Growth Poles are important in the development of industries in India. An industrial centre from which the process of development penetrates into the surrounding region, which in turn results in the comprehensive development in the area, is called Growth Pole.
Though there are many minor and major industrial regions of India, identification of growth pole is crucial in the development of the backward areas. Growth Pole plays a vital role in nullifying the regional imbalances. Absence of Forward and Backward linkages leads to no growth in the surrounding areas.
