Reasons

Indian Economy was not in good position at the time of independence. Therefore Govt decided to give a boost to the economy, for this they put barriers on Foreign direct investment and high import duty on Foreign goods so that Indian industry could grow.

Indian Govt thought if they allow the Foreign companies in India then Indian industry would not grow. Because foreign companies has better technology and more capital.


But in 1991 the Indian economy was at its worst situation. There was shortage of Foreign exchange arised and they even had enough Foreign Currency to purchase necessary goods.


Then Govt apporoched to world bank for loan but they asked to mortgage the GOLD reserv and suggested them to come with economic reforms.



hope it helps
