The Economic Enterprises Data Tracker by the Centre for Economic Data & Analysis, brings together data on India’s formal and informal enterprises from Annual Survey of Industries (ASI), Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE), and earlier National Sample Survey (NSS). It standardizes key variables to provide insights on investment, productivity, credit, employment, and enterprise characteristics. Users can explore national and state-level trends through interactive charts, visualizations, and downloadable datasets. By integrating formal and informal sector data, the tool offers a fuller picture of India’s enterprise economy. Freely available under a Creative Commons license, it supports research, policymaking, and informed decision-making.
