Importance of manufacturing
Manufacturing adds value, diversifies the अर्थव्यवस्था, creates jobs, supports exports and reduces dependence on primary activities.
Industrial location

Mineral-based and chemical industries
Iron and steel, cement, chemicals and related industries form the backbone of modern infrastructure and manufacturing.
Industrial pollution
Industries may pollute air, जल, land and create thermal or noise pollution. Cleaner fuels, treatment plants, recycling and regulatory measures are महत्त्वपूर्ण.
Industrial solutions
Technological improvement, energy efficiency, waste minimisation, जल recycling and stricter pollution control can make industrial growth more sustainable.
