Note : 1. Data for 2009-10 are Provisional.
2. Since 2001-02, production figures are at 2001-02 prices.
3.  The estimates of employment for the period 2002-03 to 2005-06 have been revised. The Third All-India Census
surveyed the units registered upto 2000-01, while its reference period was 2001-02. Adjustments have been made in the
estimates using the number of units registered with State/UTs Government after 31.3.2001.
4.  The data for the period up to 2005-06 is of small scale industries (SSI). Subsequent to 2005-06, data with reference
to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are being compiled.
5. Data for 2007-08 onwards are projected figures.
