The present study covers district wise distribution of production made by small scale industries of Punjab for the period ranging from 2005-06 to 2013-14. Further, study of industry wise production made by disparate small scale industrial units of Punjab has also been made. The results signified that leading mean score has been gained by E3 (8679.06) which is symptomatic of the higher production made in the units of this industry for the respective period. Alternatively, E24 (5.01), E32 (2.00), E29 (1.28), E33 (0.72), E25 (0.67) recorded least average scores indicating lower production in the units of these industries during the relevant period. Trend equation revealed that production in nearly all the industries is likely to increase by 2020-21 except for E22, E19 and E23 where it is predicted to decline from Rs.753.29 crore, Rs. 54.95 crore and Rs.167.71 crore made in 2013-14 to Rs.404.99 crore, Rs.39.78 crore and Rs.143.21crore in 2020-21respectively. Among the district wise production made in the small scale industrial units of Punjab, the study depicted that Ludhiana district recorded highest average score (24879.76), while, lowest mean score(56.19) has been registered for the production made in the units of Tarn Taran district. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the production has been recorded maximum in the units of Fazilka, where production increased from 1101.67 crore in 2012-13 to 6193.41 crore in 2013-14 at the highest CAGR of 462.18 percent. While, the lowest growth in the production has been recorded in units of Amritsar district (CAGR=0.73 percent). Trend equation revealed that the highest expected change for production in the year 2020-21 is expected to occur in small scale industrial units of Fazilka where the production is expected to increase from Rs.6193.41 crore made in 2013-14 to Rs.87661.25 crore. On the other hand, the least increase is projected to be recorded in S.A.S. Nagar district where the production is expected to increase from Rs. 974.15 crore made in 2013-14 to only Rs.1189.91 crore likely to be made in 2020-21.
