18. Concluding Remark
India has to surpass each of these barriers in order to compete
globally. Inefficient government bureaucracy and corruption
should be the primary focus of government. India has
successfully implement reforms in 1991. But the World economic
Forum’s executive survey demonstrates the need of further
reforms in terms of restriction and liberalization. Access to
financing, tax regulation and policy stability are viewed as
hurdles in India. The policy makers have to focus on factors like
sustainability, environment, inclusive growth and social sector
both during drafting the policy and implementing it.
