This is the new, 2013-14 Edition of the widely accepted textbook (Indian economy paper) for Semester IV, B.Com (Hons.) Delhi University. The book is based on the new guidelines (restructured course), incorporating the latest reading list issued by the department, for the academic year 2013-14.

Provides a comprehensive coverage of Indian economy under 5 sections: Basic Issues in Economic Development; Indian Economy at Independence; Policy Regimes; Growth, Development and Structural Change; and Sectoral Trends and Issues.

The author, Dr. Uma Kapila, has specially designed this book based on the original readings recommended for the new course, many of these being available in her edited books: Indian Economy Since Independence, 24th Edition 2013-14 and Two Decades of Economic Reforms, 2012.

Dr. Kapila has made an effort to keep the language simple without compromising the effectiveness of the argument or diluting the analyses. Additionally, inclusion of important questions and a ‘Glossary' make the book an ‘ideal’ text in its category.
