New Delhi [India], November 4 (ANI): The manufacturing corporate sector registered a Gross Value Added (GVA) growth of 9.28 per cent over the previous year. According to the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) results for FY2024-25, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh emerged as the top five states in GVA terms, contributing more than 54 per cent of the country’s total manufacturing GVA in 2024-25.
The survey findings, covering the reference period from April 2024 to March 2025, were released through a factsheet by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI).
The data established that the manufacturing corporate sector held a share of more than 89 per cent in total GVA. Alongside this value expansion, the segment reported an increase in operating units and workforce numbers, registering a 3.45 per cent growth in operational factories and a 7.57 per cent rise in total persons engaged during the period.
“Registered manufacturing sector has recorded notable growth in respect of Gross Value of Plant & Machinery by 7.25 % in the year 2024-25 over the previous year,” MoSPI said in a release.
The release further added that, “During FY2024-25, the registered manufacturing industry experienced notable expansion, driven by upward trends across key economic metrics—including capital investment, production output, Gross Value Added (GVA), workforce numbers, and compensation in comparison to the prior year.”
Employment generation remained concentrated across a few industrial sectors. Five industries, food products, textiles, basic metals, motor vehicles, and wearing apparel, collectively accounted for more than 41 per cent of total manufacturing employment in the country during 2024-25.
