This asymmetry points to deeper structural imbalances in the process of transformation. The pattern is further marked by significant interstate variation, where some states have experienced relatively stronger industrial growth supported by policy interventions, while others exhibit tendencies of premature deindustrialisation. From the development of planned industrial estates in Uttarakhand to the persistence of a services-led structure in the north-eastern states, India’s structural transformation has diverged from conventional trajectories. This pattern underscores the centrality of policy in shaping sectoral outcomes, rather than geography alone.-Reproduced
