FDI IN INDIA AND ITS GROWTH LINKAGES<br />

Market capitalisation is significant <strong>in</strong> Karnataka (11 per cent), Haryana (9 per cent), Gujarat (6.4 per cent) <strong>and</strong> Tamil<br />

Nadu (5.5 per cent). The share of small cities <strong>in</strong> state-level market capitalisation is 14.4 per cent <strong>in</strong> Karnataka, 86.4 per<br />

cent <strong>in</strong> Haryana, 45 per cent <strong>in</strong> Gujarat <strong>and</strong> 44 per cent <strong>in</strong> Tamil Nadu.<br />

The share of net fixed capital <strong>in</strong> total net fixed capital is 11 per cent each <strong>in</strong> Gujarat <strong>and</strong> Tamil Nadu, 10 per cent <strong>in</strong><br />

Andhra Pradesh <strong>and</strong> 8 per cent <strong>in</strong> Haryana. Other states have lower shares. The share of small cities <strong>in</strong> state-level net<br />

fixed capital is 30 per cent <strong>in</strong> Gujarat, 45 per cent <strong>in</strong> Tamil Nadu, 25 per cent <strong>in</strong> Andhra Pradesh <strong>and</strong> 94 per cent<br />

<strong>in</strong> Haryana.<br />

In the case of total output, significant contributions are made by the states, namely, Tamil Nadu (16 per cent), Haryana<br />

(11 per cent), Karnataka <strong>and</strong> Gujarat (each 8 per cent), along with the share of small cities <strong>in</strong> state-level output of 46,<br />

90, 28 <strong>and</strong> 44 per cent, respectively.<br />

6.5 Agglomeration <strong>and</strong> Locational Choice<br />

In this section we focus on agglomeration <strong>and</strong> locational choice of <strong>in</strong>dustrial plants <strong>in</strong> India. While such analysis is<br />

available <strong>in</strong> the literature with reference to the overall <strong>in</strong>dustrial location, a correspond<strong>in</strong>g analysis of FDI-enabled<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial plants is scarce. While many <strong>in</strong>dustries tend to be agglomerated <strong>in</strong> a few states/regions others have wider<br />

dispersal. We have discussed the issue of <strong>in</strong>dustrial agglomeration of FDI-enabled plants <strong>in</strong> India aga<strong>in</strong>st the backdrop<br />

of overall <strong>in</strong>dustrial agglomeration. We have also provided analytical <strong>in</strong>formation on the locational choice of FDIenabled<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial plants <strong>in</strong> the country.<br />

The measure of agglomeration used <strong>in</strong> our analysis is similar to the one used by Ellison <strong>and</strong> Glaeser (1997) <strong>and</strong> Kathuria<br />

(2009). The determ<strong>in</strong>ants of locational choice of <strong>in</strong>dustrial plants have also been worked out us<strong>in</strong>g econometric<br />

estimation techniques. While agglomeration estimates have been based on state-level data, the determ<strong>in</strong>ants of<br />

locational choice are analysed at the state level as well as at the city level. Apart from this, we have discussed variations<br />

across geographical regions like north, east, west <strong>and</strong> south.<br />

6.5.1 Agglomeration<br />

One important concern <strong>in</strong> India’s <strong>in</strong>dustrial policy is the dispersal of <strong>in</strong>dustrial plants across various states of the country.<br />

There are two types of agglomeration forces, viz., natural advantage <strong>and</strong> spill-overs. Natural advantage refers to factors<br />

of production that provide enabl<strong>in</strong>g conditions for produc<strong>in</strong>g certa<strong>in</strong> goods, e.g., tea, w<strong>in</strong>e, photographic films, etc.<br />

Locational spillovers refer to physical as well as <strong>in</strong>tellectual spillovers, e.g., the brass <strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>in</strong> Moradabad, sports goods<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>in</strong> Jal<strong>and</strong>har, hosiery <strong>in</strong> Ludhiana <strong>and</strong> software <strong>in</strong> Hyderabad <strong>and</strong> Bangalore.<br />

We use the Ellison-Glaeser (E-G) <strong>in</strong>dex to calculate the degree of <strong>in</strong>dustrial (NIC 3-digit) agglomeration/dispersal<br />

across various states/Union Territories of India. 14 The <strong>in</strong>dex is computed us<strong>in</strong>g employment <strong>and</strong> output <strong>in</strong>formation for<br />

all plants, both domestic <strong>and</strong> FDI. This <strong>in</strong>dex controls for <strong>in</strong>dustry characteristics regardless of the causes of<br />

concentration. The E-G <strong>in</strong>dex can be estimated either by us<strong>in</strong>g concentration of output of <strong>in</strong>dustrial plants or us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

concentration of employment data. While the E-G <strong>in</strong>dex derived from the employment data, E-G-L, attributes<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial agglomeration solely to labour market pool<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation of spill-overs through labour, the same cannot<br />

be said of the <strong>in</strong>dex derived us<strong>in</strong>g the output data (E-G-O). In this study, the agglomeration <strong>in</strong>dex has been computed<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g the value of output attributes agglomeration to labour market as well as capital/technology spill-overs or a<br />

comb<strong>in</strong>ation. However, geographical concentration by <strong>its</strong>elf does not imply the existence of spill-overs or natural<br />

advantage <strong>in</strong>dicators.<br />

14.For details of the E-G <strong>in</strong>dex, refer to Ellison <strong>and</strong> Glaeser (1997). The <strong>in</strong>dex varies between 0 <strong>and</strong> 1. An E-G <strong>in</strong>dex above 0.05 for an <strong>in</strong>dustry connotes<br />

high agglomeration, between 0.02 <strong>and</strong> 0.05 is moderate agglomeration, <strong>and</strong> between 0 <strong>and</strong> 0.02 a dispersed <strong>in</strong>dustry. E-G values less than 0 for a sector<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicate excessive dispersion.<br />
