What are industrial clusters ? State any two indices used to identify industrial clusters.

Answer»

Industrial Cluster: Industries are unevenly distributed in India because the factors affecting industrial location are not same everywhere. Industries tend to be concentrated in a few pockets because of certain favourable factors. The pockets having high concentration of industries are known as industrial clusters. 

Several indices are used to identify the clustering of industries, important among them are :

1. Average daily factory employment/No. of workers. 

2. Quantum of power used for industrial purposes.
