Chemical Import Substitution: the Full 827-Code Data Tables

August 05, 2026

The complete chapter-wise tables supporting Chemical Import Substitution. Held on a separate page because the tables run to 835 rows; keeping them in the post exhausted Blogger’s index rendering budget and suppressed the homepage post list.

Revised . The sibling registry page's value/quantity match rate was corrected on 9 August to 801 of 827 codes (26 unmatched) — this table was built before that correction and does not yet mark those 26 rows separately; they render below indistinguishably from genuine “No Signal” ratings, and that gap is still unfixed as of this check (see below). Checked : FY2025-26 remains the latest complete fiscal year in DGCI&S TradeStat, so the trade figures themselves are still current and were not re-pulled — TradeStat was unreachable from this environment to verify directly. The 26-row marking gap was not fixed this pass either: doing so requires the original matched-code list, which this environment does not have access to.

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.
