What this measures
Mobile phone import dependence by units, in percent of domestic demand; lower is better. A falling number is an improvement. Reported by MeitY / PIB.
It stood at 74.00 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 0.800 by 2024 — a fall of 99%. 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.

Different official releases use 'share made in India' and 'import dependence' definitions; compare cautiously.
The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
