The Bombay Plan, formulated in 1944 by a group of prominent Indian industrialists, proposed a 15-year plan for India’s economic development. It advocated for significant state intervention in the economy, including investment in industries and infrastructure. While the idea of planning was already present within the national movement (e.g., National Planning Committee under Nehru, 1938), the Bombay Plan was a concrete and influential blueprint that demonstrated broad elite consensus on the necessity of planning for rapid industrialization after independence.
