The Republic of India has come a long way in the last 50 years and has experienced myriad changes over the last 10 years since the government liberalized trade and economic policies. India's achievement in industry, science and technology since independence has been impressive. However, over the decade prior to 1991 business activity had been increasingly hampered by a system of controls and prohibitions. Bureaucratic constraints denied India its optimum growth and prosperity. The new industrial policy introduced by the Government in 1991 launched a series of far reaching economic reforms, bringing to an end the closed marked economy which kept India from exploiting its full economic potential. The reforms initiated in 1991 have received a further boost in the budget presented in the parliament in February 2001.
India's widely heralded new prosperity and market potential is attributed to this qualitative improvement in the socioeconomic context. A land of over a billion people, India provides one of the largest domestic markets in the world of investors. The country abounds in natural resources and raw materials and has the added advantage of enjoying a large pool of scientifically and technically qualified workers, abundant cost effective skilled and unskilled labour and a network of technical and management institutes of the highest international standards.
Simplification of Procedure
The new industrial policy announced by the Government of India on 24th July, 1991 gave Indian industry a new direction. The Governments liberalization and economic reforms program aims at rapid and substantial economic growth, and integration with the global economy in a harmonised manner. The industrial policy reforms have reduced the industrial licensing requirements, removal of restirictions on ivestment and expansion and facilitated easy access to foreign technology and foreign direct investment.
