Sub-sectors, ranked by volume

Grant rate = granted ÷ (granted + ToR-granted + in-process); PARIVESH auto-delisted applications are excluded from that denominator. Green ≥65%, rust <40%. "Leaders" are shares of that sub-sector's granted clearances.

Source — PARIVESH 2.0 open API (parivesh.nic.in/parivesh_api/trackYourProposal/advanceSearchData?majorClearanceType=1), full Environmental Clearance register, fetched 2026-07-22. Sub-sector = the EIA-schedule Activity code carried on each proposal ("1(a) Mining of minerals", "5(f) Synthetic organic chemicals", …). 8,037 proposals carry no parseable activity code and are excluded from the sub-sector view but kept in state totals. "Delisted" (25,061 proposals) is PARIVESH's auto-cleanup of inactive applications — excluded from grant-rate denominators. Data + refresh script: github.com/herrrickshaw/india-ec-subsector-analysis.
