A penetrative, time-poor-friendly research portal anchored on India's first decadal census in over a decade —
treated as a foundational valuation reset across 5, 20 and 40-year horizons.
Every data point on this site carries its source, its “as-of” date, and its verification stamp.
Census 2027 will trigger Lok Sabha seat reallocation under Article 82, shifting representation from low-fertility South to high-fertility North. We track the projected delta and the legislative window in which it lands.
Investment implication
Multi-year overhang on fiscal-transfer formulae; watch state-borrowing spreads for repricing as draft maps emerge.
Global linkFederal-power realignment — comparable to US post-census reapportionment cycles
E · EconomicShort / Medium · 5–10y
Per-Capita GDP Recalibration
pre-census baselineUSD nominal
Current per-capita figures rest on UN/MOSPI projections from the 2011 census. The 2027 release will reset both numerator (state GDP) and denominator (population), shifting state rankings and finance-commission devolution.
Investment implication
State-level sovereign-spread differentials may widen post-2027; INR-denominated state bonds become a narrative trade.
Global linkEmerging-market index reweighting — analogous to MSCI EM revisions after major data resets.

South India Aging Index
TFR 1.6children per woman (TN/KL avg)
Tamil Nadu and Kerala already track sub-replacement fertility. The 20-year horizon hinges on confirming the speed of southern aging vs. continued northern youth bulges — the structural axis the 2027 census will quantify state-by-state.
Investment implication
Accelerated industrial-robotics adoption in TN/Karnataka manufacturing nodes; tailwind for Indian factory-automation integrators.
The 2027 census is treated as the central data drop. Every metric is filtered through 5-10y, 20y and 40y investment horizons drawn from the project blueprint.
Built for the time-poor
Bento-grid dashboard, 30-second briefs, explicit investment-implication callouts. If a chart can't be read in half a minute, it gets redesigned.
Auditable by design
Every card cites a primary or official-secondary source with an as-of date and a verifier. The full audit log lives in content/06-audit-log.md and in this repo's git history.
