On the basis of raw materials, they are agro-based, using farm produce like cotton, jute and sugarcane, or mineral-based, using minerals like iron ore and bauxite. On the basis of their main role, they are basic or key industries, whose products are used by other industries (such as iron and steel), or consumer industries, which make goods for direct use (such as sugar or paper). On the basis of capital investment, they may be small-scale or large-scale. On the basis of ownership, industries are in the public sector (government-owned), private sector (owned by individuals or firms), joint sector (owned jointly), or cooperative sector (owned by producers or workers). This classification helps us understand the variety and organisation of industries.
