Industrial growth in India: Performance and prospects

In: Journal of development economics, Band 23, Heft 1, S. 1-18

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyse the trends in industrial growth since the mid-fifties and examine the factors that contributed to industrial stagnation after the mid-sixties. More specifically, the paper focuses on the pathology of the organised industrial sector while also documenting the broad trends in the unorganised sector. An attempt is made to draw some implications for policy if industrial growth is to be revived in the future. (DSE)
