Abstract: Like many other industries, bicyle production in India developed after Independence. But unlike most other industries which remained concen trated in metropolitan centres, bicycle manufacturing took roots in up country towns, defying competition from metropolitan enterprises. This paper, discussing the factors responsible for the success of the northern entrepreneurs, emphasises that various concessions given by the govern ment to the refugees from Pakistan played a critical role.
