Detailed Solution

The above statement is False. While large industries made up only a small portion of the economy, small-scale factory industries expanded substantially following the war in India. Approximately 67% of them, as of 1911, were in Bengal and Bombay. Small-scale production continued to rule the remainder of the nation. Only a small part of the industrial labour force—5% in 1911 and 10% in 1931—worked in registered factories. The remainder worked in small dwellings and workshops, frequently hidden from view in bylanes and alleys.
The correct statement would be that while large industries grew steadily after the war, small-scale factory industries formed a big segment of the economy in India.
