1. INDUSTRIAL POLICY

2. WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL POLICY?
The Industrial Policy of a country, sometimes denoted IP, is its
official strategic effort to encourage the development and
growth of part or all of the manufacturing sector as well as other
sectors of the economy. The government takes measures “aimed
at improving the competitiveness and capabilities of domestic
firms and promoting structural transformation.” A country's
infrastructure (transportation, telecommunications and energy
industry) is a major part of the manufacturing sector that often
has a key role in IP.

3. MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF IP
Rapid Industrial Development
Balanced industrial Structure
Prevention of Concentration of Economic Power
Balanced Regional Growth

4. Rapid Industrial Development
The industrial policy of the Government of India is aimed at
increasing the tempo of industrial development. It seeks to create
a favourable investment climate for the private sector as well as
mobilise resources for the investment in public sector. In its way
the government seeks to promote rapid industrial development
in the country.

5. Balanced industrial Structure
• The industrial policy is designed to correct the prevailing
lopsided industrial structure. Thus, for example, before
independence, India had some fairly developed consumer
goods industries. But the capital goods sector was not
developed at all and basic and heavy industries were by and
large absent.
• So the industrial policy had to be framed in such a manner that
these imbalances in the industrial structure are corrected.

6. Prevention of Concentration of
Economic Power
The industrial policy seeks to provide a framework of rules,
regulations and reservation of spheres of activity for the public
and the private sectors. This is aimed at reducing the
monopolistic tendencies and preventing concentration of
economic power in the hands of a few big industrial houses.

7. Balanced Regional Growth
Industrial policy also aims at correcting regional imbalances in
industrial development. It is quite well-known that some regions
in the country are industrially quite advanced e.g., Maharashtra
and Gujarat while others are industrially backward, like Bihar,
Orissa. It is the task of industrial policy to work out programmes
and policies which lead to industrial development or industrial
growth.
