Abstract

This paper examines the extent and magnitude of regional disparities in the industrial economy from 1980-81 (pre-reforms) to 2009-10 (post-reforms) using discriminant function approach. Results indicated that huge disparities in industrial development still exist. Inclusion of some states in the list of developed ones in the recent past hints at amiable conditions for the industrialization of any state in the country provided state governments frame proper industrial policies. Further, productivity measures along with the physical measures turned out to be the factors responsible for regional imbalances during post reforms period instead of productivity and profitability measures during the pre-reforms period.
