• Liberalisation (or liberalization) is any method of how a state raises


limitations on some private individual ventures. Liberalisation befalls
when something which was forbidden is no longer forbidden or when
government laws are loosened.

multiple areas of the economy. Though some liberalisation proposals
were prefaced in the 1980s in areas of export-import policy, technology
up-gradation, fiscal policy and foreign investment, industrial licensing,
economic reform policies launched in 1991 were more general. There
are a few significant areas, namely, the financial sector, industrial
sector, foreign exchange markets, tax reforms and investment and trade
sectors which gained recognition in and after 1991
