India's manufacturing under-performance: A new clue from ‘multi-plants'

In Tuesday's piece, we highlighted the rise of the multi-plant phenomenon and showed that when account is taken of it, large plants in India have not grown over time despite a number of favourable developments such as policy liberalisation and contractualisation of labour.
