Industries final

“A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to
the new; when an age ends; and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds
utterance.”
~Jawaharlal Nehru (At the stroke of midnight 15th
August 1947)
The changing Role of government in
indian industrial sector.
A group 7 initiative.
Background

India could not develop a sound industrial base under the
colonial rule. Even as the country‘s world famous
handicraft industries declined, no corresponding modern
industrial base was allowed to come up to take pride of
place so long enjoyed by the former. The primary motive
of the colonial government behind this policy of
systematically de-industrialising India was two-fold. The
intention was
-to reduce India to the status of a mere exporter of
important raw materials for the upcoming modern
industries in Britain and, second,
-to turn India into a sprawling market for the finished
products of those industries so that their continued
expansion could beensured to the maximum advantage of
their home country — Britain.
In the unfolding economic scenario, the decline of the
indigenous handicraft industries created not only massive
unemployment in India but also a new demand in the
Indian consumer market, which was now deprived of the
supply of locally made goods. This demand was profitably
met by the increasing imports of cheap manufactured
goods from Britain.
During the second half of the nineteenth century,
modern industry began to take root in India but its
progress remained very slow.
Initially, this development was confined to the setting up
of cotton and jute textile mills. The cotton textile mills,
mainly dominated by Indians, were located in the
western parts of the country, namely, Maharashtra and
Gujarat, whilethejutemillsdominatedby the foreigners

were mainly concentrated in Bengal.
Subsequently, the iron and steel industries began coming
up in the beginning of the twentieth century. The Tata
Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was incorporated in
1907.
A few other industries in the fields of sugar, cement,
paper etc. came up after the Second World War.
However, there was hardly any capital goods industry to
help promote further industrialisation in India.
Capital goods industry means industries which can
produce machine tools which are, in turn, used for
producing articles for current consumption. The
establishment of a few manufacturing units here
andthere was no substitute to the near wholesale
displacement of the country‘s traditional handicraft
industries.
Furthermore, the growth rate of the new industrial
sector and its contribution to the Gross Domestic
Product(GDP) remainedverysmall. Another significant
drawback of the new industrial sector was the very
limited area of operation of the public sector. This
sector remained confined only to the railways, power
generation, communications, ports and some other
departmental undertakings.
The Model

On 15 August 1947, India woke to a new dawn of
freedom: finally we were masters of our own destiny
after some two hundred years of British rule; the job of
nation building was now in our own hands. The leaders of
independent India had to decide, among other things,
the type of economic system most suitable for our
nation, a system which would promote the welfare of all
rather than a few. There are different types of economic
systems and among them, socialism appealed to
Jawaharlal Nehru the most. However, he was not in
favour of the kind of socialism established in the former
Soviet Union where all the means of production, i.e., all
the factories and farms in the country, were owned by
the government. There was no private property. It is not
possible in a democracy like India for the government to
change the ownership pattern of land and other
properties of its citizens in the way that it was done in
the former Soviet Union
The answer was in an economic system which, in their
view, combined the best features of socialism without its
drawbacks.
In this view, India would be a ‗socialist‘ society with a
strong public sector but also with private property and
democracy; the government would ‗plan‘ for the
economy with the private sector being encouraged to be
part of the plan effort.
The ‗Industrial Policy Resolution‘ of 1948 and the
Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution reflected
this outlook. In 1950, the Planning Commission was set
up with the Prime Minister as its Chairperson. The era of
five year plans had begun.

