What was the objective of the 1991 industrial policy for the industrial units?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Appropriate measures were taken to remove obstacles in the way of growth and expansion of industrial units of large industrial houses. The small-scale sector was assured all help and accorded due recognition. In essence, this policy has sought to liberate industry from the shackles of the licensing system (liberalisation), drastically reduce the role of the public sector (privatisation) and encourage foreign private participation in India’s industrial development (globalisation).
