An independent record of what India does abroad.

A public database of the humanitarian assistance, development projects and financing India has extended to other countries since 1 April 2000. It currently holds 15 humanitarian operations, 26 recorded development projects, 732 budget lines and 300 credit facilities across 68 countries with recorded Indian assistance.

It is not exhaustive. Several registers are still being expanded, and where coverage is partial the page says so rather than implying completeness.

When India sends relief after an earthquake, the announcement circulates for a day and then disappears. The budget figures live in PDFs. The credit lines live in a spreadsheet on a bank's website. Nobody can see the whole picture, which means the record is both under-appreciated and impossible to check.

The view here is that India's contribution is impressive on the evidence, and does not need help. So the rules are strict: grants and loans are never merged, running totals are never double-counted, and physical aid is never given an invented rupee value.

Everything comes from published Government of India material — the Union Budget Demands for Grants, the Exim Bank credit register, MEA and PIB releases, Indian missions abroad, Parliament answers and CAG reports.

An automated pipeline checks those sources on a schedule and decides, by deterministic rules, whether a figure can be published, must wait, or should be discarded. Nobody approves records by hand — but nothing reaches the site unless the figure appears literally in an official document. The full method is here.

• A loan is never presented as a gift.
• A budget allocation is never presented as money spent.
• Commercial supply is never presented as a donation.
• Physical assistance is never converted into a monetary figure by this site.
• A running total never gets added to the consignments inside it.
• Where two official sources disagree, neither is published until it is resolved.
• Where a figure has no direct source link, the page says so.

This is an independently run project. An operator name and contact address will be published here once they are settled — rather than inventing an organisation that does not exist. Corrections can be sent through the form below in the meantime.

It takes no money from any government, and no advertising. It is supported entirely by readers who choose to contribute. Support the project.

If a figure looks wrong, please say so. Reports go into the same queue the automated pipeline uses, and a correction to a published figure is shown on the page with its history.

Every dataset here is downloadable as CSV or JSON, with a generated timestamp and a link to the method. Download the data.
