Abstract

This paper constructs 7-digit product Supply-Use Tables (SUTs) and symmetric Input-Output Tables (IOTs) for the Indian economy using microdata from the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) for the period 2016-2021. We outline the methodology for generating input flows and reconciling registered and unregistered sector data via NPCMS-NIC concordance. The transition from SUTs to IOTs is explained using the Industry Technology Assumption. We apply this framework to analyse the economic impact—specifically Domestic Value Added (DVA) and employment influenced by production and exports. A case study of India's mobile phone sector reveals significant output growth, import substitution, an increase in exports, a shift in DVA/FVA shares, notable employment growth, with a leaning towards contractual labour, and increased female participation. These tables are valuable for analysing sectoral interdependencies and industrial policy effectiveness in India.

I wrote this paper at the CDS, Trivandrum (under JNU, New Delhi). I was a Research Consultant for a big GVC project under Director & RBI Chair Prof. C. Veeramani from 1 January 2024 to 31 July 2024. Prof. P. L. Beena made this consultancy possible. A summarised version is published in Economic Survey 2023-24 (Ch. 10, p. 360).
