Nagarlok: Quarterly Journal of Urban AffairsSummary: Ludhiana, a key industrial hub in India, boasts diverse and thriving manufacturing sectors. Understanding the spatial organisation of these sectors is crucial for optimising industrial planning and boosting economic growth. The authors have used locational quotient analysis and cluster analysis, based on registration data from Udyam Aadhar portal of Government of India including interviews with local stakeholders. The authors found that micro and small manufacturing enterprises dominate in Ludhiana both in terms of number of units and number of employees. Hosiery-knitwear manufacturing, bicycle parts manufacturing, and metal fastener manufacturing are prominent sectors in Ludhiana. The spatial concentration of hosiery and knitwear manufacturing is towards the northeast of Ludhiana, while bicycle parts and metal fastener manufacturing is concentrated in the southeastern part of the city. The backward linkages of all these sectors are stronger than their forward linkages, with most backward linkages located within the clusters. The hosiery and knitwear manufacturing sector has the highest number of shared infrastructures. These findings highlight the importance of localised industrial clusters in Ludhiana’s economic landscape and underscore the need for targeted policies to support these critical sectors.- Reproduced
