Large Factories Account for Majority of India's Manufacturing Output in FY25
India's manufacturing sector shows significant output concentration in a small number of large factories. Just 3.6% of operational factories, each producing over Rs 500 crore annually, accounted for over 62% of total manufacturing output and nearly 61% of net value added in FY25. These large units also employed about one-third of the sector's workforce. Meanwhile, smaller factories, though numerous, contributed minimally to output and value. The corporate manufacturing sector grew 9.3% in gross value added, with key states Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh leading contributions.
