Quarterly Reportage

Skip to article content
Text Size

This is an index into the register, not a reading of it. Mapping is by keyword against release titles, so it will miss a scheme referred to obliquely and it cannot tell an approval from a progress report — a Parliament answer about PM E-DRIVE and the Cabinet decision creating it look alike here. Use it to find the release, then read the release. 151 of these rows are Cabinet or CCEA items.

Method. Source: the PIB release register (124,199 releases, 2017→today), refreshed daily. A release qualifies as an announcement here if its title matches the scheme-keyword map, or if it is a Cabinet/CCEA approval carrying incentive language. Quarters are calendar quarters, so 2026Q3 is Jul–Sep 2026. Generated 2026-08-26 by scripts/build_reportage.py in digital-twin-for-ipa, where the fuller ministry-wise and state-wise views also live.

Companion view. For the last 30 days only — central releases plus the state-government wire, which this page does not carry — see Reportage: Latest Updates. That page is the running feed; this one is the archive. For what Parliament asked about these same schemes — with every official answer PDF — see the Lok Sabha Question Registry.

Known limits, stated rather than hidden. Acronyms collide, and the map used to fall for them: IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is a mining school and was being read as the India Semiconductor Mission; Sanchar, Paryatan, Nyaya and Monument Mitra are unrelated to PM MITRA textile parks; “AIF” in a Competition Commission order is an Alternative Investment Fund, not the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund; and Krishi Unnati Mela is not UNNATI 2024. Thirty-two such rows were removed on 2026-08-04 by an explicit veto list. Others may remain — a row whose title has nothing to do with its chip (the coloured scheme tag shown in the table) is a mapping error, not a policy fact.

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.
