Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization (LPG) in India

The New Economic Policy (NEP) was introduced in 1991 to liberalize the Indian economy and promote economic growth.

The primary objective of the LPG policy was to promote economic growth by liberalizing the economy, privatizing state-owned enterprises, and integrating India with the global economy.

The manufacturing sector was the most affected by the privatization process in India, with many state-owned enterprises being sold to private companies.

The LPG policy had a positive impact on the Indian economy, leading to increased economic growth, reduced poverty, and improved social welfare.
