This paper has presented an analytical framework to assess the structural change within the Indian manufacturing sector during the post-reforms period. This framework identifies that mutually reinforcing demand and productivity regimes in the manufacturing sector lead to a virtuous growth process in the economy with both employment and labour productivity expansion. The important ingredients of the process that lead to this mutually reinforcing relationship like technological upgradation, capital deepening, use of modern service inputs and export expansion and diversification have been the focus of enquiry in this paper.
