Corrections and source queries

If you find an error in an article — a figure that does not match its cited source, a misattributed quotation, a broken link to a primary document — please email with the article title and the passage concerned. Corrections are made visibly and acknowledged; see the Editorial Policy for how. If you can point to a better primary source than the one an article used, that is especially welcome.

Requests for analysis, data or collaboration

Readers occasionally ask for a specific dataset to be rebuilt, a policy thread to be traced, or a topic to be covered. Such requests are read and, where they fit the site's remit (India's trade, energy, industrial and agricultural policy, from primary sources), often become articles. Consulting and advisory enquiries on energy, infrastructure and investment-promotion questions can be sent to the same address.

Press and reuse

Journalists and researchers are welcome to quote short passages with attribution and a link. For reuse of a full chart, table, or dataset, or for interview requests, please email first.

Privacy, advertising and affiliate questions

How this site handles cookies, analytics, advertising and affiliate links is set out in the Privacy Policy. Requests concerning any personal data held by the author (limited to email correspondence you initiate) can be sent to the address above.

Response times are usually within a few working days. This is an independent, single-author publication; there is no editorial office beyond the author.
