The economic boom that is being experienced in India is largely attributed to the globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy. The era prior to the 1990s was quite averse to the concept of an open market policy and the Indian markets were predominantly closed in nature.
The government of India, however, ruled and regulated Indian markets but with the globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy, the whole market scenario changed in no time. The economic policy drafted in early 1990s by the government of India facilitated huge inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) in to the much insulated Indian markets. Prime economic factors like Industrial Growth, Balance-of-Payments, Merchandise Exports, Invisible Accounts and Foreign-Exchange-Reserves witnessed positive growth and effected tremendous growth of Indian Economy.
The positive effects of globalization and liberalization of Indian economy can be corroborated from the following facts -
Industrial Growth - for the first time has exceeded 10%. Manufacturing growth rate has exceeded 12% in 6 months (April-September, 2006). The mining and quarrying sector has registered a growth of 4%. The electricity sector recorded a double-digit growth of 12% during September, 2006 as compared to September, 2005. Consumer durables and non-durables have also recorded upswings. The use-base economic sub-groups and intermediate goods have registered an impressive growth of almost 15% during September, 2006 over September, 2005. Consumer goods have recorded a high growth of 13%. The National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council has targeted 12 to 14% growth in the 11th Plan period
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) - net investments in equities crossed US$ 7 billion in calendar 2006. FII net investment till 6 November 2006 has been US$ 7.08 billion, according to the Securities and Exchange Board of India. 151 new FIIs have opened their offices in India during first 10 months of 2006. The total number of FIIs in India stands at 974 as on November, 2006 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) - India envisage of attracting $10 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) this year as inflows have nearly doubled to US$ 4.4 billion in April-September 2006. In September 2006, FDI inflows grew 225% to US$ 916 million as compared to US$ 282 million in the same month last year. Services attracted maximum investment of US$ 1.5 billion recording growth of 350%. Telecommunication sector with inflows of US$ 405 million has registered the maximum growth of 950%. Corporate India has recorded its highest rise in salaries at 22% in the first half of 2006-07 against increase of 17% in 2005-06
