Foreign investment in India in form of foreign direct investment , portfolio investment , and investment raised on international capital markets increased significantly, from US$ 132 million in 1991–92 to $ 5.3 billion in 1995–96. However, the liberalization did not benefit all parts of India equally, with urban areas benefiting more than rural areas.

As it became evident that the Indian economy was lagging behind its East and Southeast Asian neighbours, the governments of Indira Gandhi and subsequently Rajiv Gandhi began pursuing economic liberalisation.

Reforms in India in the 1990s and 2000s aimed to increase international competitiveness in various sectors, including auto components, telecommunications , software , pharmaceuticals , biotechnology , research and development , and professional services. These reforms included reducing import tariffs, deregulating markets, and lowering taxes, which led to an increase in foreign investment and high economic growth. From 1992 to 2005, foreign investment increased by 316.9%, and India's GDP grew from $ 266 billion in 1991 to $ 2.3 trillion in 2018. According to one study, wages rose on

He also dealt with the depletion of foreign exchange reserves during the crisis with a 19 per cent devaluation of the rupee with respect to the US dollar, a change which sought to make exports cheaper and accordingly provide the necessary foreign exchange reserves. The devaluation made petroleum more expensive to import, so Singh proposed to lower
