Review of Tamil Nadu Economy
An
Overview:
During
the month under review, the growth in agriculture, as far as production of
certain major crops is concerned, altogther reflects a downward trend in the
current year. The rice production,
estimated at 62.55 lakh tonnes in the current year (April 2000-Jan 2001) is
less by 3.02 per cent than the level of production witnessed last year.
This slow down in growth is on
account of the weak monsoon
activity in the current year.
However, the growth was rather on a slightly upward trend in the
industries sector in the current year. The index of industrial production, which
stood at 122.7 points during April -Dec ’99,
moved to 123.1 points, recording a marginal increase by 0.3 per
cent. While the mining sector has declined sharply by 20.8 per cent, it was on a
positive growth track in the other two sectors.
The price front was on a more stable ground
through out the current year.
In the tertiary sector which has contributed to the Total GSDP to the
extent of 47%, Trade, Hotels and Restaurants registered a growth of 4.01% over
the previous year, which is the highest in the sector.
