between the years of one AD and 1000 AD.

INDIAN ECONOMY AFTERINDEPENDENCE ( POST-COLONIAL )
• India’s economic policy after independence was
influenced by the colonial experience.
• The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 proposed a
mixed economy.
• India set up the Planning Commission in 1950 in
order to oversee the entire range of planning,
including resource allocation, implementation, and
appraisal of five-year plans.
• From the 50s to the 91, several industries, and
companies were nationalized by the government.
• License raj system and excessive state control
resulted in slow economic growth in the post-
colonial timeline.

THE ECONOMIC REFORMSOF 1991
• Economic liberalisation in India was initiated in 1991 by Prime Minister P.
V. Narasimha Rao and his then-Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
• The reforms did away with the Licence Raj, reduced tariffs and interest
rates and ended many public monopolies, allowing automatic approval of
foreign direct investment in many sectors.
• By the turn of the 21st century, India had progressed towards a free-
market economy, with a substantial reduction in state control of the
economy and increased financial liberalisation.

FUTURE OF THEINDIAN ECONOMY
• India is already the fastest-growing economy in the world, having
clocked 5.5% average gross domestic product growth over the
past decade.
• India may become the third-largest economy by 2030 overtaking
Japan and Germany. S&P’s forecast is based on the projection
that India's annual nominal gross domestic product growth will
average 6.3% through 2030.
• In a recent Morgan Stanley Research blue paper, analysts from
various sectors examine how this new phase of economic
development may result in a number of startling changes,
including increasing credit availability, increasing India's share of
global manufacturing, promoting the growth of new businesses,
enhancing quality of life, and causing a huge rise in consumer
spending in the years to come.
• Over this time, shares of international exports may also double,
and the Bombay Stock Exchange may have 11% annual growth,
resulting in a market valuation of $10 trillion in the next ten
years.
