This tracker records what was promised, what has been delivered, and what the evidence shows. It does not endorse any party or government. The World Bank’s October 2026 brief reports that 496 million people moved out of poverty in India between 2011 and 2023, and that extreme poverty fell from 27.1 percent to 2.6 percent. Lifting nearly half a billion lives in about a decade, in a democracy of 1.4 billion, is a monumental human achievement. This tracker is here to make that progress visible, policy by policy, as we walk together towards Viksit Bharat.
We track each policy against the standard it set for itself, and say plainly where the record is incomplete or contested. How to read the Policy Tracker explains what the status pills mean and where every number comes from.
Self-reliant India, explicitly not isolation. The framing: turn adversity into opportunity, build on five pillars (economy, infrastructure, system, demography, demand), and make in India for the world, with local products going global ("vocal for local").
Promised
A ₹20 lakh crore special economic package, about 10% of GDP at the time.
₹3 lakh crore in collateral-free automatic loans for MSMEs, plus support for people, agriculture, and structural reforms in coal, minerals, defence production, civil aviation, and power.
Progress
The package is best judged through its successor instruments: PLI investment above ₹2.0 lakh crore by September 2025, defence production of ₹1.54 lakh crore in FY25, and electronics production up from ₹1.9 lakh crore (2014-15) to ₹11.3 lakh crore (2024-25).
The ₹20 lakh crore headline bundles RBI liquidity measures and earlier announcements; it is not ₹20 lakh crore of new government spending.
A developed India by 2047, the centenary of Independence: economically prosperous, socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, well-governed. The 25 years from 2022 to 2047 are framed as Amrit Kaal, the decisive window, built on four pillars (Garib, Yuva, Annadata, Nari).
Promised
An economy of about US$30 trillion by 2047, with per-capita income of about US$15,000–18,000.
Sustained growth of about 8% a year for two decades, plus 100% literacy, zero poverty, universal healthcare, 25% manufacturing share of GDP, and 500 GW of non-fossil capacity.
Progress
A 2047 vision, so progress is measured by trajectory. GDP is about US$3.5–4.1 trillion (2026 baseline) and per-capita income about US$2,700–2,900. Growth in FY2025-26 H1 was about 8% in real terms (Q2 FY26: 8.2%).
Independent analysis (NCAER) warns that at about 6.6% growth India reaches only about US$21.9 trillion by 2047, some US$8 trillion short of US$30 trillion. No official mid-term scorecard exists yet.
The US$30 trillion figure is an aspiration requiring 8%+ growth sustained for two decades, a feat only China has achieved in modern history. Present as ambition, not forecast.
Turn India into a global manufacturing hub: design, make, and export from India; attract FDI, build domestic capability, create jobs, reduce import dependence.
Promised
Manufacturing from about 16% of GDP (2014) to 25% by 2022, later extended to 2025.
Manufacturing growth of 12–14% a year, and 100 million additional manufacturing jobs by 2022.
Progress
Manufacturing was only 14.6% of GVA in 2022-23 and 15.6% in 2025-26, essentially flat against 2014. The 25% target has now been moved to 2035 under the National Manufacturing Mission.
The pockets that work: electronics production from ₹1.9 lakh crore (2014-15) to ₹13.11 lakh crore (2025-26); 99.2% of phones used in India now made domestically; manufacturing FDI from US$97.7 billion (2004–14) to US$165.1 billion (2014–24).
The honest story is sectoral wins (electronics, defence, pharma, auto) despite the overall target still being ahead; the 100-million-jobs target is a long way off by most credible estimates.
Digital infrastructure as a utility to every citizen, governance and services on demand, and digital empowerment of citizens.
Promised
BharatNet to connect more than 2.22 lakh Gram Panchayats; digital literacy for 6 crore rural households (PMGDISHA); a Common Service Centre in every Gram Panchayat.
Progress
UPI processed a record 25.47 billion transactions worth ₹31.53 lakh crore in October 2026, the first month above 25 billion payments and above ₹30 lakh crore in value. Average daily value crossed ₹1 lakh crore for the first time, at ₹1,01,707 crore. The monthly record sits on top of the FY 2025-26 annual total of 24,162 crore transactions; the festive month, not a new annual figure, is what moved.