Industrial Policy Resolution 1948
1. The importance to the economy of securing a
continuous increase in production
2. Its equitable distribution
3. State must play of progressively activerole in the
development of Industries
4. It laid down that besides arms and ammunition,atomic energy
and railway transport, whichwould be the monopoly of the
CentralGovernment, the State would be exclusivelyresponsible
for the establishment of newundertakings in six basic industries-
exceptwhere, in the national interest, the State itself found it
necessary to secure the cooperation o private enterprise
When India achieved Independence in 1947, the national
consensus was in favour of rapid industrialization of the

economy which was seen not only as the key to economic
development but also to economic sovereignty. In the
subsequent years, India's Industrial Policy evolved
through successive Industrial Policy Resolutions and
Industrial Policy Statements. Specific priorities for
industrial development were also laid down in the
successive Five Year Plans.
Building on the so-called "Bombay Plan" in the pre-
Independence era, the first Industrial Policy Resolution
announced in 1948 laid down broad contours of the
strategy of industrial development.
At that time the Constitution of India had not taken final
shape nor was the Planning Commission constituted.
Moreover, the necessary legal framework was also not
put in place. Not surprisingly therefore, the Resolution
was somewhat broad in its scope and direction. Yet, an
important distinction was made among industries to be
kept under the exclusive ownership of Government, i.e.,
the public sector, those reserved for private sector and
the joint sector.
Subsequently, the Indian Constitution was adopted in
January 1950, the Planning Commission was constituted
in March 1950 and the Industrial (Department and
Regulation) Act (IDR Act) was enacted in 1951 with the
objective of empowering the Government to take
necessary steps to regulate the pattern of industrial
development through licensing. This paved the way for
the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956, which was the
first comprehensive statement on the strategy for
industrial development in India.
INDUSTRIAL POLICY SINCE 1956

The Industrial Policy Resolution - 1956 was shaped by the
Mahalanobis Model of growth, which suggested that
emphasis on heavy industries would lead the economy
towards a long term higher growth path. The Resolution
widened the scope of the public sector. The objective
was to accelerateeconomic growth and boost the process
of industrialization as a means to achieving a socialistic
pattern of society. Given the scarce capital and
inadequate entrepreneurial base, the Resolution
accorded a predominant role to the State to assume
direct responsibility for industrial development. All
industries of basic and strategic importance and those in
the nature of public utility services besides those
requiring large scale investment were reserved for the
public sector.
The Industrial Policy Resolution - 1956 classified
industries into three categories.
The first category comprised 17 industries (included in
Schedule A of the Resolution) exclusively under the
domain of the Government. These included inter alia,
railways, air transport, arms and ammunition, iron and
steel and atomic energy.
The second category comprised 12 industries which were
envisaged to be progressively State owned but private
sector was expected to supplement the efforts of the
State.
The third category contained all the remaining
industries and it was expected that private sector would
initiate development of these industries but they would
remain open for the State as well.

It was envisaged that the State would facilitate and
encourage development of these industries in the private
sector, in accordance with the programmes formulated
under the Five Year Plans, by appropriate fiscal measures
and ensuring adequate infrastructure.
Despite the demarcation of industries into separate
categories, the Resolution was flexible enough to allow
the required adjustments and modifications in the
national interest.
Another objective spelt out in the Industrial Policy
Resolution - 1956 was the removal of regional disparities
through development of regions with low industrial base.
Accordingly, adequate infrastructure for industrial
development of such regions was duly emphasized. Given
the potential to provide large-scale employment, the
Resolution reiterated the Government‘s determination to
provide all sorts of assistance to small and cottage
industries for wider dispersal of the industrial base and
more equitable distribution of income.
The Resolution, in fact, reflected the prevalent value
system of India in the early 1950s, which was centered
around self sufficiency in industrialproduction. The
Industrial Policy Resolution – 1956 was a landmark policy
statement and it formed the basis of subsequent policy
announcements.
Industrial Policy Measures in the 1960s and
1970s
Monopolies Inquiry Commission (MIC) was set up in 1964
to review various aspects pertaining to concentration of
economic power and operations of industrial licensing

