First Phase of High Growth was from 1951-66 for the first three five year plans. Investment in heavy industries was the key factor and the phase had growth of 9 percent.
Second Phase of Industrial Retrogression was the period from 1966-80 during fourth and fifth year plan. The average Industrial growth rate remained 4.1% reason may be back to back wars of 1965 and 1971 and too many drought seasons.
Third Phase of Industrial Recovery was from 1980-91.The average growth remained between 6.4 to 8.3%.The change in consumer pattern durable were called the “forefront of growth” during this phase.
