Based on detailed data collected at multiple spatial levels from the neighbourhood to the metropolitan region, and the district to the nation, it shows that the industrialization processes have to be understood in terms of the interaction of markets and states. The 1991 reforms are taken as the point of departure, but mindful of actions taken in the past, the authors incorporate relevant events from the nineteenth century. They identify and map the emerging economic geography of India and highlight the leading edges and lagging pockets. Their findings show that location of post-reform investment favours the coast, advanced regions, and metropolises, and this is truer for foreign direct investments than domestic investments.
