"The East India Companys rule did not directly lead to the industrialization of India. While the Company did introduce some modern technologies and industries, such as textile mills and coal mining, their primary focus was on exporting raw materials from India and importing manufactured goods from Britain. The Companys policies and practices were aimed at protecting British industries rather than promoting industrial development in India. It was only in the later period of British colonial rule, under the British Crown, that industrialization efforts were initiated."
