Series Information
The Investment Climate Surveys (ICS) were conducted by the World Bank and its partners across all geographic regions and covered firms of all sizes in many industries. The ICS collected a wide array of qualitative and quantitative information through face-to-face interviews with managers and owners regarding the investment climate in their country and the productivity of their firms.
Firm-level surveys have been carried out since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit (FPDEA). Enterprise Surveys, a replacement for Investment Climate Surveys, are now conducted by the Enterprise Analysis Unit.

Abstract
This research is part of India 2006 Investment Climate Survey initiative that focused on enterprises in the manufacturing, retail, micro (informal), and software/information technology sectors. A separate survey was conducted for each sector.
The investment climate surveys (ICS) collected information on the investment climate constraints the sectors faced, such as infrastructure, access to land, relationship with the court system, crime, government administration, use of financial services, and labor force. In addition, the surveys collected basic information on the firms, such as ownership structure, number of years of operations, and revenues and costs. The data and results from the ICS were intended to help develop policy reforms that would further promote growth and productivity of firms in India.
The India 2006 Information and Communication Technology Survey covered 360 firms from seven states and union territories: Andra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. Enterprises working in the following industries were surveyed: telecom services, software, information technology-enabled services (ITES), and media and entertainment services.
