Closure of units in the registered SSI
sector has been a continuous feature. In the First Census
of Registered SSIs conducted in 1973-74, it was found
that 38.2 % of the units registered till 30th November
1973 was closed. In the Second Census of Registered SSIs
conducted in 1990-91, 37.25 % of the units registered
till 31st March 1988 was found to be closed.

In the Third Census also, the issue of
closure was investigated. The units permanently registered
till 31st March 2001 which did not operate even for a
single day during the reference period 2001-02 were treated
as closed, in the Census. For such units, information
on year of closure was also collected. Reasons for closure
were not elicited in the Census, as it would be difficult
to locate the large number of the concerned entrepreneurs
who would only be able to furnish the information. However,
this question was canvassed in the recent Sample Survey
of Registered SSIs conducted during 2000-01. It was found
in this survey that the main reasons for closure were
‘Marketing problem’, ‘Finance problem’, and ‘Could not
survive competition’. These reasons would apply to the
closed units identified in the Third Census as well.
