You can show data-attribute in Razor C#, by simply changing dashes(-) into underscrore, so your above code will be like this

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Industry, OnePassV3.utility.OptionList.GetIndustryListSelectList()
                           , new { @class="cs-select cs-skin-slide cs-transparent", @data_init_plugin="cs-select" })

it will work in Razor view and will be rendered as data-init-plugin="cs-select".
