What this measures
Operational National Waterways, in waterways. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways / PIB.
It stood at 5.00 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 32.00 by 2026 — a rise of 540%. 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.
