The Industrial development of the North-eastern States (NES) of India is in an infant stage. The value added by the manufacturing sector in the net state domestic product (NSDP) for Arunachal Pradesh is 7% in 2013 as against 11% in 2009, Assam 13.4% in 2013 as against 20% in 2009, Manipur 10% in 2013 as against 11% in 2009, Meghalaya 13.2% in 2013 as against 18.3% in 2009, Mizoram 3.7% in 2013 as against 3.8% in 2009, Nagaland 4.3% in 2013 as 6% in 2009, Sikkim 61% in 2013 as 59% in 2009, Tripura 7.4% in 2013 as 7.4% in 2009. It indicates that except for Sikkim and Tripura, the contribution to NSDP is not only small but also declining. Some of the main reasons contributing to prolonged underdevelopment are low demand, high trade costs, poor infrastructure, law and order, and lackadaisical nature of the government.
