Goa is considered an industrially backward state in the country, due to which the central government has announced Income Tax holiday here, in order to attract industrialists. Besides this, Goa government also had declared 15-year Sales Tax holiday since 1972, which came to an end from 31 March 2000, except for the units in pipeline.

The industrial sector is estimated to have contributed only Rs 1.98 crore (6.5 per cent of GDP), generating an estimated employment of 16,704 persons (6.5 per cent of the workforce). More than 70 per cent of medium and large scale industries and 47 per cent of small industries came to Goa after 1986-87, after Statehood, may be because central clearance for the projects during the Union Territory days was delaying the process.

However, 90 per cent power guzzling small,medium and large scale industry also came to Goa after 1998, since Goa had no industrial policy of its own. Even till date, there is no concrete industrial policy while the industrial development has literally come to a standstill due to ban on new power connections as haphazard industrial development has brought immense pressure on power availability in Goa.

There are 16 industrial estates with a total number of 712 sheds as follows: Corlim, S. Jose de Areal, Sancoale, Mapusa, Tivim, Bicholim, Honda Cacora, Kundaim, Betora, Canacona, Tuem, Verna, Cuncolim, Pilerne, Marcaim,
