The liberalisation has accelerated the process of concentration and centralisation of capital. Economies of scale, larger plant capacities with larger market size, better technology, mergers and acquisitions, plant closures and redundancies, difficulties faced by small and medium sized businesses due to competition etc. have lead to the higher capital intensities.
