From digital connectivity to sanitation and child mortality, Narendra Modi's tenure has impacted day-to-day life for over 1.2 billion people.
In May 2014, Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured the largest election victory in three decades amid a backlash over a bevy of corruption scandals and policy missteps that pushed growth to near decade lows.
With this historic mandate, India's prime minister has pushed through a slew of big-bang reforms, including the introduction of a goods-and-service tax, a reduction in fuel subsidies, and the implementation of an inflation target. Modi also embarked this month on the biggest gamble of his political career through a controversial ban on high-value currency notes. India's biggest crackdown against corruption in almost four decades risks an economic slowdown and a popular backlash.
At the halfway point of his five-year tenure, these charts show how the prime minister has Modi-fied one of the world's fastest-growing large economies.
