SHRIC industry codes⚓︎

SHRIC (SHRUG industrial classification) codes are industrial codes constructed by us to harmonize NIC (National Industrial Classification) codes across various NIC versions. Specifically, the NIC has passed through several versions, and India has its own national version. The SHRIC is the 3-digit NIC08, grouped for easy concordance with NIC 2004 and NIC 1987. You can download the description of SHRIC codes in terms of industries and the mapping of SHRIC to different NIC code versions from the SHRIC Industry Code module.

SHRIC codes used in manufacturing and services employment totals⚓︎

The variables ecYY_emp_manuf and ecYY_emp_services, where YY is 90, 98, 05, or 13 depending on the Economic Census year, are constructed from the SHRIC-level employment variables as follows:

Variable Included SHRIC codes
ecYY_emp_manuf SHRICs 5–34 and 72
ecYY_emp_services SHRICs 35–71 and 73–90

These ranges are inclusive. SHRICs 1–4 are primary-sector categories and are excluded from both totals.
