The document discusses India's economic crisis in 1991 that led the country to adopt liberalization, privatization, and globalization (LPG) policies. It notes that in 1991 India faced high fiscal and current account deficits, rising debt obligations, and inflation. Previous oil shocks and increased military spending had contributed to the crisis. Under LPG, India reduced restrictions on trade and foreign investment. It privatized state-owned companies and integrated its economy with the global market.
