The emergence of a dynamic indigenous entrepreneurial class and a progressive spread of industries away from their traditional locations are also noteworthy features of the post-Independence industrial transformation. The agriculture sector in India is expected to create better energy in the next few years due to increased investment in agricultural infrastructure such as irrigation facilities, warehousing and cold storage.
