FIGURE 8.30 GDP income per capita (PPP) and industrial and IT centers in India. The presence of industry is often associated with higher incomes, and because of this, planners sometimes try to bring industry to low-income places. In some areas, poverty may be so great that even fairly intensive industrial development is able to raise average incomes above base levels only slowly. (The per capita income PPP information since 2009 for India’s states was not available at time of writing.)
