Example Sentence: In 75 years, India has not been able to industrialise sufficiently. Its manufacturing share in output and employment has always been stagnant and below 20%, except during the ‘Dream Run, 2003–08’.

Its industrial investment is stagnating, with high levels of unemployment and chronic disguised unemployment. Its trade deficit, largely driven by imported goods, has been widening. India is not even producing the goods its consumes, let alone exporting.
