Public| Printed: Yes

This publication provides a historical narrative of the role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in India. After gaining independence, Indian leaders created a plethora of SOEs which acted as instruments of implementing public policy. These SOEs assisted in encouraging economy growth. Since independence, a number of reforms have taken place, aimed at making Indian SOEs even more efficient instruments of public policy implementation. Lessons from India are derived for other countries to apply in their public sectors.
