Abstract

The India Cluster Panorama 2023 provides unique new insights into the cluster structure of the Indian economy. It leverages powerful data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), which has comprehensive coverage of the Indian labour force and granular data on wages and employment in 5-digit National Industrial Classification (NIC) industries at the district level.

The India Cluster Panorama shows how much location matters for understanding the Indian economy. Economic activity in many key cluster categories is highly concentrated, with a few districts accounting for a large share of national value creation in these sectors. Districts differ dramatically in their economic composition and in the strengths of their cluster portfolios.

Keywords

Clusters; Industry Clusters; Economic Growth; India
