Abstract

While there has been extensive research and practitioner interest in regulated industries, the classification of regulated industries, as used in many previous studies, is dated, not comprehensive and lacks consensus. This paper provides an alternative classification of regulated industries in India based on several parameters of regulation. The usefulness of the classification index is demonstrated by showing how regulated industries differ from non-regulated industries in terms of political connections and industry concentration.
