Policy Comparisons

Cross-tabulate policy activity across government eras, sectors, types, and sources

Data coverage caveat: These comparisons reflect policies available in digital archives, not total policy output. Pre-2014 eras (especially UPA I & II) are significantly underrepresented because government digital portals have limited historical archival. Higher numbers in NDA eras do not necessarily mean more policymaking — they reflect better digital availability.Read full methodology

Legislative output — a fair comparison

Central Acts enacted per year, counted from India Codeby enactment year (through 2024). One consistent source, measured the same way for every era — so this is comparable, unlike the archive-coverage counts below.

Congress8.2/yr41 Acts · 1991–1995
NDA / UF6.5/yr52 Acts · 1996–2003
UPA8.1/yr81 Acts · 2004–2013
NDA8.5/yr93 Acts · 2014–2024

Archive coverage by era

How many items we hold per era — not policy output. Recent eras dominate because live sources are scraped comprehensively while older years rely on a historical seed. Use the fair comparison above for output.

UPA ICongress-led UPA88items held2004–2009
UPA IICongress-led UPA59items held2009–2014
NDA IBJP-led NDA75items held2014–2019
