The reason being India is the most populous democracy in the world and is the second most populated country with 1.2 billion people. The large working-age population will no doubt translate to an attractive consumer base compared to other economies of the world, placing India as one of the main targets of the 15 global retail players. The demand side factors for the growth of organized retail in India were income growth, urbanization and urban consumption, women's labor force participation and changing lifestyle and convenience and the major supply-side factor was the flow of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the retail sector following market liberalization. In terms of the Retail sector, foreign investment is currently limited to 51 percent in single brand retail stores and 100 percent FDI in wholesale cash and carry. This study has analyzed the advantages of allowing the foreign direct investment in retail sector.

Book excerpt: With Government very well putting the cap on Privatization & Disinvestment, foreign direct investment in trade has developed into the fresh theatre of war flanked by the pro-reform and anti-reform lobbies. Foreign investors are tremendously enthusiastic on charisma in India's retail sector. AT Kearney's 2005 Global Retail Development Index has termed India The most compelling opportunity for retailers. There's sufficient reasons cited for this: the country is becoming richer, close to a quarter of the population is in the 20-34 age group in demand by marketers, and punter expenditure is anticipated to pick up in a major way. Both sides have been taking extreme positions. Those rooting for FDI assure overall opulence if it is permitted. Undeniably, FDI in retail is emerging as a sort of litmus trial to the government's pledge to liberalization, with Prime Minister also supporting advancement on this front. On the other hand, those divergent on the pitch claim it will mop away corner shops in every locality, chuck inhabitants out of jobs & bring unthinkable melancholy. This article develop an insight as to what are the trends in Indian Retail Industry, benefits and drawbacks of FDI in Retail, whether it will be beneficial for economy and finally the challenges in Indian Retailing.

The paper will cover how FDI in retail sector can be introduced, benefits of allowing FDI, how to have control over the global players, and how local retailers can survive in spite of the big players. The retail industry in India is of late often being hailed as one of the sunrise sectors in the economy. Emergence of organized retail sector in India has more to do with increasing purchasing power of buyers and modern supply and logistic management techniques. With a contribution of 14% to the national GDP and employing 7% of the total workforce (only agriculture employs more) in the country, the retail industry is definitely one of the pillars of the Indian economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents an overview of retail trade in India in the wake of the country's new policy that will allow foreign capital in multi-band retailing. It discusses various potential benefits and costs of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the retail sector, particularly in terms of its effects on traditional retailers, employment, consumers, farmers, and local manufacturers. It argues that given somewhat slower growth projection for the Indian economy during the next decade, various structural issues including inadequate infrastructure and a lack of affordable real estate, and the prevalent structure of the agricultural markets, it is unlikely that all the potential benefits and costs will be realised to heir fullest extent, at least in the foreseeable future. The economic dynamics and the political process will play an important role in determining the outcomes of this move to allow FDI in the retail sector and will ultimately determine the effects on various stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian retail industry is a sunrise sector and many global players are willing to enter this. Indian retail industry is one of the pillars of the Indian Economy. Since 1991, when the policy of the liberalization was introduced by the Indian Government, FDI has been a highly controversial issue. From the last 3-4 years our Government is talking about the FDI in retail sector as there are some growth drivers for this sector. But, if the Government decides to open up the doors for FDI in this sector then some consequences will be there. No doubt that FDI plays a very important role in the development of any economy but this development always has two aspects i.e. positive and negative. Experiences of FDI in retail of various countries like China, Russia, Thailand, etc. have been good. We are of the opinion that FDI should be allowed in retail sector in a phased manner but before that all the issues pertaining to this must be resolved.

Book excerpt: The Indian retail industry is termed as a sunrise sector with huge growth potential. According to the Investment Commission of India, the retail sector is expected to grow almost three times its current levels to $660 billion by 2015. The Ernst & Young's 2012 India Attractiveness Survey says investors view India as an attractive investment destination. The recent change in government policy to allow FDI in Multi-brand retail can be seen as an important reform to revive the economy and mitigate inflation. Yet FDI in retailing remains a widely debated and heated issue in India's rather volatile economic and political environment. From street/cart retailers working on pavements/roadsides and small family run businesses to international brands such as Rolex and Nike, the retail market in India is vibrant, colourful and highly fragmented. According to the non-government organizations, the domestic organized retail sector might not be competitive enough to tackle international players. Many observers are of the view that FDI will drain out the country's share of revenue to foreign countries. Many of the small business owners and workers from other functional areas may lose their jobs, as lots of people are into unorganized retail business such as Kirana stores, paan-beedi shops, weekly haats and bazaars. In this context, the present paper attempts to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the influx of foreign direct investment in the Indian retail industry. It defines FDI, delves upon the FDI policy of India, provides an overview of the Indian Retail Industry, defines Single-Brand and Multi-Brand Retail Practices Moreover, with the latest move of the government to allow FDI in the multiband retailing sector, the paper analyses the effects of these changes on various stakeholders like farmers and agro-food sector. The researcher has adopted analytical, descriptive and comparative methodology for this paper; reliance has been placed on books, journals, newspapers and online databases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: With the onset of reforms to liberalise the Indian economy in July of 1991, a new chapter has dawned for India and her billion plus population. This period of economic transition has had a tremendous impact on the overall economic development of almost all major sectors of the economy, and its effects over the last decade can hardly be overlooked. Besides, it also marks the advent of the real integration of the Indian economy into the global economy. This era of reforms has also ushered in a remarkable change in the Indian mindset, as it deviates from the traditional values held since Independence in 1947, such as self reliance and socialistic policies of economic development, which mainly due to the inward looking restrictive form of governance, resulted in the isolation, overall backwardness and inefficiency of the economy, amongst a host of other problems. This, despite the fact that India has always had the potential to be on the fast track to prosperity. Now that India is in the process of restructuring her economy, with aspirations of elevating herself from her present desolate position in the world, the need to speed up her economic development is even more imperative. And having witnessed the positive role that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played in the rapid economic growth of most of the Southeast Asian countries and most notably China, India has embarked on an ambitious plan to emulate the successes of her neighbours to the east and is trying to sell herself as a safe and profitable destination for FDI. The main objective of this thesis is to show whether India is really that attractive as a host to FDI and whether she is likely to succeed in her endeavour to be able to use FDI as a tool to accelerate her economic growth. In order to achieve this task, starting with the liberalisation process, there will be a brief description of the economic development of India since Independence and its role in leading to the dire economic situation, which ultimately culminated in the initiation of reforms to open up the economy to foreign investors and competition, whereby the reforms relating, directly and indirectly, to FDI will be closely described. Then there will be a brief explanation of the theoretical background of FDI, i.e. what it exactly means and the driving forces behind it, whereby concentrating mainly on the eclectic theory and then applying it to the prevailing situation in India by concentrating [...]
