Browse the catalogue →Datanet India Pvt. Ltd. was established in New Delhi in 2000 to consolidate India's statistical record into a single, citable platform. The first edition of the Top 10 Yearbooks series was released in 2006. The indiastat.com data platform launches, becoming the standing reference for India's socio-economic data.
The publishing arm expands beyond data into reference monographs. The Constituency Factbook™, Assembly Factbook™and District Factbook™series were launched in 2017 to cover all parliamentary and state assembly constituencies and district-level socio-economic data. The first Election Atlas of India was also published in 2017.
Indiastat Publications is formally established as the academic-publishing imprint. The Election Atlas reaches its fourth edition. Two peer-reviewed quarterly journals — the Indian Journal of Electoral Studies and the Indian Journal of Socio-Economic Studies — are announced for 2026 launch.
Every table, chart, map and statistic is drawn from official and authoritative sources. Our role is not to create data, but to compile, verify and present dispersed information in a structured and accessible form for researchers, policymakers and informed citizens.
Government data often exists across numerous reports, departments and publications. We bring this information together and organise it according to meaningful political and geographical units—Parliamentary Constituencies, Assembly Constituencies, Districts, States and India as a whole—making complex information easier to access and understand.
Beyond compilation, our publications provide carefully curated comparisons, trends and contextual insights derived from official data. Every observation is grounded in documented evidence, allowing readers to interpret patterns without losing sight of the original source material.
Each publication is designed as a dependable reference resource. Whether it is a Parliamentary Constituency Factbook, an Assembly Constituency Factbook, a District Factbook or an Election Atlas, the objective remains the same: to provide a credible, data-driven foundation for research, planning, policymaking and informed public discourse.
