Patterns across all MPs

What the money builds, who gets paid, which district agencies deliver, how citizens rate finished works, and which MPs have something worth asking about. Every number comes straight from the eSAKSHI data.

Sanction: the step between an MP’s recommendation and work on the ground

Concentration index (HHI)

Highly competitive, spread across many vendors (scale 0–10,000)

The Herfindahl–Hirschman Index adds up the squared market shares of every vendor. It is near 0 when payments are spread across many vendors and 10,000 when one vendor gets everything. Nationally it should be low, because works are built by local contractors. Concentration within a single MP’s works is shown on each MP’s page and in the list below.

Top 20 vendors by amount paid

Being on this list says nothing about wrongdoing; large vendors often run many small works.

Worth asking about

300 MPs meet at least one of the rules below. A flag is a prompt for questions to an MP or district office. It is not a finding of wrongdoing: data may lag, and some patterns have good reasons.

No works recommended 32

Rule: At least ₹2.5 Cr allocated and not a single work recommended. Mostly reflects: MP.

Most funds not yet used 40

Rule: At least ₹2.5 Cr allocated, and works recommended for less than 25% of it (MoSPI’s utilisation measure). Mostly reflects: MP.

Works waiting for sanction 119

Rule: At least 10 recommended works, and at least 40% of all this MP’s recommended works, still not sanctioned more than 45 days after recommendation (the guideline deadline). Mostly reflects: District authority.

Recommended, but little spent 31

Rule: At least half the allocation recommended, but under 10% paid out to vendors. Mostly reflects: District authority & agencies.

No completed works reported 44

Rule: 20 or more works recommended and none reported complete. Mostly reflects: District authority & agencies.

Payments concentrated with one vendor 96

Rule: One vendor received 50% or more of at least ₹1 Cr paid, across 5 or more payments. Mostly reflects: District authority.
