MAPS OF SPATIAL SPREAD OF FDI-ENABLED FIRMS
In districts with literacy rates up to 52 per cent, there are no facilities in Class-1 cities, only 1 facility in Class-2 cities
and 22 facilities in 19 Class-3 cities. Overall, FDI-enabled service facilities tend to concentrate in districts with high
literacy rates in all classes of cities.
Map 10: Based on Poverty Levels
The map of spatial spread of FDI-enabled service facilities based on poverty shows that in districts with up to 26 per
cent of the population living below the poverty line, there are 746 service facilities spread across 233 Class-1, Class-2,
and Class-3 cities. Of the 746 facilities, 384 facilities are in Class-1 cities, 88 in Class-2 cities and 274 in Class-3 cities.
In districts where the percentage of people below the poverty line is between 26-53 per cent, there are 116 facilities of
which 31 are in Class-1 cities, 13 in Class-2 cities and 72 in Class-3 cities.
In districts where poverty levels are above 53 per cent, there are 395 facilities of which 241 are in Class-1 cities, 55 are
in Class-2 cities and 99 are in Class-3 facilities.

The maps are a graphical/pictorial representation of the spatial spread of FDI-enabled plants/ facilities in India. They
are only indicative and the inferences drawn from the maps have to be matched or corroborated with the analysis based
