The economic liberalization was introduced in

  • A.1991
  • B.1990
  • C.1985
  • D.1988

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1991

Economic liberalisation was introduced in 1991, when a balance-of-payments crisis left India with reserves sufficient for only a few weeks of imports and forced a reappraisal of policy.

The response combined devaluation, the New Industrial Policy of July 1991 - which abolished industrial licensing for most sectors and opened areas previously reserved to the public sector - trade liberalisation and the opening of the economy to foreign investment. The reforms are associated with Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao and Finance Minister Manmohan Singh, and 1991 is the standard date for the change of direction.
