This measure does not adjust for inflation; it is expressed in nominal terms. In practice, it is a measure of the rate of change that a nation's gross domestic product (GDP) goes through from one year to another, but gross national product (GNP) can also be used if a nation's economy depends heavily on foreign earnings.

Even though the geographical location and topography of the state is not congenial for industrial development the sector has slowly made a significant contribution in the GSDP. The industries sector has contributed 22.02% of GSDP during 2012-13 as against 18.66% in 2011-12 (Statistical handbook Mizoram 2014).  

Composition Of Sectors

Upgradation of EPIP Lengte is being executed under the funding from NEC.

Composition Of Sectors

Textiles, Handlooms & Handicrafts:

Handloom is the most flourishing sector in the development of Industrial activities. The handloom production is estimated to be 6.00 crore creating thousands of employment. The sector is further expected to be most promising to benefit the Look East Policy announced by the Central Government. Handloom Sector is most potential sector for export as the inhabitants of the South East Asian Countries are wearing the same type of fabrics produced by local weavers. 

Composition Of Sectors

Food Processing Sector:

Development of Food Processing Industry has been taken up under the National Mission on Food Processing (NMFP). The Director of Industries has been appointed as Mission Director for the State Mission on Food Processing.

The first meeting of the SLEC on 26/11/2013 had decided to implement the scheme in a society mode. For this society by the name of Mizoram Food Processing Development Society (MIFPRODS) has been formed and is being registered under the Societies Registration Act.