under the IDR Act, 1951. While emphasizing that the
planned economy contributed to the growth of industry,
the Report by MIC concluded that the industrial licensing
system enabled big business houses to obtain
disproportionately large share of licenses which had led
to pre-emption and foreclosure of capacity.
Subsequently, the Industrial Licensing Policy Inquiry
Committee (Dutt Committee), constituted in 1967,
recommended that larger industrial houses should be
given licenses only for setting up industry in core and
heavy investment sectors, thereby necessitating
reorientation of industrial licensing policy.
In 1969, the monopolies and restrictive Trade Practices
(MRTP) Act was introduced to enable the Government to
effectively control concentration of economic power.
The Dutt Committee had defined large business houses as
those with assets of more than Rs.350 million. The MRTP
Act, 1969 defined large business houses as those with
assets of Rs. 200 million and above. Large industries
were designated as MRTP companies and were eligible to
participate in industries that were not reserved for the
Government or the Small scale sector.
The new Industrial Licensing Policy of 1970 classified
industries into four categories.
First category, termed as ‗Core Sector‘, consisted of
basic, critical and strategic industries.
Second category termed as ‗Heavy Investment Sector‘,
comprised projects involving investment of more than
Rs.50 million.

The third category, the ‗Middle Sector‘ consisted of
projects with investment in the range of Rs.10 million to
Rs.50 million.
The fourth category was ‗De- licensed Sector‘, in which
investment was less than Rs.10 million and was
exempted from licensing requirements.
The industrial licensing policy of 1970confined the role
of large business houses and foreign companies to the
core, heavy and export oriented sectors.
The Industrial Policy Statement - 1973
With a view to prevent excessive concentration of
industrial activity in the large industrial houses, this
Statement gave preference to small and medium
entrepreneurs over the large houses and foreign
companies in setting up of new capacity particularly in
the production of mass consumption goods.

New undertakings of up to Rs.10 million by way of fixed
assets were exempted from licensing requirements for
substantial expansion of assets. This exemption was not
allowed to MRTP companies, foreign companies and
existing licensed or registered undertakings having fixed
assets of Rs.50 million and above.
The Industrial Policy Statement -
1977
This Statement emphasized decentralization of industrial
sector with increased role for small scale, tiny and

cottage industries. It also provided for close interaction
between industrial and agricultural sectors. Highest
priority was accorded to power generation and
transmission.
It expanded the list of items reserved for exclusive
production in the small scale sector from 180 to more
than 500. For the first time, within the small scale
sector, a tiny unit was defined as a unit with investment
in machinery and equipment up to Rs.0.1 million and
situated in towns or villages with a population of less
than 50,000 (as per 1971 census).
Basic goods, capital goods, high technology industries
important for development of small scale and agriculture
sectors were clearly delineated for large scale sector.
It was also stated that foreign companies that diluted
their foreign equity up to 40 per cent under Foreign
Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) 1973 were to be treated
at par with the Indian companies. The Policy Statement
of 1977 also issued a list of industries where no foreign
collaboration of financial or technical nature was
allowed as indigenous technology was already available.
Fully owned foreign companies were allowed only in
highly export oriented sectors or sophisticated
technology areas. For all approved foreign investments,
companies were completely free torepatriate capital and
remit profits, dividends, royalties, etc.
Further, in order to ensure balanced regional
development, it was decided not to issue fresh licenses
for setting up new industrial units within certain limits of
large metropolitan cities (more than 1 million
population) and urban areas (more than 0.5 million
population).

Industrial Policy Statement -1980
The industrial Policy Statement of 1980 placed accent on
promotion of competition in the domestic market,
technological upgradatrion and modernization of
industries. Some of the socio-economic objectives spelt
out in the Statement were
i) optimum utilisation of installed capacity,
ii) higher productivity,
iii) higher employment levels,
iv) removal of regional disparities,
v) strengthening of agricultural base,
vi) promotion of export oriented industries
vii) consumer protection against high prices and poor
quality.
Policy measures were announced to revive the efficiency
of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) by developing the
management cadres in functional fields viz., operations,
finance, marketing and information system.
An automatic expansion of capacity up to five per cent
per annum was allowed, particularly in the core sector
and in industries with long-term export potential. Special
incentives were granted to industrial units which were
engaged in industrial processes and technologies aiming
at optimum utilization of energy and the exploitation of
alternative sources of energy.
In order to boost the development of small scale
industries, the investment limit was raised to Rs.2
million in small scale units and Rs.2.5 million in ancillary
units. In the case of tiny units, investment limit was
raised to Rs.0.2 million.

