Indiastat

Indiastat aggregates socioeconomic statistical data about India from 2000 to the present. Data are browsable by economic sector, state, and region. Visitors can view, print, or download data tables in spreadsheet, word processing, and web formats. Available statistics should add value for global business research, and Indiastat is the sole globally accessible source for much of this content. On the other hand, the product has a cumbersome user interface, poor searchability, and steep pricing. While the content may trump these concerns for institutions with specialized academic programs and research areas, most academic libraries will continue to rely on free statistical data provided by the Indian government and international nongovernmental organizations.
