The results reveal significant disparities across regions, with Delhi, Kerala, and Himachal Pradesh emerging as top performers while states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh require focused development efforts.

This is predicated on the observation that productivity growth in manufacturing tends to spill over to other sectors, thereby stimulating ove...