Industrial Policy Measures during the
1980s
Policy measures initiated in the first three decades since
Independence facilitated the establishment of basic
industries and building up of a broad- based
infrastructure in the country.
The Seventh Five Year Plan (1985-1900), recognized the
need for consolidation of these strengths and initiating
policy measures to prepare the Indian industry to
respond effectively to emergingchallenges. A number of
measures were initiated towards technological and
managerial modernization to improve productivity,
quality and to reduce cost of production. The public
sector was freed from a number of constraints and was
provided with greater autonomy. There was some
progress in the process of deregulation during the 1980s.
In 1988, all industries, excepting 26 industries specified
in the negative list, were exempted from licensing. The
exemption was, however, subject to investment and
locational limitations. The automotive industry, cement,
cotton spinning, food processing and polyester filament
yarn industries witnessed modernization and expanded
scales of production during the 1980s.

With a view to promote industrialization of backward
areas in the country, the Government of India announced
in June, 1988 the Growth Centre Scheme under which 71
Growth Centers were proposed to be set up throughout
the country. Growth centers were to be endowed with
basic infrastructure facilities such as power, water,
telecommunications and banking to enable them to
attract industries.
Industrial Policy Statement- 1991
The Industrial Policy Statement of 1991 stated that ―the
Government will continue to pursue a sound policy
framework encompassing encouragement of
entrepreneurship, development of indigenous technology
through investment in research and development,
bringing in new technology, dismantling of the regulatory
system, development of the capital markets and
increased competitiveness for the benefit of common
man". It further added that "the spread of
industrialization to backward areas of the country will be
actively promoted through appropriate incentives,
institutions and infrastructure investments‖.
The objective of the Industrial Policy Statement - 1991 -
was to maintain sustained growth in productivity,
enhance gainful employment and achieve optimal
utilization of human resources, to attain international
competitiveness, and to transform India into a major
partner and player in the global arena.

Quiteclearly, the focus of the policy was to unshackle
the Indian industry from bureaucratic controls. This
called for a number of far-reaching reforms :
• A substantial modification of Industry Licencing Policy
was deemed necessary with a view to ease
restraints on capacity creation, respond to emerging
domestic and global opportunities by improving
productivity. Accordingly, the Policy Statement
included abolition of industrial licensing for most
industries, barring a handful of industries for
reasons of security and strategic concerns, social
and environmental issues. Compulsory licencing was
required only in respect of 18 industries. These
included, inter alia, coal and lignite, distillation and
brewing of alcoholic drinks, cigars and cigarettes,
drugs and pharmaceuticals, white goods, hazardous
chemicals. The small scale sector continued to be
reserved. Norms for setting up industries (except for
industries subject to compulsory licensing) in cities
with more than one million population were further
liberalised.
• Recognising the complementarily of domestic and
foreign investment, foreign direct investment was
accorded a significant role in policy announcements
of 1991. Foreign direct investment (FDI) up to 51
per cent foreign equity in high priority industries
requiring large investments and advanced
technology was permitted. Foreign equity up to 51
per cent was also allowed in trading companies
primarily engaged in export activities. These
important initiatives were expected to provide a
boost to investment besides enabling access to high

