  "note": "Monetary series are as published in the source: ₹ lakh (1 lakh = 100,000; 1 crore = 100 lakh). Count series (factories, persons) are plain counts. Survey years are fiscal (Apr–Mar), plotted at April of the first year. This is the NIC-1998 classification block, a separate ruler from the 2008 block — never spliced. The block publishes no GVA, no factories-in-operation and no employer's-contribution wage aggregate; wages incl. bonus is the closest served wage line.",
