After 1991, Karnataka’s industrial landscape split in two. Some of the state’s best-known public-sector factories—ITI, HMT, Mysore Lamp Works, NGEF—slid into losses, soft-budget support and eventual closure or near-collapse. Others, notably HAL, stayed profitable. Private firms such as Kirloskar Electric, Vikrant Tyres and Trot Shoes followed still different paths: restructuring, takeover or quiet survival at reduced scale. This book explains why. Using DuPont ratios, Beneish M-scores, Altman Z-scores and courtroom and parliamentary records, it shows how liberalisation, lost protection and strategic mandate produced sharply divergent outcomes—and how those firm-level failures reshaped Bangalore’s older industrial neighbourhoods. A clear, data-driven account of industrial destabilisation in India’s most famous technology city.
