LPG

In 1991, India introduced a new economic policy called LPG (Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization). The policy aimed to liberalize and open up the Indian economy to increase foreign investment and improve the balance of payments position. Liberalization reduced regulations and restrictions to make policies less constraining to economic activity. Privatization transferred ownership of public sector enterprises to private entities to increase efficiency. Globalization integrated India's economy by opening it up to foreign direct investment and trade. The policy changes aimed to spur economic growth but also had risks of job losses and rising inequality.
