As per the Industrial policy resolution 1956 of India, industries were divided into how many category?
Three
The Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) of 1956 is often called the 'economic constitution of India' because it laid the long-term framework for industrial development under the socialist pattern of society.
Its central feature was to classify all industries into categories on the basis of ownership, that is, who would be responsible for developing them, the State or the private sector.
It divided industries into three categories, listed in three schedules, Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C, so the correct count is three.
Schedule A contained 17 industries whose future development was the exclusive responsibility of the State, including sectors like arms and ammunition, atomic energy, railways and heavy industries.
Schedule B contained 12 industries that would be progressively state-owned, but in which private enterprise could also participate alongside the State, such as certain minerals, machine tools and fertilisers.
Schedule C was the residual category covering all the remaining industries, which were left to the private sector, though still subject to State regulation and licensing.
Because the resolution set out exactly these three schedules, the number of categories of industries is Three.
