The Case of Maharashtra

Gitanjali Sen

Trade and FDI-Related Reforms in the States, 1991–2007: The Case of Maharashtra by Gitanjali Sen examines how Maharashtra's trade-related policies evolved in response to India's economic reforms between 1991 and 2007.

The study explores changes in state-level taxation, initiatives to attract domestic and foreign investment, export promotion, and business development. It also analyses the changing role of business, the bureaucratic mechanisms involved in implementing policies, the influence of political parties, and the role of the Chief Minister in shaping and implementing trade-related policies.

Two case studies focus on the automobile and auto-components industry and the pharmaceutical industry, illustrating how these factors have influenced the growth and development of these sectors in Maharashtra. The book concludes with policy recommendations intended to help policymakers, investors, and businesses draw lessons from past experience.
