Why has the industrial sector performed poorly in the reform period?

Solution

The post-reform period shows that industrial growth has slowed down. This was due to:
(a) Globalisation created conditions for free movement of goods and services from foreign countries. It adversely affected the local industries and employment in developing countries.
(b) Globalisation led to decrease in demand for domestic industrial products due to cheaper imports.
(c) There was an inadequate investment in infrastructural facilities such as power supply.
(d) A developing country like India still does not have the access to markets of developed countries due to high non-tariff barriers.
