Abstract

This is an attempt to analyze the structure of SSIs in terms of localization of different groups of SSIs across the districts of Gujarat state. To study the localization pattern in the state the location quotient (LQ) and Coefficient of localization (CL) has been worked out. The LQ has been worked out for all the industrial groups of SSIs for all the 26 districts while the CL is worked out for all the industrial groups of SSIs using the census data for the reference year of 2006–07. The location quotient and coefficient of localization of different industrial groups of SSIs across the districts of Gujarat indicates that no any district has achieved specialization in production of any product. All types of SSIs have possibility to get localized at anywhere in the state.
