Total Factor Productivity in Manufacturing Industry for Delhi for Last Thirty Years

Abstract

This paper attempts to give an overview of the Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) for the NCR or Delhi for the period from 1981-82 to 2011-12 for the manufacturing sector. Using the ASI time series data and Growth Accounting Approach the TFPG Index values are computed. The study reveals that for most of the major group or 2-digit level of manufacturing industries the respective TFPG values are declining over time. The results indicate that the lacklustre performance of the manufacturing sector equally holds in Delhi as it is already verified for the national level data of the sector through many other studies in recent time.
