This dissertation analyses the effects of economic reforms in Indian economy between the years 1980 and 1990. These reforms allowed the economy to grow faster during this period. In the past, India was regarded as an extremely promising country, having the asset of a large textile sector. Nevertheless, all along the British domination the country was submitted to a strong process of deindustrialization, moving back towards an essentially agricultural stage. The industrialization was resumed after the independence, in 1947. From then on, until the middle of the 80s, India was led by an interventionist political standpoint. As a result of this process, India suffered the burden of a long period of slow economic growth, at an average rate of 3. 5 a year up to 1980. Towards the middle of the 80s, the first wave of liberal reforms began. In the following decade, the second wave of reforms was implemented. Both reforms reduced the government interference in the economy and opening the Indian economy to the external sector. India managed to grow at an average rate of 4. 6% a year during the 80s, moving up this figure to 5. 7% in the 90s, and to 6. 7% between 2000 and 2007. These liberal reforms were not the only causes of this development: political and institutional changes also played their part. But to maintain the current performance, it will be necessary to improve the infrastructure, reduced the fiscal deficit, implement labour reforms and modernize the financial sector. Although economic growth demands great Indian governmental efforts, the sustainability of the economic development is possible.
