Hi,

I posted on their github repo and they've replied with lot more details and 
opportunities for collaboration if anyone is interested. There seems to be 
a map created by IndiaSpend in this regard. You can join in the 
conversation there:

Re: [datameet] Data Story: In 6 years, forest land the size of Nagaland diverted

[Nikhil VJ]

It would be great if there was a publicly available map of all projects.

This seems to be the repo mentioned:
https://github.com/pratikunterwegs/forest-clearance-india

(the news article as is typical of Indian media outlets makes sure to never
link to the sources they're talking about - I got this on searching the web)

[datameet] Data Story: In 6 years, forest land the size of Nagaland diverted

[Thejesh GN]

Forest land nearly equal to the size of Nagaland has been approved for
diversion between 2014 and 2020 or is pending to be approved for various
infrastructure and developmental projects such as mining, irrigation, and
regularisation of encroachments, according to an analysis by Vijay Ramesh,
a PhD student at Columbia University.

*Ramesh has analysed 48,000 clearance proposals using the R programming
language (the raw data is available on GitHub). He sourced the forest
clearance data from the Union environment ministry’s Parivesh website,
which has details of all clearances divided into two sections—before 2014
and after 2014.*
