Abstract
The present empirical analysis is confined to a variable specific analysis with respect to production pattern of large scale industrial units of Punjab. The study covers district wise distribution of production in the large scale industrial units of Punjab for the period ranging from 2003-04 to 2013-14. It is projected that production in Faridkot district is expected to increase to 2013.18 crores in 2020-21 as compared to 503.67 crores of production made in 2013-14. This is followed by Gurdaspur , S.A.S. Nagar , Kapurthala , Barnala , Bathinda, Tarn Taran, Hoshiarpur , Jalandhar , Nawanshahar , Sangrur , Ludhiana , Amritsar and Fatehgarh Sahib. With respect to trend values, it can be inferred that production amount in various units of industries is expected to increase by 2020-21. The amount of production in 2020-21 is expected to be highest in D7 (Rs.7631.67 crores) as compared to Rs.901.71 crores of production made in the year 2013-14.This is likely to be followed by D16, D8, D13, D1, D9, D14, D3, D10, D6 and D11 where it is expected to increase to Rs.1623.87 crores, Rs. 24662.70 crores, Rs. 2396.57 crores, Rs.20698.84 crores, Rs.3220.56 crores, Rs. 604.93 crores, Rs. 38030.68 crores, Rs.1500.23 crores, Rs.7683.47 crores and Rs.8715.98 crores in the year 2020-21. Thus the highest rise in production is expected to be seen in D7 by 2020-21 and least increase is likely to be seen in D6 where it has been projected to increase from Rs.6455.25 crores made in 2013-14 to only Rs.7683.47 crores in the year 2020-21.But the production to be made in the units of D4, D5 and D12 is expected to decline significantly by the year 2020-21.
