INTRODUCTION
The strategic objective of Indian economy policy had experienced major changes during early
1990s. The economic reform, commonly known as, Liberalisation, Privatisation and
Globalisation (LPG model) intended to make the Indian economy as fast moving economy and
globally competitive. The main aim of changes in policy was for creation of a independent
economy and the reduction of the high levels of poverty that existed, all within a democratic
political framework. The different policies improvements commenced with respect to industrial
sector, trade in addition to the carious financial sectors aimed at reforming the Indian economy
more competent. With the beginning of reforms to liberalise in July of 1991, a new era has
emerged for India and its economy. The discussion which made that capital being scarce in
India, and it was vital to standardize the flow of the existing capital into socially projected
channels. This was achieved by an extravagant system of industrial licensing, state monopoly
and control over key industries. The foreign exchange had to be saved by restraining imports, as
it was thought that India was not accomplished of earning foreign exchange through exports.
Consequently the policy highlighted independence and neglected foreign trade as a means of
economic growth.
This period of economic changeover has had an incredible impact on the overall economic
growth of practically all major sectors of the economy, and its effects over the last two decade
can hardly be disregarded. In addition, it also marks the beginning of the real incorporation into
the global economy. Currently that India is in the way of streamlining its economy, with
ambitions of inspiring the present isolated position in the world, the need to accelerate the
economic growth is especially overbearing. And also the positive and vital role that Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) has played in the speedy economic growth of most of the Southeast
Asian countries and most particularly China, India has boarded on an determined plan to outdo
the achievements of its neighbors to the east and is annoying to sell as a safe and profitable
purpose for FDI.
“Globalisation” denotes to the grooming incorporation of economies around the world,
particularly in terms of trade and financial flows, however it also includes labour and knowledge.
Globalisation has various meanings depending on the context and not only includes opening up
of world trade, development of advanced means of communication, internationalization of
financial markets, growing importance of MNCs, population migrations and more generally
increased mobility of persons, goods, capital, data and ideas but also infections, diseases and
pollution. The term globalisation also denotes to the incorporation of economies of the world
through immoral trade and financial flows, as also through mutual exchange of technology and
knowledge.

over the last two decades. India's GDP growth has been slow but careful and steady. India is all
set to rule and give the global force a run for their money. To the extent that the economic

showed tremendously advantageous for India. India's food grain production has more than
doubled over the decades, The India’s foreign exchange reserves have grown significantly since
1991-92 in spite of India's imports have shot up at a faster pace than exports over the decades
resulting in a widening gap in the trade balance. In respect of capital market (which takes into
account the market value of a quoted company by multiplying its current share price by the
number of shares in issue), According to trade pundits India will take the third position as Far as
GDP growth in concerned by 2020 replacing Germany, the UK, and Japan. Only United States
and China will be ahead of it.
