National Industrial Classification : NIC Code For Manufacturing

National Industrial Classification


The National Industrial Classification of 2008 aims to establish a framework for the uniform collection, analysis, and dissemination of industry-specific economic data in India.

The CSO developed a draft National Industrial Classification called Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) in response to the needs, which was finalized and released in 1962

NIC 2008 is more compatible with the international system of classification. This enables the compliance processes for registration to flow in a smooth manner.
