State Reports

Where these numbers come from

This page is generated from the reports themselves — the source list on each state file plus every citation attached to a quoted passage. It is not a hand-kept bibliography, so it cannot fall behind the reports it describes. For how the reports are assembled, see the methodology.

Source organisations

Cited across the published reports

Ordered by how many reports rest on each one. A source cited by a single state is usually specific to it — a state economic survey, a high court, a state board.

Datasets

Geographic and transport data

The files behind the district pages and route maps. Counts are read from the data at build time, so a set that is still empty says so.

District boundaries

785 districts

Local Government Directory boundary release, rebuilt as one shared topology so neighbouring districts share their edges instead of each carrying an independent outline.

data/districts/*.json

National highways

10 corridors

Ministry of Road Transport & Highways corridor listings, traced district by district.

data/highways.json

Expressways

17 corridors

National Highways Authority of India project pages, including corridors still under construction.

data/expressways.json

Railway lines

4 lines

Indian Railways line listings, grouped by the zone that operates each route. Route geometry is traced district by district, the same way the highway corridors are.

Compilation dates and source documents

A compilation date is the month the report's numbers were gathered — not the date of the underlying data, which is generally older and named in the report itself.
