NIC Code 2008

According to the amendments suggested during the 38th session of the UN Statistical Commission, the NIC code 2008 is an updated version of the NIC code 2004. The International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) categories had to be adopted by nations as part of the NIC code 2008 for their domestic industry groupings.

The NIC code 2008 offers a widely accepted method for gathering and analysing information about industries and their contribution to the Indian economy.

Based on ISIC-rev. 4, the NIC code 2008 structure was developed. The hierarchical arrangement of activities is given additional importance in the NIC code 2008 as a result of this modification.

NIC Code List

The NIC code list categorises businesses and activities in accordance with the NIC code 2008 structure. In light of this, a "segment" of activities/industries can be found on the NIC code list. This is arranged in alphabetical order from "A" to "U." The divisions within each segment are determined by two-figure number codes. Each division is divided into groups using three-digit codes, as shown below.
