Explanation

FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) is primarily part of the reform pillar of globalization, although it is also closely linked to liberalization.

Globalization: This integrated the Indian economy with the world economy, facilitating the flow of foreign investment (FDI).

Liberalization: The removal or reduction of restrictions on foreign investment under the FDI policy is part of liberalization.

Economic Reforms of 1991: Under the New Economic Policy (LPG - Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation), India opened its markets to foreign companies, leading to a surge in FDI.
