Industries are divided on the basis of raw material, size and ownership.
Size of Industries refers to the amount of capital invested, a number of people employed and the volume of production. Industries are classified into two types based on size: small scale and large scale industries.
Small scale industries manufacture products by hand and includes cottage and household industry. These industries use a lesser amount of capital and technology. For example, Basket-weaving, pottery and other handicraft industries.
Large scale industries produce large volumes of products. The investment of capital is higher, and technology is superior. For example, the production of automobiles and heavy machinery.

Private Sector Industries owned and operated by individuals or a group of individuals. For example, Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation.
