About
Advait Rao
MA Economics, Delhi School of Economics
I write short policy notes with the numbers attached. If the table is dull, the conclusion stays dull. Recent briefs: a late procurement window in Punjab, a Delhi bus fare freeze, and a college where the scholarship form, not the amount, was the drop-off.

Bus fare freeze, Delhi 2025
Mapped who rides AC versus non-AC after the freeze. The freeze holds for short trips, not for the edge of the city.

Apr 2026
Late windows miss small holders
The MSP note is four pages because the table did not need a fifth. July is late if you cannot wait on the mandi.
Dec 2025
The freeze and the edge of the city
Short AC trips still look cheap. The last bus out of the edge does not. That is the freeze, not a slogan.
Aug 2025
Eligible, and still not filed
The scholarship amount was fine. The form was not. Take-up is a paperwork problem until someone counts the blanks.
