In 2023, almost half of India’s GDP was generated by the services sector, a slight and steady increase over the last 10 years. Among the leading services industries in the country are telecommunications, IT, and software. The IT factorThe IT industry is a vital part of India’s economy, and in the fiscal year of 2016/2017, it generated about 8 percent of India’s GDP alone – a slight decrease from previous years, when it made up about 10 percent of the country’s economy. Nevertheless, the IT industry is growing, as is evident by its quickly increasing revenue and employment figures. IT includes software development, consulting, software management, and online services, and business process management (BPM). Employee migrationAlthough employment figures in IT, and thus in the services sector, are on the rise, most of the Indian workforce is still employed in agriculture, however, the figures show a trend pointing towards a reversal of this distribution. For now, the majority of Indians still do not live in cities – where IT jobs are generated – but urbanization is on the rise as well.

In 2023, 43.51 percent of the workforce in India were employed in agriculture, while the other half was almost evenly distributed among the two other sectors, industry and services. While the share of Indians working in agriculture is declining, it is still the main sector of employment. A BRIC powerhouseTogether with Brazil, Russia, and China, India makes up the four so-called BRIC countries. They are the four fastest-growing emerging countries dubbed BRIC, an acronym, by Jim O’Neill at Goldman Sachs. Being major economies themselves already, these four countries are said to be at a similar economic developmental stage -- on the verge of becoming industrialized countries -- and maybe even dominating the global economy. Together, they are already larger than the rest of the world when it comes to GDP and simple population figures. Among these four, India is ranked second across almost all key indicators, right behind China. Services on the riseWhile most of the Indian workforce is still employed in the agricultural sector, it is the services sector that generates most of the country’s GDP. In fact, when looking at GDP distribution across economic sectors, agriculture lags behind with a mere 15 percent contribution. Some of the leading services industries are telecommunications, software, textiles, and chemicals, and production only seems to increase – currently, the GDP in India is growing, as is employment.

India's agriculture sector was the leading industry in terms of employment in the financial year 2023 with the number of employees tallying over *** million. Meanwhile, the mining industry recorded almost *** million employees. The services sector is the next big sector in India after agriculture. Challenges facing the agriculture sector Agriculture is the mainstay of India’s workforce. It employs over 42 percent of India’s population. However, it is the lowest contributor to the country’s GDP when compared to other major sectors. Despite being one of the largest producers of crops in the world, agricultural productivity remains low. Key issues impacting productivity include the decreasing size of landholdings, dependence on monsoons, inadequate access to irrigation, lack of access to credit and finance for marginal farmers, inadequate agricultural infrastructure, vulnerability to market volatility, and climate change, among others. Service sector: Key GDP contributor The service sector contributes a lion’s share to India’s GDP. Driven by investments and a skilled workforce, India has now positioned itself on the global stage for services. Information technology, financial services, and communications are the key performing subsectors within the service industry. However, the rising labor productivity in the sector has reduced the demand for labor. This gap in output and employment parallels the disproportionately larger share of the service sector in GDP than employment.

Abstract

An all-India survey on unorganized manufacturing enterprises was carried out by the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) as a part of the 62nd round of National Sample Survey (NSS) during July 2005 - June 2006. Other subjects of inquiry were household consumer expenditure, employment and unemployment. Past surveys provided information on various operational characteristics of enterprises like location of enterprise, nature of operation, maintenance of accounts etc. in detail, as well as detailed estimates of employment, assets & borrowings. The 62nd survey round provides information on input, output & value added of unorganized manufacturing enterprises at all India level for different industry groups and at the level of States / UTs for all the industry groups taken together.

The manufacturing sector is one of the important sectors of industry in the Indian economy. As per the latest available National Accounts Statistics, during 2006-07, the manufacturing sector had a share of about 16% in the GDP at factor cost. For the purpose of data collection, the manufacturing sector has been broadly sub-divided into two categories i.e. organized and unorganized. While data for organized manufacturing sector are collected through Annual Survey of Industries (ASI), the same for unorganized manufacturing sector are collected periodically through sample surveys as follow-up surveys of Economic Censuses (EC). The unorganized manufacturing sector has roughly about one-third share in the total contribution by the manufacturing sector in the GDP.

Recognizing the importance of the unorganized manufacturing sector in terms of its share in GDP as well as in total employment, NSS has taken up this subject in many of its rounds. That way collection of data on unorganized manufacture has a long history in the NSS. In fact, the very first round of NSS had small-scale manufacturing and handicrafts as one of its subjects of enquiry. Thereafter, data on small-scale manufacture were collected also in the NSS rounds 3-10, 14, 23 and 29. These surveys used the list of villages from Population Census and list of census enumeration blocks, or lists of Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks of NSSO subject to their availability, as the sampling frame for selection of villages / urban blocks.

