Tracking India’s Real Economic Rise – Free Dashboard with Official Data

Hi r/AskEconomics ,

I’ve been deep into India’s macro story for years, and one thing keeps standing out: the gap between headline GDP numbers and what’s actually happening on the ground is massive.

So I built GraphiQuestor — a free, no-login macro dashboard that pulls clean data from RBI, MoSPI, and other official sources to show India’s real performance.

Here are a few datapoints that surprised me recently:

• GDP per Capita Convergence: Since 2008, India’s GDP per capita (constant prices) has grown +121% while the US grew just +24%. The gap is closing faster than most people realize.

• Capex vs Freebies Shift: Central and state governments are slowly moving spending from revenue expenditure (subsidies & committed costs) toward capital expenditure (infrastructure). The national Capex-to-Revenue ratio is improving — a structural positive for long-term growth.

• Digitization & Formalization Premium: UPI volumes and RBI’s Digital Payments Index show India leading the G20 emerging markets in formalization speed. This is creating real efficiency gains that aren’t fully reflected in valuations yet.

• State-Level Reality: Not all states are equal. The dashboard has a fiscal heatmap showing which states are managing Debt/GSDP and deficits better — very useful if you’re looking at state-specific opportunities or SDL spreads.

The entire site is free, ad-free, and built for people who actually want to understand India’s macro pulse beyond the noise.

Would genuinely love your feedback:

• What India macro signals do you track most?

• Does the state-level data help with your investment thinking?

• Anything missing that would make this more useful for you?

Happy to add features based on what the community actually needs.

Thanks!

Best, Kartikay
