Results of the Growth of Modern Industries

Results of the Growth of Modern Industries: Since modern industries were established in locations convenient to the British, some parts of India progressed while others remained undeveloped. You must remember that most of these factories were originally owned by the British, and all the profit went to them.

The impact of our national movement for freedom and international developments opened the gates of modern industries in India. Tea become the biggest plantation industry in Assam , Bengal,and South India. So much so that Indian tea topped the world market and England became its bigger buyer. The other plantation industries were coffee, cinchona and rubber.

Industries like cotton , jute , iron and steel developed at a fast rate. For example, with the expansion of railways , the demand for coal , iron and steel increased . It was because  of far sightedness and determination of Jamshedji Tata that world class famous company like Tata Iron and steel Company came up. With the passage of time, the cement, chemical and sugar industries also developed.

But we had to import machinery from abroad . It was only after independence that basic or key industries were given priority.
