It is estimated that the import intensity, defined as the proportion of imports in gross output, at disaggregated sector level was less than 5 per cent in 1983-84 for the majority of the sectors presented in the paper. The analysis indicated that about 53.5 per cent of the imports were consumed directly and indirectly to meet the final consumption requirements of primary and non-primary goods in 1983-84 and this ratio marginally declined to about 51 per cent in 1991-92. It is estimated that nearly 17 per cent of the imports were required directly and indirectly to meet the final consumption of primary goods whereas about 34 per cent of the imports were required to meet the final consumption of non-primary goods. Categorising these estimates differently, about 15 per cent and 35 per cent of the imports were consumed directly and indirectly, respectively, to meet the total final consumption expenditure of primary and non-primary goods in 1991-92"  aInternational trade  aReserve Bank of India: Occasional Papers  a32085  c32085d32085  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 17, Issue no: 2pAR32275r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
