National Indicators

Domain scores are weighted formulas over official statistics — never editorial opinions. Expand any indicator to see exactly how its score is produced. Inputs are currently reference compilations from named official surveys; each will be replaced by live ingested series (MoSPI, NITI, RBI pipelines) as those adapters come online.

Economy

52/100

Concerning

Solid headline growth with a heavy informal sector and elevated inequality.

Indicator	Value	Weight	Source
Real GDP growth	6.5 % (FY25 prov.)	25%	MoSPI National Accounts, provisional estimates
CPI-C inflation	4.9 % (FY25 avg)	20%	MoSPI CPI
Fiscal deficit (Union)	4.8 % of GDP (FY25)	20%	Controller General of Accounts / Union Budget
HDI rank percentile	30.6 (rank ≈134/193)	25%	UNDP Human Development Report
Top-10% income share	57.7 %	10%	World Inequality Lab

Formula & rationale

Growth weighted highest (25%), then inflation management, fiscal consolidation and human-development context; inequality weighted lowest (10%). Each numeric input is normalised between explicit worst/best bounds and combined by the weights shown; “context” rows enter un-normalised.

Education

56/100

Moderate

Near-universal enrolment, but learning outcomes remain the binding constraint.

Indicator	Value	Weight	Source
Std V children who can read Std II text	43.3 %	35%	ASER 2024 (Annual Status of Education Report)
Literacy rate (7+ years)	74 % (est.)	20%	NSO / PLFS household surveys
Net enrolment, primary	97.8 %	20%	UDISE+ , Ministry of Education
GER, higher education	28.4 %	15%	AISHE, Ministry of Education

Formula & rationale

Learning outcome (ASER) weighted most at 35%; access measures are near-universal so carry less discriminating power. Each numeric input is normalised between explicit worst/best bounds and combined by the weights shown; “context” rows enter un-normalised.

Employment

46/100

Concerning

Low headline unemployment masks structural informality.

Indicator	Value	Weight	Source
Informal employment share	89 % (incl. informal agri)	40%	PLFS 2023-24, MoSPI
Female labour-force participation	41.7 % (all ages)	25%	PLFS Annual 2023-24
Youth unemployment (15-29)	16.5 %	20%	PLFS 2023-24
Headline unemployment rate	3.2 % (usual status)	15%	PLFS Annual 2023-24

Formula & rationale

Informality dominates (40%) because headline unemployment is a weak signal where most workers cannot afford to be unemployed. Each numeric input is normalised between explicit worst/best bounds and combined by the weights shown; “context” rows enter un-normalised.

Health

53/100

Concerning

Maternal and infant survival improving steadily; out-of-pocket burden stays high.

Indicator	Value	Weight	Source
Infant mortality rate	28 per 1,000 live births	25%	SRS 2020-22, Registrar General of India
Maternal mortality ratio	97 per 1,00,000 live births	20%	SRS Special Bulletin 2018-20
Under-5 stunting	35.5 %	20%	NFHS-5 (2019-21)
Out-of-pocket health spending	46.7 % of health expenditure	20%	National Health Accounts
HAQ index percentile	25.6 (rank ≈145/195)	15%	Lancet Global Burden of Disease

Formula & rationale

Child survival indicators weighted half; financing burden and international capability ranking share the rest. Each numeric input is normalised between explicit worst/best bounds and combined by the weights shown; “context” rows enter un-normalised.
