The industrial revolution arrived behind schedule to India, because of its muddled political and financial relationship with Great Britain. In spite of the fact that India, which was a British settlement, ruled the worldwide cotton material business sectors in the eighteenth century, the Indian material industry endured a shot when the modern upheaval started in Great Britain. The utilization of steam power in British factories diminished the expense of British cotton by 85%, making its material merchandise universally serious interestingly. [25]

New pioneer regulations constrained Indian ranchers to give the greater part of their fields to cotton crops, rather than food, which prompted broad starvation and neediness in India. In this manner, the modern insurgency switched India's financial relationship with Great Britain so it was currently simply a provider of unrefined substances for Great Britain and a shipper of British materials, rather than a maker of material merchandise. Therefore, it required a long time before India began taking on current modern practices, for example, steam power and automated turning and winding, in its material assembling. The industrial revolution at last came to India in 1854, when the main steam-fueled cotton plant in Asia opened in Bombay. Development was slow however and the extension of these modernized cotton factories didn't get until the 1870s and 80s.

India presently has the 6th biggest economy on the planet.
