Abstract: This paper investigates whether industrial dispersal policy is more potent or the natural and agglomeration cost advantages are important in influencing locational choice of a firm. To carry out the analysis, an agglomeration measure given by Ellison and Glaeser is computed for 66 manufacturing industries in 21 major States of India for the year 1997-98.