A review of the surveys conducted by NSSO in the initial rounds mentioned above indicated that a better sampling frame was necessary to generate more accurate statistics of the unorganized sector. The need for auxiliary information on areas of concentration of enterprises for stratification purpose was strongly felt for developing more efficient sampling designs. This demand ultimately culminated in the conduct of periodic Economic Censuses (EC), which provided the frame for the follow-up surveys on non-agricultural enterprises including those engaged in unorganized manufacturing.

With the launching of the EC in 1977 (five ECs have been conducted so far), the follow-up surveys of EC on unorganized manufacturing generally used the village and block level information on number of enterprises/workers as per the EC for selection of villages and urban blocks in the follow-up surveys. The approach of data collection from enterprises was also changed from the 'household approach' used earlier (i.e. prior to the launching of EC) to the 'site approach' whenever such sites existed. So far NSS has conducted six follow-up surveys of EC through rounds 33rd (1978-79), 40th (1984-85), 45th (1989-90), 51st (1994-95), 56th (2000-01), and 62nd (2005-06) with unorganized manufacture as the main subject of enquiry. In the 62nd round of NSS, area frame thrown up by the latest EC (1998) was however used only partially because the frame was considered to be old. However, for 27 cities having a population of one million or more (as per Census 2001) which are likely to have a substantial share in the total number of unorganized manufacturing enterprises in the country, a decision was taken to make use of the list of urban blocks giving count of number of enterprises/workers at the block level as per EC 1998 as the sampling frame for stratification and selection of urban blocks. For the remaining towns/cities, latest lists of UFS blocks were used as the sampling frame2. In case of rural areas, list of villages (or panchayat wards in case of Kerala) of Census 2001 served as the sampling frame for selection of villages as the first stage units (FSUs).

Geographic coverage

The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except (i) Leh and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) interior village of Nagaland situated beyond five kilometers of bus route and (iii) villages of Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year. All the sample FSUs of the districts Poonch and Rajouri of the state of Jammu and Kashmir became casualty. Thus, the estimates for Jammu and Kashmir as well as for all-India do not include these areas.

Unorganized manufacturing enterprises not covered by ASI, under the two-digit codes 15 to 37 (Section 'D') of NIC-2004 and enterprises under cotton ginning, cleaning and baling (NIC-2004, code 01405). All government and public sector undertakings were outside the coverage of the survey. It is to be noted that only those enterprises, which operated for at least 30 days (15 days for seasonal enterprises) during the last 365 days preceding the date of survey, were eligible for survey.

Sampling procedure

One salient feature of the sample design adopted during the 62nd round was the use of list frame, in addition to the usual area frame, which was done to capture sufficient number of relatively 'bigger' enterprises with a view to improving the overall estimate of gross value added per worker, total number of workers, total input, total output, etc. A list of 8,000 big non-ASI manufacturing enterprises2 for the urban sector only was prepared as per the data of the census of manufacturing enterprises conducted by Development Commissioner of Small Scale Industries (DCSSI) in 2003. This list served as the list frame. All these units in the list frame were considered for survey without resorting to any sampling. For the coverage of all other enterprises in the universe, the usual area frame approach was followed for sampling of enterprises in stages. It is important to mention that this dual frame approach was experimented for the first time in the 62nd round. The effectiveness of using the list frame has been discussed under Chapter four.

In the area frame approach, the list of all the villages (panchayat wards in case of Kerala) / urban blocks of the country served as the sampling frame of first stage units (FSUs). Thus, the FSUs were villages (panchayat wards in case of Kerala) in the rural sector and urban blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units were enterprises in both the sectors. However, in case of large FSUs requiring hamlet-group (hg) / sub-block (sb) formation, one intermediate stage in the sampling involved the selection of two hg's / sb's from each FSU out of a minimum of three hg's/sb's formed in the FSU. Of these two selected hg's/sb's, one was selected with probability '1' (termed as segment 1) and another one (termed as segment 2) was selected from among the remaining hg's/sb's of the FSU at random. The hg/sb selected with certainty (i.e. segment 1) was the hg/sb having maximum number of directory manufacturing establishments (DMEs) (or with maximum number of non-directory manufacturing establishments (NDMEs) if there was no DME, or with maximum number of own account manufacturing enterprises (OAMEs) if there was no DME/NDME, or with maximum population if there was no DME/NDME/OAME3 in the entire FSU). Smaller FSUs without any hg/sb formation were identified/categorized as segment 1 for the purpose of survey (segment 2 does not exist for such FSUs). As regards the first stage stratification, two basic strata were formed within each district of a State/UT: rural stratum comprising all rural areas of the district and urban stratum consisting of all urban areas of the district. However, each city with a population of one million or more as per Census 2001 was invariably treated as a separate stratum by itself. For details of stratification, sub-stratification and selection of sample FSUs, reference may be made to Appendix-B of of the final report no.526.

