Building materials and Machinery and equipment

Building materials buys from Machinery and equipment; building materials depends on machinery and equipment.

Building materials (industry) and Machinery and equipment (industry): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Buys from

Physical flow · ₹1.5 per ₹100 · Building materials buys from Machinery and equipment

Building materials buys goods or services from Machinery and equipment; counted through every round of supply, ₹1.5 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

  • ₹1.5 of every ₹100 of Building materials output, all rounds
  • ₹0.7 bought directly
