Our Data & Methodology
BiharInfraTales is an independent, open-data platform. Every figure on this site is sourced directly from an official government portal — not estimated, and not crowd-sourced. This page explains where the data comes from, how often it's refreshed, and how to report a correction.

How data is collected and kept current
Automated collectors read directly from each source portal listed above and store the records as-is; no figures are manually entered or extrapolated. Pages are refreshed on a schedule matched to how often the underlying government portal itself changes — tenders every 30 minutes, and slower-moving records like project status or cabinet decisions on an hourly-to-daily cycle.
Every entity page (tender, project, MLA, minister, cabinet decision) links back to what is publicly known about its source and shows the dates as recorded there — so any figure on this site can be checked against where it came from.
Frequently Asked Questions
- QWhere does BiharInfraTales get its data from?
- All data is sourced directly from official Government of Bihar and Government of India portals — including the Bihar eProcurement portal, GeM, RCD PMIS, NHAI, BRPNNL, East Central Railway, the MoEFCC Parivesh portal, MPLADS records, Bihar Cabinet Secretariat releases, and ECI election affidavits. Nothing is estimated or crowd-sourced.
- QHow often is the data updated?
- Tender data is refreshed automatically every 30 minutes. Project, cabinet, and clearance data is refreshed on a schedule matched to how often the source portal itself changes, typically hourly to daily. Each entity page shows its own status and dates as recorded in the source.
- QIs this an official government website?
- No. BiharInfraTales is an independent open-data platform that aggregates and structures publicly available government data for easier search and tracking. It is not affiliated with the Government of Bihar or Government of India. Always verify time-sensitive details (like tender deadlines) against the original source portal before acting on them.
- QWhat if I find incorrect or outdated data?
- Source portals occasionally contain errors, and our scrapers can occasionally miss an update. If you spot something incorrect, use the Contact page to report it with the page URL — corrections are verified against the original source and applied.
