The manufacturing industry in India has emerged as a fast-growing sector owing to the rapidly increasing population in the country. Investments in the sector have been on the rise and initiatives like ‘Make in India’ aim to make the South Asian country a global manufacturing hub. The annual production growth rate in the manufacturing industry was *** percent during fiscal year 2025. Foreign and domestic enterprisesThe gross value added by the manufacturing sector in India has grown steadily; however, it is still lower than the services sector. With the prospect of a huge consumer market, global giants such as Siemens, HTC, and Toshiba have already set up or are in the process of setting up manufacturing plants across the region. Apple has also been setting up nascent operations in India to diversify from China-centered production. On the other hand, the micro, small and medium enterprises sector is also crucial to transforming India from an agriculture-based economy to an industrialized one. MSME's contribution to Indian GDP has remained stable over the last few years. The futureWith technology reaching what previously were unimaginable heights in the last decade, industries need to keep up with the current trends and the technology. The focus is shifting towards machine learning to improve the efficiency and precision of the work.Smart manufacturing, a combination of internet of things and artificial intelligence, is expected to see growth in the coming decade.

Abstract

Introduction

The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is one of the large-scale sample survey conducted by Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Office for more than three decades with the objective of collecting comprehensive information related to registered factories on annual basis. ASI is the primary source of data for facilitating systematic study of the structure of industries, analysis of various factors influencing industries in the country and creating a database for formulation of industrial policy.

The main objectives of the Annual Survey of Industries are briefly as follows:

(a) Estimation of the contribution of manufacturing industries as a whole and of each unit to national income.

(b) Systematic study of the structure of industry as a whole and of each type of industry and each unit.

(c) Casual analysis of the various factors influencing industry in the country: and

(d) Provision of comprehensive, factual and systematic basis for the formulation of policy.

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 is the principal source of industrial statistics in India and extends to the entire country except Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram & Sikkim and the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948.

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 census scheme 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.

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.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sampling Procedure

The sampling design followed in ASI 1998-99 is a Circular Systematic one. All the factories in the updated frame (universe) are divided into two sectors, viz., Census and Sample.

Census Sector: Census Sector is defined as follows:

a) All the complete enumeration States namely, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. b) For the rest of the States/ UT's., (i) units having 200 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.

Rest of the factories found in the frame constituted Sample sector on which sampling was done. Factories under Biri & Cigar sector were not considered uniformly under census sector. Factories under this sector were treated for inclusion in census sector as per definition above (i.e., more than 200 workers and/or joint returns). After identifying Census sector factories, rest of the factories were arranged in ascending order of States, NIC-98 (4 digit), number of workers and district and properly numbered. The Sampling was taken within each stratum (State X Sector X 4-digit NIC) with a minimum of 8 samples in each stratum in the form of 2 sub-samples. For the first time, all electricity undertakings other than captive units, Government Departmental undertakings such as Railway Workshops, P & T workshops etc. were kept out of coverage of ASI.

Sampling deviation

There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 1998-99.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

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.

The final unit level data of ASI 98-99 is available now in electronic media. This document describes additional information regarding ASI 98-99 data from the point of data processing. Users of ASI 98-99 data are requested to read this document carefully before they attempt to process the unit level data for their own purpose. They are also requested to refer to the schedule and the instruction manual for filling up the schedule before interpreting contents of various data fields. A. Contents The CD (or any other media) should contain the following files: ASI99.TXT This file contains unit level detail data of ASI 98-99 as per structure given in ANNEXURE- Total no. of records: 104740 XASI98.TXT (Metadata created from this .TXT file) This file contains unit level detail data of ASI 97-98 for those factories which were found not responding during the survey of ASI 98-99. The record layout is already available with the Computer Centre, New Delhi. Record Length: 135 Total no. of records: 6974 README.DOC This file.

B. Tabulation procedure The tabulation procedure by CSO(ISW) includes both the ASI 98-99 data and the extracted data from ASI 97-98 for all tabulation purpose. To make results comparable, users are requested to follow the same procedure. For calculation of various parameters, users are requested to refer instruction manual/report for the respective years. Please note that a separate inflation factor (Multiplier) is available for each factory against records belonging to Block-A ,pos:38-46 (Please refer ANNEXURE-I) for ASI 98-99 data. Since the data extracted from ASI 97-98 belong to Census Sector no such inflation (Multiplier) factor is required. Industry code as per Return(5-digit level of NIC-98) Industry code as reported by the factories in Block-A, Item 1 has been further codified because of the following two policies practiced at CSO(ISW). Tabulation policy: As per the latest tabulation policy, it has been decided to publish detail information regarding factories belonging to 01 to 37 of industry codes( 2-digit, NIC-98). Factories belonging to other industry groups would be clubbed together and to be published under 'Others'. Accordingly all industry codes other than 01 to 37 were replaced with a 5-digited code 'YYYYY'. Merging and suppression of identity: To suppress the identity of factories, less frequent industry codes were modified accordingly. Example: if a reported industry code is found as 2930Z, this is to be treated as 'other merged industry code under industry group 2930 (4-digit NIC'98)'. Similarly if the reported industry code is found as 293ZZ, the same as to be treated as 'other merged industry code under industry group 293 (3-digit NIC'98)' and so on.

FIXED ASSETS (Block-C) Columnwise relationship (please refer schedule) may not hold true for data in this block. This is because of the lack of information available from the factory owners. E. EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COST (Block-E) It has been found that a larger number of factory owners were unable to provide detailed break-up of information regarding provident fund (Block-E, Col.7). Instead they provide total provident fund as a whole for all employees (Block-E, Srl. No. 7, Col.7). Users are requested to use Srl.9, Col.7 for information on provident fund. The total of srl.6 to 8 for Col.7 may not tally with srl.9, col.7. F. ASICC codes in Block H, I & J Because of the proximity of various item's description, it is possible that same ASICC code may appear against multiple records in these blocks. They should not be treated as duplicates. They are clubbed together at the time of tabulation to provide information at ASICC level. G. Record Identification Key Record identification key for each factory is Despatch Serial No. (DSL, pos: 4-8) X Block code (Blk, pos: 3). Please refer ANNEXURE-I for item level identification key for each factory.

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 Faxpro 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.

Industrial Production in India increased 1.20 percent in May 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.

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 Manufacturing Industries: Number Of Employees data was reported at 14,840,929.000 Person in 2017. This records an increase from the previous number of 14,227,645.000 Person for 2016. India Manufacturing Industries: Number Of Employees data is updated yearly, averaging 8,704,947.000 Person from Mar 1982 (Median) to 2017, with 35 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 14,840,929.000 Person in 2017 and a record low of 7,441,879.000 Person in 1987. India Manufacturing Industries: Number Of Employees data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Central Statistics Office. The data is categorized under India Premium Database’s Mining and Manufacturing Sector – Table IN.BAC001: Manufacturing Industry: NIC 2008: All Industries.

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.

The manufacturing sector in India employed over **** million people in the financial year 2023. This was a growth of over * percent as compared to the previous financial year. Industries driving the sector's growth included basic metals, coke and refined petroleum, food products, and chemicals among others.
