It also seeks an explanation for the growth trends observed by looking at specific trade and industrial policies. The analysis indicates that economic reform policies had a differential impact on various industry groups. In particular, the growth in the automobile industry and the infrastructure sector helped the growth of the manufacturing industry, especially in the unorganised segment and the generation of quality employment.
