Manufacturing industries is an important secondary economic activity of human being, which generate employment and strengthen the economy of any country. Rail transportation play important role in establishment and development of industries. Therefore an attempt is made her to study the impact of density of rail route on number of industries. The Paper is based on the secondary data sources. To examine the impact of density of rail route on number of industries the Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation technique and regression equation has been utilized. The study reveals that the density of rail route is explaining only 26.94 per cent of the total variations in dependent variable (Y) i.e. the number of industries in the State.
