There were many causes of planning in India meeting with limited success like:
  1. Performance of many public sector enterprises were far from satisfactory. They were at times unduly protected. This led to the birth of inefficient monopolies which inflicted more harm than good.
  2. Domestic producers, in the name of 'self-reliance', were protected against the foreign competition.
  3. The prolonged protection to domestic producers as a matter of fact, killed their incentive to grow by way of upgrading and modernising their products.
  4. Excessive government regulation came in the way of entrepreneurship.
  5. Inefficient functioning of the PSU incurred huge losses, which lead to a drain on the nation's limited resources and failure of planning to some extent.
