Concluding Remark
India has to surpass each of these barriers in order to compete globally. Inefficient government bureaucracy and corruption should be the primary focus of government. India has successfully implement reforms in 1991. But the World economic Forum’s executive survey demonstrates the need of further reforms in terms of restriction and liberalization. Access to financing, tax regulation and policy stability are viewed as hurdles in India. The policy makers have to focus on factors like sustainability, environment, inclusive growth and social sector both during drafting the policy and implementing it.