technology and marketing expertise of foreign
companies.
• With a view to inject technological dynamism in the
Indian industry, the Government provided automatic
approval for technological agreements related to
high priority industries and eased procedures for
hiring of foreign technical expertise.
• Major initiatives towards restructuring of public sector
units (PSUs) were initiated, in view of their low
productivity, over staffing, lack of technological
upgradation and low rate of return. In order to raise
resources and ensure wider public participation
PSUs, it was decided to offer its shareholding stake
to mutual funds, financial institutions, general
public and workers. Similarly, in order to revive and
rehabilitate chronically sick PSUs, it was decided to
refer them to the Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR). The Policy also provided for
greater managerial autonomy to the Boards of PSUs.
The Industrial Policy Statement of 1991 recognized that
the Government‘s intervention in investment decisions of
large companies through MRTP Act had proved to be
deleterious for industrial growth. Accordingly, pre-entry
scrutiny of investment decisions of MRTP companies was
abolished. The thrust of policy was more on controlling
unfair and restrictive trade practices. The provisions
restricting mergers, amalgamations and takeovers were
also repealed.

Industrial Policy Measures Since 1991
Since 1991, industrial policy measures and procedural
simplifications have been reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Presently, there are only six industries which require
compulsory licensing. Similarly, there are only three
industries reserved for the public sector. Some of
important policy measures initiated since 1991 are set
out below:
Since 1991, promotion of foreign direct investment has
been an integral part of India‘s economic policy. The
Government has ensured a liberal and transparent
foreign investment regime where most activities are
opened to foreign investment on automatic route
without any limit on the extent of foreign ownership.
FDI up to 100 % has also been allowed under automatic
route for most manufacturing activities in Special
Economic Zones (SEZs).
More recently, in 2004, the FDI limits were raised in the
private banking sector (up to 74%), oil exploration (up to
100%), petroleum product marketing (up to 100%),
petroleum product pipelines (up to 100%), natural gas
and LNG pipelines (up to 100%) and printing of scientific
and technical magazines, periodicals and journals (up to
100%).
InFebruary 2005, the FDI ceiling in telecom sector in

certain services was increased from 49% to 74%.
• Reservation of items of manufacture exclusively in the
small scale  sector has been an important tenet of
industrial policy. Realizing the increased import
competition with the removal of quantitative
restrictions since April 2001, the Government has
adopted a policy of dereservation and has pruned
the list of items reserved for Small Scale industry
sector gradually from 821 items as at end March
1999 to 506 items as on April 6, 2005.
• Further, the Union Budget 2005-06 has proposed to
dereserve 108 items which were identified by
Ministry of Small Scale Industries. The investment
limit in plant and machinery of small scale units has
been raised by the Government from time to time.
To enable some of the small scale units to achieve
required economies of scale, a differential
investment limit has been adopted for them since
October 2001.
• Presently, there are 41 reserved items which are
allowed investment limit up to Rs.50 million instead
of present limit of Rs.10 million applicable for other
small scale units.
• Equity participation up to 24 per cent of the total
shareholding in small scale units by other industrial
undertakings has been allowed. The objective
therein has been to enable the small sector to
access the capital market and encourage
modernization, technological upgradation,
ancillarisation, sub-contracting, etc.
• Under the framework provided by the Competition Act
2002, the Competition Commission of India was set

up in 2003 so as to prevent practices having adverse
impact on competition in markets.
• In an effort to mitigate regional imbalances, the
Government announced a new North-East Industrial
Policy in December 1997 for promoting
industrialization in the North-Eastern region. This
policy is applicable for the States of Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland and Tripura. The Policy has provided
various concessions to industrial units in the North
Eastern Region, e.g., development of industrial
infrastructure, subsidies under various schemes,
excise and income-tax exemption for a period of 10
years, etc. North Eastern Development Finance
Corporation Ltd. has been designated as the nodal
disbursing agency under the Scheme.
• The focus of disinvestment process of PSUs has shifted
from sale of minority stakes to strategic sales. Up to
December 2004, PSUs have been divested to an
extent of Rs.478 billion.
• Apart from general policy measures, some industry
specific measures have also been initiated. For
instance, Electricity Act 2003 has been enacted
which envisaged to delicense power generation and
permit captive power plants. It is also intended to
facilitate private sector participation in
transmission sector and provide open access to grid
sector. Various policy measures have facilitated
increased private sector participation in key
infrastructure sectors such as, telecommunication,
roads and ports. Foreign equity participation up to
100 per cent has been allowed in construction and
maintenance of roads and bridges. MRTP provisions
have been relaxed to encourage private sector

