Explanation:

Liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation: As a part of economic reforms, the Government of India announced a new industrial policy in July 1991 which sought to liberate the industry from the shackles of the licensing system (liberalisation), drastically reduce the role of the public sector (privatisation) and encourage foreign private participation in industrial development (globalisation).

The "Make in India" initiative aimed to integrate the Indian economy with the global economy by attracting foreign investment and fostering international trade relationships.
