Answers
Answer:
the industrial production in india increased in world war 1 bcz due to demand for weapons for war
Answer: Due to England being at war, its overall production decreased giving way to Indian producers to fulfill the demand. Thus, the industrial production in India increased during the First World War.
Explanation:
1. England was at war and the overall production of the country decreased.
2. As Indian markets were largely supplied by British produced goods, there was a lot of demand for goods but it was not fulfilled.
3. Indian producers now had a huge home market to supply for and thus they began to produce more.
4. Investments were made in the industries and production boomed.
5. More workers were employed and were made to work for extended shifts.
6. Soon after, the production in England was completely shut off and the goods required for english markets and for the soldiers was also produced by the Indian producers.
All this lead to the growth of Indian textile industry and its production.
