In 1970-71, 11 distilleries produced 528 lakh litres of alcohol. The State has given licences to eight distilleries and they are to go into production during the next two or three years. The production capacity of 11 distilleries, now functioning, is 682 lakh litres and that of those ' to come up will be 390 lakh litres. In the beginning one distillery was owned by the State and five were in the private sector. The new ones that are coming up are all in the co-operative sector only. This would mean a further boost to chemical industry which would include polysterine, rasin, pesticides, etc. Alcohol is now widely used in drugs and medicines and the State accounts for 60 to 70 per cent of the drug production in the country.

Ths sugar industry has helped the growth of industries in the un-developed parts of the State. It has helped the agriculturist to understand the importance of capital formation, production efficiency, etc. It has also helped him to realise that agriculture too is an industry and has got to be ‘ run ’ as such.

From the employment point of view, small industries are particularly impor­ tant. Though the policy in respect of small industries is a central subject their development is the responsibility of the State Government. By 1971 there were 30,000 small industries registered in Maharashtra out of the total of 2 lakh small industries in the country ; giving a percentage of 15. I’he small industries sector in the State is producing transistors, radios, optical and electronic instru­ ments, etc.

Maharashtra’s Big Share Maharashtra has an important place on the industrial map of India. Out of the total productive capital in the country, Maharashtra shares 17 per cent; it also accounts for 24 per cent of gross value of out put. In the State are regis­ tered 1,132 big industries, 261 medium industries and 30,000 small industries.
