A review on privatization in India

Abstract

The growth of private businesses free of functionary management is a noteworthy feature of India's economic reforms. The public sector in this country requires modernization since it contributes significantly to national investment and development. As a result, the purpose of this essay is to examine the partial privatization and restructuring of India's state-owned companies (SOEs), which need more dynamic shape. Since India switched to market-based pricing and incentives with improved contract enforcement, central government SOEs have increased their profitability, investments, and growth. SOEs outperform private businesses in terms of profitability and efficiency in the industrial sector. SOEs, on the other hand, do worse in the service sector than their competitors. Finally, the research makes policy recommendations for improving SOE performance in India. In many countries, including India, improving the efficiency and performance of public sector banks (PSBs) is a major goal of economic reforms. Private ownership is thought to assist enhance efficiency and performance. As a result, the Indian government began gradually reducing its ownership in PSBs in the early 1990s. Is it true that partially privatizing Indian banks has improved their efficiency and performance? The data on the effect of privatization across the world is varied. Despite the fact that the problem is significant in India, no research has addressed it to the author's knowledge. As a result, the current research fills a significant gap.
