Long track record of covering India and @narendramodi eh ? Let's look at the past 4 Climate Transparency Reports since Paris 2016, to confirm your tracking capability:

Not looking good for your reporting skills. @business is American. The US lists as critically insufficient.
Business mags are read by businessmen. They depend on accurate data being presented. Failing that, the magazine has no value beyond tabloid journalism.
5/
@business You're simply a reporter. You do not define the metrics here. Metrics are in the CTRs, or in CCPI 2021: germanwatch.org/en/19552
6/
What you're doing is point to your prior article as evidence. All that proves is that you agree with yourself.
You're a reporter - report the data - CTR, CCPI. Links are right up here.
Writing alarmist puff pieces and then saying you agree with yourself is silly.

Fast forward 15 years to 2000. Not a lot has changed. It wasn't a mischaracterization'for India to be viewed on par with Sub-Saharan Africa well into the 2000s - income wise India was middle of this pack . That's just how bad things were 50 years into the republic.

Things were not much better looking at Asia in 2000. Pakistan was way ahead, with a GDP PPP per capita higher than even China then. Only Cambodia had a lower income in the ASEAN.
India was poorer than Haiti at the turn of the century. All of the Americas were richer.
The IPL is also far more lucrative in revenue per game, despite the fact that with a mere 74 games, it’s in the bottom 5 of sports leagues by number of games played per season.
Each of those games is a money spinner. Let’s look at how much.
2/
In terms of total revenue, the IPL ranks a reasonable 13th position among global leagues, despite having so few games in a single season.
There are only three countries on the planet with $1 trillion+ exports - China, USA and Germany. Even Japan is around $850-900B in FY 2021.
India jumped ~10 ranking places to provisionally #8 this year. Positions 4-7 are Japan, UK, France and Netherlands - all $700-900B.
India began 1949 the 9th biggest exporter.
It left the top 10 by end of that year.
It left the top 20 in 1957.
It reentered the top 20 in 2010, but didn't rise further until 2017-18 when it was 18th ranked. 2021-22 saw a big jump to 8th position.
Today was a day of symmetry as the vaccination total hit 175 crore (1.75 billion), exactly on day 400 since start of vaccination. This corresponds to an average of almost 4.4 million vaccinations a day, over four hundred days.
The monthly total to date is now almost 88 million. February should easily cross 100 million and will likely finish at around 125 million. This is expected as it is predominantly second dose + boosters. March will be much higher as the 12+ group becomes eligible.
2/
With even the second dose numbers not very high now, the daily average over the past week was just 4 million - multiple days towards the end of week being around 3.98 million, and thus still in the 3.x bucket.
