Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) All of the above

Explanation:

  • The New Industrial Policy of 1991 fundamentally restructured the Indian economy by adopting the LPG Model (Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization).
  • Liberalization aimed to dismantle the restrictive 'License Raj', removing barriers to entry and expansion for businesses.
  • Privatization involved reducing the role of the public sector and promoting private ownership by divesting government stakes in public enterprises.
  • Globalization integrated the Indian economy with the world economy by easing foreign direct investment (FDI) and reducing tariffs.

Information Booster:
  • The policy was introduced by the government of Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao on July 24, 1991.
  • The chief architect behind these pivotal economic reforms was the then Finance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh.
  • It successfully rescued India from a severe Balance of Payments (BoP) crisis.

Additional Knowledge:
  • liberalization (Option A)

  • privatization (Option B)
    It represents the structural shift in ownership but only covers one pillar of the policy.
  • globalization (Option C)
    It signifies opening up the economy but ignores domestic deregulations.

So the correct answer is (d)