UPI: 1.78 crore transactions in FY2016-17 to 24,162 crore transactions, about ₹314 lakh crore, in FY2025-26; about 85% of India's digital payments and about 49% of global real-time payments.
BharatNet: about 2.15 lakh Gram Panchayats connected by January 2026 (about 97% of target). PMGDISHA: more than 6.39 crore trained by March 2024, above the 6 crore target. Common Service Centres: 5.01 lakh functional (May 2026).
Pay incentives tied to incremental sales of goods made in India, to attract global supply chains, build scale in strategic sectors, raise domestic value addition and exports, and create jobs.
Promised
An outlay of ₹1.97 lakh crore across 14 sectors, from large-scale electronics and pharma to solar modules and ACC batteries.
Progress
The Ministry of Textiles has cut the Part 2 minimum turnover for the textiles PLI from ₹200 crore to ₹100 crore and will accept Round 4 applications from 1 November 2026 to 31 December 2026. The lower bar is meant to bring in MSMEs and mid-sized units making man-made fibre apparel, fabrics and technical textiles. Applicants cleared in Round 4 get scheme tenure through FY 2033-34, and companies from Rounds 1, 2 and 3 that have not received an incentive can move to Round 4 if they withdraw their earlier applications.
To September 2025: actual investment above ₹2.0 lakh crore; incremental production and sales above ₹18.70 lakh crore; employment above 12.60 lakh; 806 applications approved; exports above ₹8.20 lakh crore.
To 31 March 2026: investment above ₹2.40 lakh crore; employment above 14.15 lakh; exports above ₹15.2 lakh crore cumulatively.
The outlay is quoted as ₹1.97 lakh crore (March 2025 PIB) and ₹1.91 lakh crore (July 2026 Lok Sabha reply); the discrepancy is unexplained. Incentives actually disbursed (₹23,946 crore to September 2025) lag the headline outlay.
End siloed infrastructure planning: a GIS-based master-planning platform bringing 16 ministries together for integrated, multi-modal connectivity, to cut logistics costs, raise cargo capacity, and cut turnaround time.
Promised
A ₹100 lakh crore investment envelope, linked to the National Infrastructure Pipeline and the US$5 trillion economy goal.
Progress
More than 1,800 data layers from 58 Central Ministries and all 36 States/UTs on one map (October 2026).
The Network Planning Group has evaluated 421 projects worth about ₹20.23 lakh crore; 256 sanctioned, 198 under execution (October 2026).
₹20.23 lakh crore is the estimated cost of projects evaluated, not money sanctioned or spent, and no public list names all 421 projects. "Evaluated" is not "built."
Simplify regulation, catalyse funding, and build a startup ecosystem, to turn job-seekers into job-creators.
Promised
Ecosystem scale: tax benefits, IP fast-track, government procurement preference, and a Fund of Funds. No single dated numeric target at launch.
Progress
DPIIT-recognised startups reached 2,50,046 by 27 October 2026, up from 2,40,092 at the end of June, with the recognised startups reporting over 25.42 lakh direct jobs across more than 770 districts. About half of the recognised startups are based outside the metros, and 48% have at least one woman director. The count keeps climbing past the 2.5 lakh mark a decade after Startup India launched.
DPIIT-recognised startups: 2,40,092 as of 30 June 2026 (Rajya Sabha answer, July 2026); more than 21 lakh direct jobs created (DPIIT Year End Review, December 2025).
More than 48% of recognised startups have at least one woman director; about half are based in Tier-II/III cities (DPIIT Year End Review, December 2025).
7,534 recognised startups (about 3%) were categorised as closed as of 30 June 2026. The government does not centrally maintain unicorn counts, which rest on private valuations.
Make India the "skill capital of the world": bridge industry demand and youth skills, and build employability for the 15–59 age group.
Promised
Train 400 million (40 crore) people by 2022 under the National Skill Development Mission.
Progress
PMKVY trained 1.60 crore people from FY2015-16 to December 2024, a wide miss against 40 crore. PMKVY 4.0 certified only 3.04 lakh in FY2025-26 against a 30 lakh target (about 10%).
