The LPG reforms in India, introduced in 1991, encompass liberalization, privatization, and globalization to address a balance of payments crisis and enhance economic growth. These reforms aimed to transition India from a closed economy with high state control to a more open market economy, fostering private sector participation and global trade. As a result, the reforms reduced government expenditures, improved foreign exchange reserves, and positioned India as a significant player in the global market.

3.  Liberalization, the loosening of
government controls. Although
sometimes associated with the
relaxation of laws relating to social
matters such as abortion and divorce,
liberalization is most often used as an
economic term. In particular, it refers
to reductions in restrictions on
international trade and capital.

4.  Privatization occurs when a
government-owned business,
operation, or property becomes
owned by a private, non-
government party. Privatization
also may describe a transition
that takes a company from being
publicly traded to becoming
privately held.

5.  Globalization is a term used to
describe how trade and technology
have made the world into a more
connected and interdependent
place. Globalization also captures
in its scope the economic and
social changes that have come
about as a result.
