"This book strengthens our understanding of the Indian manufacturing. It argues that structural transformation should be guided by the given factor endowments. The book undertakes a detailed empirical scrutiny to provide inputs for guiding the future industrial policy in India. The book recognises the differential structure of the organised and unorganised manufacturing with their distinguished response to the use of labour and capital.