The restructured Skill India Programme (February 2025) runs to March 2026 with an outlay of ₹8,800 crore and 2.27 crore beneficiaries to date.
The 400-million target was not achieved on any official count. The honest story is the individual who did get skilled, and what the restructured programme must fix.
End dependence on imports (India was the world's largest arms importer), build a domestic defence-industrial base, and turn India from importer to exporter.
Promised
Defence production of ₹3 lakh crore by 2029 and defence exports of ₹50,000 crore by 2029.
Five Positive Indigenisation Lists covering 509 items with import embargoes on timelines; FDI up to 74% automatic (100% via approval).
Progress
Defence production: ₹46,429 crore (FY15) to about ₹1.5 lakh crore (FY25) to ₹1.78 lakh crore (FY26). The private sector is about 24% of production.
Defence exports: ₹686 crore (FY14) to ₹23,622 crore (FY25) to ₹38,424 crore (FY26), 77% of the 2029 target with three years left.
FY25 production is reported as both ₹1.50 lakh crore and ₹1.54 lakh crore in different releases, so it is quoted here as about ₹1.5 lakh crore. The earlier ₹35,000-crore export target for 2025 was reached in FY26, a year after its date.
Energy security plus climate responsibility: grow clean energy while meeting rising demand, become a global hub for green hydrogen, and reach net zero without compromising development.
Promised
500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030; about 50% of capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030; net zero by 2070.
National Green Hydrogen Mission: at least 5 million tonnes per annum of green hydrogen by 2030, with an outlay of ₹19,744 crore.
Progress
Non-fossil capacity reached about 308 GW by 30 September 2026, about 55% of India's 558.9 GW total installed capacity, up from 266.78 GW at the end of 2025. The Prime Minister put the same milestone as nearly 300 GW toward the 500 GW by 2030 target at the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit on 2 November. The 50% capacity-share target, met five years early in June 2025, is now comfortably cleared.
Non-fossil capacity: 266.78 GW at end-2025, 53% of the 500 GW target. Solar 135.81 GW. The 50% non-fossil share of installed capacity was reached in June 2025, five years early.
Green hydrogen is early-stage: offtake commitments of 5,55,610 tonnes per annum signed by October 2026 (about 11% of target), but commissioned production only about 8,000 tonnes a year by February 2026.
The 500 GW absolute target needs about 233 GW more by 2030, roughly the current run-rate, so it is on track but not assured. Green hydrogen is commitments signed, production barely begun.
A globally competitive, self-sufficient steel industry: meet domestic demand, cut imports of high-grade steel, and support infrastructure and manufacturing growth.
Promised
Crude steel capacity of 300 million tonnes by 2030-31, with production of 255 million tonnes.
Per-capita finished steel consumption of 160 kg (from about 60–70 kg in 2017).
Progress
Finished steel consumption reached 99.3 million tonnes in April-October 2026, up from 92.4 million tonnes a year earlier, a 7.5 percent rise. Annual crude steel capacity across producers stands at 223.0 million tonnes, with crude steel output of 99.1 million tonnes in the same seven months. India was a net importer of finished steel by quantity in this period, with imports of 4.90 million tonnes against exports of 3.98 million tonnes.
Crude steel capacity about 200.3 million tonnes (FY25); production 168.4 million tonnes crude (FY26). India is the world's second-largest crude steel producer.
Per-capita consumption about 100 kg (FY26), well below the 160 kg target with five years left.
Capacity is about two-thirds of the 300 million tonne target and needs about 20 million tonnes a year of net additions; per-capita consumption needs about 10 kg a year of growth against about 2–3 kg a year recently. Growing fast, target still distant.
A functional household tap connection, with 55 litres per person per day, for every rural household.
Promised
A tap in every rural home by 2024, with an outlay of ₹3.60 lakh crore.
Progress
Rural tap coverage reached 81.71% by 3 March 2026, about 15.82 crore of 19.36 crore rural households, up from 81.42% in mid-December 2025. Eleven States and UTs are already at 100%, so the remaining work is concentrated in a handful of laggard states. The 2028 deadline still leaves roughly 3.5 crore households to connect.
