Model Answer
Industry Analysis means studying the performance and prospects of the industry/sector to which a company belongs. Companies producing similar products form a part of one industry. Analysts examine the effect of government policy, future demand, and changes in business environment (e.g., rupee devaluation benefiting export-oriented companies) on the industry's outlook.

Explanation
- The examiner wants the definition of Industry Analysis and its key components (government policy, future demand, business environment changes).
- Use the example from the passage (NHPC, NTPC, TPC → Power Sector) only if needed for context; here the question already states it, so focus on the meaning.
- Do not confuse Industry Analysis with Corporate or Financial Analysis — all three are distinct steps in company analysis.
