Q. Who among the following Indian capitalist was not the architect of “Bombay Plan” ?

The correct answer is: a) Dhirubhai Ambani

Explanation: The “Bombay Plan” was a set of economic proposals put forward by a group of leading Indian industrialists in 1944. It was aimed at outlining a strategy for the economic development of India after independence. The plan emphasized the importance of state intervention in economic development, industrialization, and infrastructure building.

The key architects of the Bombay Plan included prominent industrialists such as:
– J. R. D. Tata
– G. D. Birla
– Lala Sri Ram
– Other notable figures like Purshottamdas Thakurdas, Kasturbhai Lalbhai, and Ardeshir Dalal.

Dhirubhai Ambani, however, was not involved in the Bombay Plan. At the time (1944), he was not yet a prominent industrialist, as his rise to fame and success came much later, in the 1970s and 1980s, with the establishment of Reliance Industries.
