National Highway construction speed
Modi aheadNo comparable cross-country series exists for this measure, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures
National Highway construction speed, in km per day. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways / PIB.
It stood at 12.10 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 33.83 by 2024 — a rise of 180%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.
No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
