The Indian economy has undergone substantial changes since the introduction of economic reforms in 1991. These reforms were a comprehensive effort consisting of three main components namely, liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation. They included various measures like deregulating the markets and encouraging private participation; trade liberalisation; dismantling the restrictions on domestic and foreign investments; reforming the financial sector and the tax system, etc. All such policy initiatives radically changed the economic set-up of the country and integrated it with the rest of the world. Thus, India was placed in a globally competitive position so as to fully utilise its potentials and opportunities for rapid growth of the economy.

The industrial sector has been going through a process of restructuring and consolidation after liberalisation responded to the reforms through mergers and acquisitions, adoption of cost cutting measures, foreign collaboration, tec upgradation and outward orientation in sectors such as cement, steel, aluminium, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles.

Performance of the Indian economy on the inflation front, with price stability as one of the prime objectives of the reform has been satisfactory, particularly after the mid 1990s. The annual average inflation rate based on Wholesale Price Index was 10.6 per cent between 1991-96, which fell down to 5.1 per cent in the period 1996-2001 and then to 4.7 per cent in 06.
