The first Industrial Policy in Delhi was published in 1982. It advocated dispersed development with special emphasis on development of Sophisticated and High-tech Industry. Unfortunately this document was not followed up with a concrete action plan so as to achieve the various objectives of the policy.
The industrial sector plays a vital role in the economic development of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The manufacturing sectors in Delhi still contribute about 12% in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) in Delhi.
There has been a phenomenal growth of small scale industries (SSI) in Delhi in the last 4 decades, where a sharp increase in the number of units from 17000 in 1961 to 1.29 lakh in 2000-01 has been recorded and that too mainly in un-organized sector, as the planned industrial area of Delhi have hardly 25000 to 30000 plots/industrial units. The estimated investment in these units was increased from Rs.60 crore in 1961 to Rs.2524 crore in 2001. The production in these units has increased from Rs.121 crore in 1961 to Rs.6310 crore in 2001. In 1961, about 1.87 lakh persons were employed in these industries and this number has increased to 14.40 lakh in 2001.