Rural tap coverage: 17% (3.23 crore households) in August 2019 to 81.42% (15.76 crore of 19.36 crore households) by 15 December 2025. Eleven States/UTs are at 100%.
The 2024 deadline was extended to 2028 (Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0, approved March 2026). The coverage gain, 12.5 crore homes, stands on its own.
Make India open defecation free and deliver universal sanitation, then sustain it through solid and liquid waste management in every village.
Promised
Open defecation free India by 2 October 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi. Phase II (2020-21 to 2025-26): ODF sustainability and ODF Plus model villages.
Progress
More than 12 crore individual household latrines built since October 2014; India declared ODF in October 2019.
More than 83% of villages ODF Plus (Model) by December 2025; urban waste processing up from 16% to 82%.
Independent surveys have questioned the 2019 ODF declaration on usage and sustainability; the construction numbers are the firmer measure, and Phase II is the government's own answer to that critique.
₹5 lakh of cashless hospital cover per family per year for the poorest 55 crore people, the world's largest government-funded health assurance scheme. Extended in October 2024 to all citizens aged 70 and above.
Promised
₹5 lakh cover per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation, for about 12 crore families.
Beneficiaries saved about ₹1.25–1.52 lakh crore in out-of-pocket expenditure (Economic Survey 2024-25).
Admission totals differ across releases (9.64 crore versus 10.30 crore in late 2025), likely different cut-off dates; the figures here are date-stamped September 2025.
A pucca house with basic amenities for every eligible household.
Promised
PMAY-Gramin: 2.95 crore houses by March 2024, now 4.95 crore by 2029 with 2 crore additional houses. PMAY-Urban: 1.12 crore houses, plus 1 crore more under PMAY-U 2.0 over five years.
Progress
The Centre approved 1.93 lakh more houses under PMAY-U 2.0 on 16 October 2026, taking cumulative sanctions to 20.80 lakh. The lot is for eligible urban EWS families in 11 states, with the largest shares in Uttar Pradesh (73,182) and Bihar (52,866), under beneficiary-led construction and affordable housing in partnership. PMAY-U 2.0, launched in September 2024, still offers up to ₹2.50 lakh a family toward 1 crore additional urban homes, so this sanction is a further step on that target.
PMAY-Gramin: 2.91 crore houses completed (December 2025). PMAY-Urban: 96.02 lakh completed and delivered (November 2025). Combined, about 3.87 crore houses by late 2025.
At least one basic bank account per household: universal financial inclusion, and the backbone of the JAM (Jan Dhan–Aadhaar–Mobile) trinity for Direct Benefit Transfer.
Promised
A zero-balance basic savings account for every household, with a RuPay card and overdraft facility.
Progress
56.16 crore accounts holding ₹2.68 lakh crore in deposits (August 2025, 11th anniversary); deposits about 12 times the August 2015 level.
Women hold 55.7% of accounts; 66.7% of accounts are in rural and semi-urban areas; 36.68–38.68 crore RuPay cards issued. About 13 crore accounts were inactive as of August 2025.
Rooftop solar for ordinary homes, with 300 units of free electricity a month and a subsidy of up to ₹78,000.
Promised
Rooftop solar in 1 crore households by 31 March 2027, with an outlay of ₹75,021 crore.
Progress
More than 65 lakh households have now joined PM Surya Ghar, up from 50.06 lakh in August 2026, putting the scheme past 65% of its one-crore-household target. The November 2026 Department of Financial Services buildings update already on this page is a separate sub-item and is not repeated here. The pace, about a lakh households every six days through the summer, is what carries the scheme toward its March 2027 target.
All 2,576 feasible buildings under the Department of Financial Services now have rooftop solar, totalling 61.50 MW of capacity, after 4,144 buildings were assessed for feasibility. The department took second place in the PM Surya Ghar Excellence Awards in the category ‘Maximum Buildings Solarized by Central Ministries/Departments’.
Over 50.06 lakh beneficiary households, with 14.8 GW of rooftop solar capacity commissioned, as of August 2026; ₹28,024 crore of subsidy released directly to beneficiaries.
