1.5 In contrast to the steady performance of the primary sector, the industrial sector went
through a big swing by first contracting by 7 per cent in 2020-21 and then expanding by 11.8
per cent in this financial year. The manufacturing, construction and mining sub-sectors went
through the same swing although the utilities segment experienced a more muted cycle as basic
services such as electricity and water supply were maintained even at the height of the national
lockdown. The share of industry in GVA is now estimated at 28.2 per cent (Table 2).