For each of segments 1 and 2 for the selected sample FSUs, a frame of eligible enterprises was prepared by the field investigators by visiting each and every house/household within the selected geographical area. While doing so, if any enterprise of the list frame was encountered, care was taken not to list it again within segment 1 or 2 as a part of the area sample / area frame to guard against duplication of enterprises between the two types of frames. Listing and sampling of enterprises in the area frame was independent for each of segments 1 and 2. In this context, it may be mentioned that for each selected FSU of rural sub-strata 1 and 2 only (see Appendix B for composition of these two sub-strata), segment 9 was also carved out within the FSU, which comprised top 10 big non-ASI registered SSI enterprises (identified by jointly considering the number of workers in the enterprise and gross value of output of the enterprise) located within the boundaries of the entire FSU. The list of such units for selected FSUs was made available to the field investigators in order to facilitate formation of segment 9. Respective frames of segments 1 and 2 in these FSUs excluded the units listed under segment 9. The effectiveness of the formation of segment 9 has been discussed under Chapter

In 2024, India’s end-user spending on public cloud services is estimated to reach 11.7 billion U.S. dollars, more than four times higher from 2019’s 2.9 billion U.S. dollars. The leading segments of public cloud services was the cloud application infrastructure services and cloud system infrastructure services. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of adopting cloud services due to the demand for telecommuting and business continuity.

The Indian manufacturing sector, valued at $310.30 million in 2025, is poised for robust growth, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.11% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Government initiatives promoting "Make in India" are attracting significant foreign direct investment and stimulating domestic production. Rising disposable incomes and a burgeoning middle class are driving increased demand for consumer goods, particularly in the automotive, consumer electronics, and food and beverage sectors. Furthermore, India's strategic location and relatively low labor costs compared to other manufacturing hubs make it an increasingly attractive destination for global manufacturers. The sector is segmented by ownership (public, private, joint, cooperative), raw materials used (agro-based, mineral-based), and end-user industries (automotive, manufacturing, textile, consumer electronics, construction, food & beverage, others). Leading players such as Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Hindustan Unilever, and others contribute significantly to the market's dynamism. However, challenges remain, including infrastructure bottlenecks, skill gaps in the workforce, and navigating complex regulatory environments. Overcoming these hurdles will be crucial to fully realizing the sector's growth potential. Despite challenges, the forecast for the Indian manufacturing sector is optimistic. Continued growth in key end-user industries like automotive and consumer electronics, coupled with government support for infrastructure development and skill enhancement programs, will likely accelerate the market expansion. The diversification of the manufacturing base beyond traditional sectors, embracing technological advancements, and focusing on sustainable practices will play a critical role in the sector’s long-term success. The presence of established multinational corporations alongside a vibrant domestic industry ensures a competitive and dynamic marketplace, positioning India as a significant manufacturing powerhouse in the coming years. Recent developments include: January 2023: Sundram Fasteners, an auto component manufacturer, won the biggest EV contract in its 60-year history. The Chennai-based company was awarded a USD 250 million contract by a leading global automobile manufacturer to supply sub-assemblies for its electric vehicle (EV) platform. The company estimates an annual sales peak of USD 52 million in 2026 with a supply of 1.5 million drive unit sub-assemblies per annum.January 2023: Tata Motors (an Indian multinational automotive manufacturing company) announced plans to set up plants in India and Europe to produce battery cells for electric vehicles. The company dominates the country's EV market, with total sales of 50,000 electric cars to date. It outlined plans to launch 10 electric models by March 2026.. Key drivers for this market are: The government has introduced several initiatives under the banner of "Make in India", India boasts a sizable pool of skilled labor, facilitating the establishment of manufacturing facilities for companies in various sectors. Potential restraints include: The government has introduced several initiatives under the banner of "Make in India", India boasts a sizable pool of skilled labor, facilitating the establishment of manufacturing facilities for companies in various sectors. Notable trends are: Growing Government Spending is Expected to Boost the Market’s Growth.

