Abstract:
This study constructs district-wise composite indices to analyze the patterns and disparities of industrial infrastructure development in Haryana across four benchmark years: 1990-91, 1999-2000, 2009-10, and 2018-19. Utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Coefficient of Variation (C.V.), the research highlights increasing industrial infrastructure availability while revealing widening inter-district disparities. Key infrastructure indicators such as road density, railway density, banking penetration, credit-deposit ratio, industrial electricity connections, and transport facilities are examined. The findings confirm significant spatial concentration of industrial infrastructure in districts bordering the National Capital Region, particularly Gurgaon and Faridabad, while many districts lag behind. The study underscores the need for policy focus on balanced regional growth to harness Haryana’s full industrial potential.
