Abstract Text	We study whether the effects on registered manufacturing output of dismantling the License Raj – a system of central controls regulating entry and productionnactivity in this sector – vary across Indian states with different labor market regulations. The effects are found to be unequal across Indian states with differentnlabor market regulations. In particular, following delicensing, industries locatednin states with proemployer labor market institutions grew more quickly than thosenin proworker environments.