financing by large firms in the highway sector.  
• Evidently, in the process of evolution of industrial
policy in India, the Government‘s intervention has
been extensive.
• Unlike many East Asian countries which used the State
intervention to build strong private sector
industries, India opted for the State control over
key industries in the initial phase of development.
In order to promote these industries the
Government not only levied high tariffs and imposed
import restrictions, but also subsidized the
nationalized firms, directed investment funds to
them, and controlled both land use and many
prices.  
• In India, there has been a consensus for long on the
role of government in providing infrastructure and
maintaining stable macroeconomic policies.
However, the path to be pursued toward industrial
development has evolved over time.
• The form of government intervention in the
development strategy needs to be chosen from the
two alternatives:
• ‗Outward-looking development policies‘ encourage not
only free trade but also the free movement of
capital, workers and enterprises. By contrast,
‗inward-looking development policies‘ stress the
need for one‘s own style of development. India
initially adopted the latter strategy.

CONCLUSION
The advocates of import substitution in India believed
that we should substitute imports with domestic
production of both consumer goods and sophisticated
manufactured items while ensuring imposition of high
tariffs and quotas on imports. In the long run, these
advocates cite the benefits of greater domestic industrial
diversification and the ultimate ability to export
previously protected manufactured goods, as economies
of scale, low labour costs, and the positive externalities
of learning by doing cause domestic prices to become
more competitive than world prices. However, pursuit of
such a policy forced the Indian industry to have low and
inferior technology. It did not expose the industry to the
rigours of competition and therefore it resulted in low
efficiency. The inferior technology and inefficient
production practices coupled with focus on traditional
sectors choked further expansion of the India industry
and thereby limited its ability to expand employment
opportunities. Considering these inadequacies, the
reforms currently underway aim at infusing the state of
the art technology, increasing domestic and external
competition and diversification of the industrial base so
that it can expand and create additional employment
opportunities.
In retrospect, the Industrial Policy Resolutions of 1948
and 1956 reflected the desire of the Indian State to
achieve self sufficiency in industrial production. Huge
investments by the State in heavy industries were
designed to put the Indian industry on a higher long-term
growth trajectory. With limited availability of foreign
exchange, the effort of the Government was to
encourage domestic production. This basic strategy
guided industrialization until the mid-1980s. Till the

onset of reform process in 1991, industrial licensing
played a crucial role in channeling investments,
controlling entry and expansion of capacity in the Indian
industrial sector. As such industrialization occurred in a
protected environment, which led to various distortions.
Tariffs and quantitative controls largely kept foreign
competition out of the domesticmarket, and most Indian
manufacturers looked on exports only as a residual
possibility. Little attention was paid to ensure product
quality, undertaking R&D for technological development
and achieving economies of scale. The industrial policy
announced in 1991, however, substantially dispensed
with industrial licensing and facilitated foreign
investment and technology transfers, and threw open the
areas hitherto reserved for the public sector. The policy
focus in the recent years has been on deregulating the
Indian industry, enabling industrial restructuring,
allowing the industry freedom and flexibility in
responding to market forces and providing a business
environment that facilitates and fosters overall industrial
growth. The future growth of the Indian industry as
widely believed, is crucially dependent upon improving
the overall productivity of the manufacturing sector,
rationalisation of the duty structure, technological
upgradation, the search for export markets through
promotional efforts and trade agreements and creating
an enabling legal environment.
