TOTAL SSI SECTOR

6.1

SSI sector comprises small -scale industrial undertakings (SSIs) and small scale service and business (industry related) enterprises (SSSBEs). Registration of these units with the respective District Industries Centres (DICs) is on voluntary basis. Hence, it is possible, at any given point of time, that the sector will have registered as well as unregistered units. Therefore, it has become necessary to investigate into this in greater detail so as to have benchmark information on the structure of the TOTAL SSI SECTOR, which comprises the registered SSI sector and the unregistered SSI sector. The methodology in the Third Census was suitably designed to estimate the various parameters of the total SSI sector.

SIZE OF THE SECTOR

6.2

It is estimated that the Total SSI sector comprises 1,05,21,190 units, spreading over the length and breadth of the country. About 55 % of these units were located in rural India. Over 44 lakhs (42.26 %) in the total SSI sector were SSIs and the remaining 61 lakhs (57.74 %) were SSSBEs. The no. of ancillary units among SSIs was 2.98 %. The dominating presence of tiny units with original investment in plant & machinery up to Rs.25 lakhs has been a continuous feature in the SSI sector. In the Third Census, it was found that 99.5 % of the SSIs were tiny units.

6.3

In terms of State-wise spread, it is seen that Uttar Pradesh (16.23%), Andhra Pradesh (8.32%), Maharashtra (7.64%), Madhya Pradesh (7.54%) and Tamil Nadu (7.49%) were the top five States having a total share of 47.22% in terms of number of units. The State-wise distribution of the number of units in the Total SSI sector is given below.

NATURE OF ACTIVITY IN THE TOTAL SSI SECTOR

6.4

About 44% of the units were in the Services Sector, followed by 40% units engaged in manufacturing and allied activities and 16% units in repairing and maintenance activities. Hence, Services sector emerged as the dominant component in the Total SSI Sector in the Third Census. The State-wise and sector-wise percentage distribution of units in the Total SSI Sector by nature of activity is given in the following table.

COMPOSITION OF THE TOTAL SSI SECTOR

6.6

Although registration is voluntary, the registered SSI sector was found to be the cream of the total SSI sector. In terms of size, it was only 13%, but in terms of investment, its share was 59% and it contributed to 72% of the total production of the SSI sector. The composition of the total SSI sector as Regd. and Unregd. Sectors in terms of various classificatory characteristics are given below.

DURATION OF OPERATION

6.7

The duration of operation of an enterprise within a span of 12 months reference period indicates the chance of continuity or sustainability of the enterprise. It was found in the Third Census that over 83 % of the units in the Total SSI Sector operated for 9 months or more. Details are given in the following table.
