This exploration delves into the evolution of governing frameworks influencing private capital in India, beginning with pre-independence laws and advancing to post-1991 reforms. It assesses critical legislation, including the Constitution (1950), IDR Act (1951), IPR (1956), and MRTP Act (1969), highlighting their impact on economic regulation and private ownership. The discussion also covers the emergence of policies fostering a level playing field through mechanisms like the single window approach, economic regulation comparisons between MRTP and Competition Acts, and market dominance issues, including abuse of market power and cartel activities.