Nearly 19 lakh households now receiving zero electricity bills; installations run at 1 lakh households every six days, and July 2026 recorded the highest-ever monthly figure (5.06 lakh households).
Figures are from the August 2026 government release.
Build a domestic semiconductor ecosystem, fabs, packaging, and design, to end import dependence for a strategic input and create supply-chain resilience.
Promised
A ₹76,000 crore incentive framework, with up to 50% fiscal support for silicon fabs, compound semiconductor facilities, assembly and testing, and chip design.
Progress
10 projects approved, about ₹1.60 lakh crore of investment, across six states (December 2025); 12 projects, about ₹1.64 lakh crore (May 2026).
Tata Electronics–PSMC fab at Dholera (₹91,526 crore, 50,000 wafer starts a month, 28 nm), first chip targeted for December 2026. Micron and Kaynes packaging units are already in commercial production.
Approvals are not output. As of late 2025 India had approved fabs but no domestically fabricated silicon chip in commercial production.
Compute capacity, indigenous foundation models, a datasets platform, AI applications, skills, startup financing, and safe and trusted AI.
Promised
10,000+ GPUs through public-private partnership, with an outlay of ₹10,371.92 crore over five years.
Progress
More than 38,000 GPUs onboarded (February 2026) at a subsidised ₹65 an hour, about a third of the global average; 12 teams funded to build indigenous foundation models; India ranked third in the Stanford Global AI Vibrancy Index 2025.
Only ₹400.94 crore disbursed by February 2026, about 3.9% of the five-year outlay, 23 months in.
GPU empanelment (vendor capacity pools) is not the same as cash spent or utilisation, and utilisation data is not publicly verified.
Cut logistics costs to make Indian goods globally competitive, with data-driven decisions and seamless multi-modal movement.
Promised
Logistics cost down from 13–14% of GDP to about 8% (single digits, the global benchmark) by 2030.
A top-25 rank in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index by 2030; India was 44th in 2018 and 38th in 2023.
Progress
A 2025 DPIIT–NCAER assessment, the first systematic measurement, puts logistics cost at 7.97% of GDP for FY2023-24 (₹24.01 lakh crore), already below the target, using a hybrid framework of 3,500+ industry stakeholders plus MOSPI, RBI, and GSTN data.
The old 13–14% figure was an estimate from partial and external data, not a systematic measurement: 13% of GDP for 2016 (Armstrong & Associates) and 10.9% of GVA in 2015 (AVALON for CII). The two numbers are not directly comparable.
The LPI rank target is still in progress: 38th in 2023, against a top-25 goal by 2030.
Do not present "target already met" as settled fact. The 7.97% is a new official measurement, and the measurement change itself is recent.
Reshape education to be equitable, flexible, multidisciplinary, and rooted in Indian ethos while meeting global standards; universalise access, end rote learning, and integrate vocational education.
Promised
100% gross enrolment in preschool to secondary education by 2030, and 50% in higher education by 2035 (from 26.3% in 2018).
100% youth and adult literacy; public investment in education at 6% of GDP; a new 5+3+3+4 curricular structure replacing 10+2.
Progress
Higher-education enrolment: 28.4% (2021-22), up from 26.3% in 2018 but far from 50% by 2035. Higher-secondary enrolment: 58.4% (2024-25), a long way from 100% through secondary by 2030.
Implementation is state-dependent and uneven; no single official national scorecard exists. Public spending on education remains about 3–4% of GDP, below the 6% goal.
The 2030 and 2035 enrolment targets are ambitious against current trajectories. The fair reading is structural reform underway (new curricula, 5+3+3+4 adoption) rather than enrolment targets achieved.
The Make in India reset: the vehicle that now carries the deferred 25% manufacturing target, through an inter-ministerial framework led by NITI Aayog.
Promised
Manufacturing at 25% of GDP by 2035; 143 million jobs; merchandise exports of US$1.2 trillion.
Progress
Announced in the Union Budget 2025-26 with an initial allocation of ₹100 crore, later reported expanded to ₹10,000 crore for greenfield projects and clusters. Implementation is underway through the NITI Aayog-led framework.
The 25% manufacturing target did not die; it moved to 2035 under this mission. Cite it whenever the Make in India miss is mentioned.
