The Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) Policy was considered the window of great opportunity for India to formally enter into international market as a potential contender. The year 1991 dawned with an economic crisis in the country; it was by virtue of this divergent LPG Policy aimed at opening new avenues for the economy to grow.
