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.

Rajya Sabha Question Registry — Scheme & Incentive Questions, 2019 to Today

Rajya Sabha Question Registry

Every captured Rajya Sabha question on investment policies, schemes and incentives since 2019 (2019-01-02 → 2026-08-04) — 1,825 at this build — each mapped to its scheme and answering ministry. Every row links to the official answer PDF on sansad.in — 139 starred (answered orally on the floor), the rest unstarred (written).

The upper-house companion to the Lok Sabha Question Registry and the Quarterly Reportage: what the Rajya Sabha asked about these same schemes, with the ministry's answer of record. All three views are classified by one scheme-keyword map, so they filter identically. Use it to find the answer, then read the answer. The underlying data analysis and build scripts are backed up at github.com/herrrickshaw.

Method. Harvested from the rsdoc.nic.in per-question index by subject keyword (same keyword lists as the Lok Sabha registry, from 2019), then classified against the same scheme-regex map and acronym-veto list as the Quarterly Reportage — so “Sanchar Mitra” does not file under PM MITRA and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad does not file under the Semiconductor Mission here either. Generated 2026-08-04 by scripts/build_rs_pq_registry.py in digital-twin-for-ipa.

Known limits, stated rather than hidden. The index matches keywords against the subject line only, so a question whose subject names no scheme is not captured even when its answer discusses one at length — coverage is of scheme-titled questions, not of every mention. Ministries answer as of their date; figures in older answers are superseded by newer ones. A row whose subject has nothing to do with its chip is a classification bug, not a parliamentary fact.

This page was built with AI assistance from the public rsdoc.nic.in / sansad.in Rajya Sabha Q&A index linked above. AI-generated text can misstate figures even when working from real source material — verify any number that matters to a decision against the linked answer PDF.