Industrial Production in India increased 1.50 percent in June of 2025 over the same month in the previous year. This dataset provides - India Industrial Production - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The statistic shows the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in India from 1987 to 2030. In 2020, the estimated gross domestic product per capita in India amounted to about 1,915.55 U.S. dollars. See figures on India's economic growth here. For comparison, per capita GDP in China had reached about 6,995.25 U.S. dollars in 2013. India's economic progress India’s progress as a country over the past decade can be attributed to a global dependency on cheaper production of goods and services from developed countries around the world. India’s economy is built upon its agriculture, manufacturing and services sector, which, along with its drastic rise in population and demand for employment, led to a significant increase of the nation’s GDP per capita. Despite experiencing rather momentous economic gains since the mid 2000s, the Indian economy stagnated around 2012, with a decrease in general growth as well as the value of its currency. Residents and consumers in India have recently shown pessimism regarding the future of the Indian economy as well as their own financial situation, and with the recent economic standstill, consumer confidence in the country could potentially lower in the near future. Typical Indian exports consist of agricultural products, jewelry, chemicals and ores. Imports consist primarily of crude oil, gold and precious stones, used primarily in the manufacturing of jewelry. As a result, India has seen a rather highly increased demand of several gems in order to boost their jewelry industry and in general their exports. Although India does not export an extensive amount of goods, especially when considering the stature of the country, India has remained as one of the world’s largest exporters.

The trade, hotels, transport, and communication industries had the highest GVA growth rate of ** percent among all other industries in India in the financial year 2022. Overall, the services sector registered the highest growth compared to the agriculture and industry sectors. Public administration, defense and other services industries were expected to have a GVA growth of over **** percent in the financial year 2025.
What is GVA? GVA or gross value added is the value of goods and services produced by an industry, sector, manufacturer, or region in an economy and is used to calculate the GDP of a country. GDP combines all GVA values across industries, levies taxes, and subsidies. While GDP calculates an overall number of goods produced by a nation, GVA measures the value added to the product. It is the difference between gross and net production. The sectoral analysis provided by GVA helps policymakers create sector-specific policies and make decisions regarding incentives. The National Statistical Office (NSO) publishes estimates of GVA in India on a quarterly and annual basis, elaborating on eight main types of commodities. Services sector In India India’s services sector covers a wide range of industries including trade, hotels, restaurants, IT-BPM, storage, communication, financing, insurance, real estate, business services, etc. Numerous government projects like Smart Cities, Clean Cities, and Digital India are strengthening the growth of the services sector. The sector also attracts significant foreign direct investment and contributes massively to exports, although agriculture accounts for the majority of the employed population.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in India expanded 7.40 percent in the first quarter of 2025 over the same quarter of the previous year. This dataset provides - India GDP Annual Growth Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The statistic shows GDP in India from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, GDP in India was at around 3.91 trillion U.S. dollars, and it is expected to reach six trillion by the end of the decade. See figures on India's economic growth here, and the Russian GDP for comparison. Historical development of the Indian economy In the 1950s and 1960s, the decision of the newly independent Indian government to adopt a mixed economy, adopting both elements of both capitalist and socialist systems, resulted in huge inefficiencies borne out of the culture of interventionism that was a direct result of the lackluster implementation of policy and failings within the system itself. The desire to move towards a Soviet style mass planning system failed to gain much momentum in the Indian case due to a number of hindrances, an unskilled workforce being one of many.When the government of the early 90’s saw the creation of small-scale industry in large numbers due to the removal of price controls, the economy started to bounce back, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union - India’s main trading partner - the hampering effects of socialist policy on the economy were exposed and it underwent a large-scale liberalization. By the turn of the 21st century, India was rapidly progressing towards a free-market economy. India’s development has continued and it now belongs to the BRICS group of fast developing economic powers, and the incumbent Modi administration has seen India's GDP double during its first decade in power.

Abstract

Introduction

The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal source of industrial statistics in India. It provides statistical information to assess changes in the growth, composition and structure of organised manufacturing sector comprising activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, gas and water supply and cold storage. The Survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act 1953, and the Rules framed there-under in 1959, except in the State of Jammu & Kashmir where it is conducted under the State Collection of Statistics Act, 1961 and the rules framed there-under in 1964.

Geographic coverage

The ASI extends to the entire country except the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Sikkim and Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948 i.e. those factories employing 10 or more workers using power; and those employing 20 or more workers without using power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi & Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1966 with coverage as above. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) were covered under ASI irrespective of their employment size. Certain servicing units and activities like water supply, cold storage, repairing of motor vehicles and other consumer durables like watches etc. are covered under the Survey. Though servicing industries like motion picture production, personal services like laundry services, job dyeing, etc. are covered under the Survey but data are not tabulated, as these industries do not fall under the scope of industrial sector defined by the United Nations.

