools, agentic platforms, foundation models, consumer AI, automation — by traction that can be checked. Star counts come from the GitHub API rather than from roundups, and anything that cannot be verified to that standard is labelled as unverified rather than ranked alongside what can.

By geography

The country or state a piece is actually about, not every place it mentions.

Almost everything here is about India, so India is not a category — it would hold every article and tell you nothing. What follows is the second geography: the counterpart economy a trade piece measures against, or the Indian state whose policy is under examination.

Counterpart economies

China 40

European Union 18

Indian states

Tamil Nadu 35

Gujarat 34

Karnataka 29

Maharashtra 25

By connection

Which subjects keep turning up together.

Each dot is a subject that appears across several articles; its size is the number of articles. A line means two subjects share articles, and the heavier the line the more they share. The clusters are not designed — they fall out of what has actually been written.

Subject co-occurrence across the archive

Subjects appearing in at least five articles. Lines drawn where two subjects share two or more articles.

Built from the headings and body text of every archived post by tools/index_graph.py. Headings are weighted four times body text, and each subject counts once per article rather than once per mention — several posts contain long tables whose repeated cell text would otherwise dominate any count. Layout is fixed and deterministic, so a change in the diagram means a change in the writing, not a reshuffle.

How this site works

Data-led analysis of India's trade, currency and industrial policy. Every article is built from primary official sources, and every figure links back to the release, table or filing it came from.

Sources. DGCI&S TradeStat (imports/exports, HSN-wise) · PIB (government press releases, January 2017 to today, refreshed daily) · RBI (circulars, balance of payments) · MoSPI (CPI/WPI, IIP) · PARIVESH (environmental clearances) · CCIL (bond yields) · BIS (policy rates) · SEBI, NSE/BSE and SEC filings for company data.

Interpretation. Figures carry their vintage and retrieval date; estimates and press-reported numbers are labelled as such; where sources disagree, both are shown. Corrections are made visibly, never silently. Articles are written with AI assistance from the cited sources — AI-generated text can misstate figures even when working from real material, so verify any number that matters to a decision against the linked primary source.
