कोणत्या औद्योगिक धोरणात MRTP कायदा रद्द करण्यात आला ?

The correct answer is Option D (Industrial Policy, 1991).

Key Points:
• The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) Act was enacted in 1969 based on the recommendations of the Monopolies Inquiry Commission (Subimal Dutt Committee) and came into force in 1970.
• Under the MRTP Act, companies having assets above a certain threshold (initially ₹20 crore, raised to ₹100 crore in 1985) required prior government approval for establishment, expansion, mergers, and amalgamations.
• The historic Industrial Policy of 1991 (औद्योगिक धोरण, १९९१) abolished the threshold asset limit on MRTP companies, effectively removing the pre-entry restrictions on large business houses to foster free enterprise and competition.
• Later, based on the Raghavan Committee recommendations, the MRTP Act was formally replaced by the Competition Act, 2002, and the Competition Commission of India (CCI) took over from the MRTP Commission in 2009.
• The official MPSC final answer key confirms Option 4 (Industrial Policy, 1991).
• Key Takeaway: The pre-entry restrictions and asset limits of the MRTP Act were abolished under the Industrial Policy of 1991.