Analysis unit

The primary unit of enumeration in the survey is a factory in the case of manufacturing industries, a workshop in the case of repair services, an undertaking or a licensee in the case of electricity, gas & water supply undertakings and an establishment in the case of bidi & cigar industries. The owner of two or more establishments located in the same State and pertaining to the same industry group and belonging to same scheme (census or sample) is, however, permitted to furnish a single consolidated return. Such consolidated returns are common feature in the case of bidi and cigar establishments, electricity and certain public sector undertakings.

Merging of unit level data

As per existing policy to merge unit level data at ultimate digit level of NIC'08 (i.e., 5 digit) for the purpose of dissemination, the data have been merged for industries having less than three units within State, District and NIC-08 (5 Digit) with the adjoining industries within district and then to adjoining districts within a state. There may be some NIC-08 (5 Digit) ending with '9' that do not figure in the book of NIC '08. These may be treated as 'Others' under the corresponding 4-digit group. To suppress the identity of factories data fields corresponding to PSL number, Industry code as per Frame (4-digit level of NIC-09) and RO/SRO code have been filled with '9' in each record.

It may please be noted that, tables generated from the merged data may not tally with the published results for few industries, since the merging for published data has been done at aggregate-level to minimise the loss of information.

Universe

The survey cover factories registered under the Factory Act 1948. Establishments under the control of the Defence Ministry,oil storage and distribution units, restaurants and cafes and technical training institutions not producing anything for sale or exchange were kept outside the coverage of the ASI. The geographical coverage of the Annual Survey of Industries, 2009-10 has been extended to the entire country except the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Sikkim and Union Territory of Lakshadweep.

Kind of data

Census and Sample survey data [cen/ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sample Design and Sample Allocation

There has not been any major change in the sampling strategy of ASI 2009-10 from that of ASI 2008-2009. The Census Sector has been defined as follows:

a) All industrial units belonging to the six less industrially developed states/ UT’s viz. Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. b) For the rest of the twenty-six states/ UT’s., (i) units having 100 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.

Strata (State by 4-digit of NIC-04) having less than or equal to four units after selecting the Census Sector units as defined above are also selected as census sector.

From the remaining frame, samples were drawn considering a uniform sampling fraction of 19% for the states within a State X 4-digit NIC with a minimum of 4 units evenly distributed in two sub-samples. The size of the live frame containing units with status ‘open’, ‘close’ or ‘non-operating’ was 2, 08, 417. 23,782 of these units belonged to the census sector, while the remaining 1, 84,635 units were from sample sector. Total sample size for ASI 2009-10 was 61,080 (23,782 census and 37,298 sample).

Sampling deviation

There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 2009-10.

Mode of data collection

Statutory return submitted by factories as well as Face to face

Research instrument

Annual Survey of Industries Questionnaire (in External Resources) is divided into different blocks:

BLOCK A.IDENTIFICATION PARTICULARS BLOCK B. PARTICULARS OF THE FACTORY (TO BE FILLED BY OWNER OF THE FACTORY) BLOCK C: FIXED ASSETS BLOCK D: WORKING CAPITAL & LOANS BLOCK E : EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COST BLOCK F : OTHER EXPENSES BLOCK G : OTHER INCOMES BLOCK H: INPUT ITEMS (indigenous items consumed) BLOCK I: INPUT ITEMS – directly imported items only (consumed) BLOCK J: PRODUCTS AND BY-PRODUCTS (manufactured by the unit)

Cleaning operations

Pre-data entry scrutiny was carried out on the schedules for inter and intra block consistency checks. Such editing was mostly manual, although some editing was automatic. But, for major inconsistencies, the schedules were referred back to NSSO (FOD) for clarifications/modifications.

Code list, State code list, Tabulation program and ASICC code are available in the External Resources..

Sampling error estimates

Relative Standard Error (RSE) is calculated in terms of worker, wages to worker and GVA using the formula (Pl ease refer to Estimation Procedure document in external resources). Programs developed in Visual Foxpro are used to compute the RSE of estimates.

Data appraisal

To check for consistency and reliability of data the same are compared with the NIC-2digit level growth rate at all India Index of Production (IIP) and the growth rates obtained from the National Accounts Statistics at current and constant prices for the registered manufacturing sector.

Although the share of industry in GDP remained stable, it underwent significant fundamental changes. During this period, as a process of product restructuring, when a gross value was adjusted, production increased at current prices by 8 percent per annum. Then in 2004-09, the GDP growth rate increased to 20%. At the same prices, the annual but significant increase in employment was also 7.5 percent per annum.
