Series Name
Industrial Statistics (Organised Manufacturing & Labour Sector) Survey
Series Information
The Collection of Statistics (Central) Rules, 1959 framed under the 1953 Act provided for, among others, a comprehensive Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) in India. This survey replaced both the CMI (Census of Manufacturing Industries) and SSMI (Sample Survey of Manufacturing Industries). The ASI was launched in 1960 with 1959 as the reference year and is continuing since then except for 1972. For ASI, the Collection of Statistics Act 1953 and the rules frame there-under in 1959 provides the statutory basis. The ASI refers to the factories defined in accordance with the Factories Act 1948, and thus has coverage wider than that of the CMI and SSMI put together.
Abstract
Introduction
The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal source of industrial statistics in India. It provides statistical information to assess changes in the growth, composition and structure of organised manufacturing sector comprising activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, gas and water supply and cold storage. The Survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act 1953, and the Rules framed there-under in 1959, except in the State of Jammu & Kashmir where it is conducted under the State Collection of Statistics Act, 1961 and the rules framed there-under in 1964.

Kind of Data
Complied from factory records
Unit of Analysis
The primary unit of enumeration in the survey is a factory in the case of manufacturing industries, a workshop in the case of repair services, an undertaking or a licensee in the case of electricity, gas & water supply undertakings and an establishment in the case of bidi & cigar industries. The owner of two or more establishments located in the same State and pertaining to the same industry group and belonging to same scheme (census or sample) is, however, permitted to furnish a single consolidated return. Such consolidated returns are common feature in the case of bidi and cigar establishments, electricity and certain public sector undertakings.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The ASI extends to the entire country except the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Sikkim and Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948 i.e. those factories employing 10 or more workers using power; and those employing 20 or more workers without using power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi & Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act, 1966 with coverage as above. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) were covered under ASI irrespective of their employment size. Certain servicing units and activities like water supply, cold storage, repairing of motor vehicles and other consumer durables like watches etc. are covered under the Survey. Though servicing industries like motion picture production, personal services like laundry services, job dyeing, etc. are covered under the Survey but data are not tabulated, as these industries do not fall under the scope of industrial sector defined by the United Nations. Defence establishments, department undertakings, oil storage and distribution depots, restaurants, hotels, café and computer services and the technical training institutes, etc. are excluded from the purview of the Survey.
Universe
The survey cover factories registered under the Factory Act 1948.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling design adopted from ASI 2004-05 to ASI 2006-07.
i) Units with 100 or more workers will be categorized as census sector and the rest of the units will be treated as sample sector, without any change in the existing criteria;
ii) In the sample sector, the units will be stratified at 4 digit level of NIC-04 in each State separately and 1/5th of the units in each strata will be selected circular systematically for coverage in each ASI subject to a minimum sample size of 6 units in each stratum;
iii) This design will ensure that the whole universe of units is covered in five years;
iv) The classification of the units in the frame into census and sample sectors should be done in the beginning of the 5-year cycle and it should not be disturbed during the course of the cycle;
v) At the end of the cycle when the data on the all the units in the frame become available the frame should be updated and then the composition of census and sample sector should be re-drafted;
vi) In respect of the new units getting registered each year of the last 4 years in the 5-year cycle, a supplementary frame has to be prepared for each year and units for coverage from this supplementary frame of each year may be selected using the same criteria as was applied to the main frame.
A new sampling design was adopted for ASI 2007-08.
For ASI 2007-2008, the Census Sector has been defined as follows:
All industrial units belonging to the five less industrially developed states/ UT's viz. Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
For the rest of the twenty-six states/ UT's., (i) units having 100 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.
c) Strata (State by 4-digit of NIC-04) having less than or equal to six units after selecting the Census Sector units as defined above are also selected as census sector.
d) From the remaining merged frame (main frame 2004-05 plus supplementary frame 2005-06 plus supplementary frame 2006-07 plus supplementary frame 2007-08), samples were drawn considering higher allocation for states having relatively higher percentage contribution in sample sector in terms of GVA based on last 2 (two) years' available data. Accordingly, state wise census and sample sector contribution of GVA was calculated based on last two years' available data along with the RSE of GVA estimates in sample sector based on data of ASI 2005-06. In general, sampling fraction of 12% was considered for all the states within a StateXSectorX4-digit NIC with a minimum of 6 units evenly distributed in two sub-samples, except (i) Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Goa with 20% sampling fraction, (ii) Delhi & Rajasthan with 13% sampling fraction, (iii) Bihar & Pondicherry with 15% sampling fraction due to relatively higher contribution of sample sector to the total GVA and higher RSE.
i) Units with 100 or more workers will be categorized as census sector and the rest of the units will be treated as sample sector, without any change in the existing criteria;
ii) In the sample sector, the units will be stratified at 4 digit level of NIC-04 in each State separately and 1/5th of the units in each strata will be selected circular systematically for coverage in each ASI subject to a minimum sample size of 6 units in each stratum;

c) Strata (State by 4-digit of NIC-04) having less than or equal to six units after selecting the Census Sector units as defined above are also selected as census sector.
d) From the remaining merged frame (main frame 2004-05 plus supplementary frame 2005-06 plus supplementary frame 2006-07 plus supplementary frame 2007-08), samples were drawn considering higher allocation for states having relatively higher percentage contribution in sample sector in terms of GVA based on last 2 (two) years' available data. Accordingly, state wise census and sample sector contribution of GVA was calculated based on last two years' available data along with the RSE of GVA estimates in sample sector based on data of ASI 2005-06.

Characteristics of Data Collection Situation - Notes on data collection
Data for the ASI are collected through a comprehensive schedule. In the initial rounds, the schedule sought particulars relating to manufacturing activity only. Over the years, additions were made to meet the specific data requirements of various organisations. By 1973-74, the schedule consisted of five Parts: Part I on manufacturing, Part II on labour turnover, Part III on stocks & consumption of components and accessories in small scale sector, Part IV on construction expenditure and Part V on indirect taxes, sales, subsidies and capacity of power equipments installed. It was felt that the ASI schedule had become too unwieldy and complicated. So a modified schedule with three parts on manufacturing, labour and construction was adopted with effect from ASI 1974-75. Further modifications in the schedule were carried out in 1987-88, and again in 1997-98. Part III schedule relating to construction has been discontinued from 1998-99. The schedule from ASI 2003-04 also incorporated some minor changes.
