History

Historical Context

Facing a balance-of-payments crisis in 1991, Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao and Finance Minister Manmohan Singh dismantled the Licence Raj, slashing tariffs and opening the automobile sector to firms such as Maruti Suzuki. The reforms lifted trade’s share of GDP from 16% in 1990-91 to 47% by 2009-10, laying the groundwork for today’s commercial-vehicle expansion.
