Sumerpur industries

It is true that industries are mother of prosperity. As we know that hamirpur is a under-developed region. Hens Industrialisation considered backward due to unorgnised system and lack of skilled labour. 

Some years ago there were several small and tiny industrial units were scattered across the region at Bharwa Sumerpur like Veenus Steel, Eswarya Ispaat, Hamirpur Alloys, Juhi steel, Rimjhim ispat ltd, Vaibhaw Ispat, Rekan Mill, and Hans Casting. The other industries were - Dhruw Sement, Sudarshan oxygen, Wandna Steel, Gautam Sement, Shushila Paper Mill, Jubli Paper Mill, Shiva Cement, Rajat Cardboard factory near Pandhari road. Sant Boxes Mills, Amit Packaging, Hamvila Pashu Ahar Kendra.

All these factories provided employment to the local as well as other state employees. But due to unpaid loans and limited skilled workforce most of the factories are locked out or about to close.

Currently  Hindustan unilever, Rimjhim, Juhi, Hans metals and Amit Packaging are running with continuty.

There is only one large manufacturing units in the entire region is Hindustan Unilever - a unit of the public sector. Other remaining most profitable industry in the region is casting of iron ore like - Rimjhim Ispat Ltd and Hans metmetals ltd.

There are no major export-oriented industries accept  Iron Steel rods and wire from  Rimjhim Ispat Ltd.

Inspit of these factories no modern industry has emerged in this region. But now a days administration are taking attention in this field and new factories are setting up like KD oil mills and concrete poles plants.

Bharwa Sumerpur is the only source of industrial' employment.
