IMPACT ON INDUSTRIES
Industrialization through import substitution and public sector production with emphasis on heavy industry has been a very important objective of our planning for development. In particular an important distinction was made among industries to be developed exclusively by the public sector, those reserved for the private sector, and those open to development by either or both sectors.
The reforms of 1991 abolished industrial licensing, except in a few industries for locational reasons or for environmental considerations, and import licensing, except in the case of most consumer goods. Restrictions under the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act were eased. Entry requirements (including limits on equity participation) for foreign direct investment were relaxed, private (domestic and foreign) investment were allowed into sectors such as power which had been reserved for public sector investment only. Disinvestment of equity in the public sector was also initiated. The reforms, by focusing primarily on the private sector and not addressing the problems of PSEs, have exacerbated them.
Industry accounts for 28% of the GDP and employ 14% of the total workforce.[20] In absolute terms, India is 12th in the world in terms of nominal factory output.[77] The Indian industrial sector underwent significant changes as a result of the economic reforms of 1991, which removed import restrictions, brought in foreign competition, led to privatization of certain public sector industries, liberalized the FDI regime, improved infrastructure and led to an expansion in the production of fast moving consumer goods.[78] Post-liberalization, the Indian private sector was

    Today Ronald Reagan is remembered as one of the most charismatic presidents in American history. His rousing speeches, wide smile, and humorous attitude made him very popular leader at the time of his presidency. He easily got along with politicians and bureaucrats but yet still reigned with a firm hand. In 1981 when the nation’s air traffic controllers threatened to strike Reagan set aside his easygoing leadership style and became the firm leader that nation needed. He immediately fired all of air traffic controllers, who were threatening to strike, and hired new ones to prevent a potential shutdown of U.S. airways.…

    The New Economic Policy, or NEP, introduced by the Bolshevik government in 1921, was an attempt to readjust and realign the Soviet economy and to prevent its implosion. The basic concept of the new policy was that the appropriation of food from the peasants, as pioneered in the infamous ‘War Communism’, was to be abolished and replaced by a ‘tax in kind’. Peasants were then left in undisturbed possession of the land, free to sell their produce in the market. The policy ran from 1921 until 1928 and generated a great deal of controversy, both at the time and from historians since. A common argument levelled at the policy was that it was unsuccessful in attaining what it was trying to achieve and should not have been adopted by the Bolshevik Government.…

One section of the 12th five year plan mentioned that China is going to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, and which, are the most Incomprehensible reform to me. It wrote that the government will continue to promote the telecommunications, petroleum, civil aviation and public utilities reform, but, they are also going to deepen the reform of monopoly industries, and further the expand market access, in order to form a market structure with effective competition. Wait a second, it is so contradicting! It seems that since the 90s, the central have released many industries to the privately owned enterprise to join in the market, for example, the real estate, automotive and banking. But the truth is, with the inland central power through various policy means, the local governments could choose who could enter into the “ deregulated “ industries. There is a simple example, could show the problem clearly. In China, the oil industry is always one of the most profitable industries and the resources of the petrol retailing segment is actually included as a “ deregulated” industries.

    Since the 1930s and particularly after World War II, numerous State Owned Enterprises, also called Public Enterprises (PEs) were created in both developing and developed countries to address market deficits and capital shortfalls, promote economic development, reduce mass unemployment, and/or ensure national control over the overall direction of the economy especially in developing countries. By providing capital and technology to strategic areas where the private sector either shied away from or lack the capacity to invest (such as heavy industries, infrastructure, etc.) most government resorted to Public enterprises to increase capital formation, produce essential goods at lower costs, create employment and generally contribute to the economic development of the nation state.
