NJDG (National Judicial Data Grid)

Definition

The National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) is an online database and monitoring dashboard under the eCourts project that aggregates pending and disposed case data from district courts, high courts, and select tribunals across India. It provides case-pendency statistics by court, case type, and age of case, and is publicly accessible for transparency into judicial workload and delays.

Who this is for

Why It Matters

NJDG gives legal and collections teams a data-backed view of expected timelines for a given court or case type, which supports realistic case strategy, provisioning for long-pending recovery matters, and management reporting. Benchmarking a portfolio against NJDG pendency data helps leadership set expectations and prioritise matters likely to drag.
