Abstract
Regional industrial growth has
been a key area of interest for
both scholars and policymakers.
The literature argues that uneven
regional industrial growth aggravates
the regional disparities in
overall economic growth and development.
This paper examines
the state-level manufacturing
performance of India by analyzing
the growth in manufacturing
employment, value-added and
labor productivity in the 20 states
during the period from 2001-02
to 2013-14. The paper finds that
regional industrial disparities
continue to persist but show a
declining trend in the post 2007-
08 period. This decline is due to
the relatively improved performance
of states such as
Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh
and Assam. The improvement appears
to be an outcome of the
effective implementation of industrial
policies in these states.
