Since the late 1990s, industrialization in India has been driven by the rural organized manufacturing sector. This paper examines the effects of firms’ dynamics on rural industrialization in India, using plant-level panel data, to investigate the characteristics of rural industrialization in India in recent years. In particular, the paper focuses on productivity differences among continuing, entering, and exiting firms. The results show that both labour and total factor productivity of the organized manufacturing sector in rural areas increased during 2000–2006 and the aggregate productivity growth is supported by the productivity growth of the continuing firms, the entry of productive firms, and the exit of less-productive firms. The paper can conclude that firms’ productivity dynamics contributed to the current rural industrialization in India.

自1990年代后期以来，印度的工业化一直由农村有组织的制造业推动。本文使用工厂级面板数据研究了企业动态对印度农村工业化的影响，以调查近年来印度农村工业化的特征。尤其是，本文着重于持续，进驻和退出公司之间的生产率差异。结果表明，农村地区有组织的制造业的劳动生产率和全要素生产率在2000-2006年期间均增加了，而总生产率的增长则由持续性公司的生产率增长，生产性公司的进入和较少公司的退出所支持生产企业。本文可以得出结论，企业的生产率动态推动了印度当前的农村工业化。
