Therefore, the paper will focus on the three mechanism of equity, technological innovation and talents, and market competition that affect the performance of Indian state-owned enterprises to make relevant description. Through the review of this paper, the overall direction of India's future state-owned enterprise reform is obtained. At the same time, through the analysis of this paper, it can also provide a realistic reference for the relevant state-owned enterprises in China, a developing country also facing the reform problems of state-owned enterprises.
