The Indian economy experienced major policy changes in the early 1990s with the new economic reform program known as LPG (Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization), which aimed to make India a fast-growing and competitive global economy. The series of reforms in industries, trade, and the financial sector aimed to increase efficiency. Major changes included freeing industries, increasing investment limits, liberalizing imports/exports, opening the banking sector, increasing foreign investment, and controlling prices.
