Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, language: English, abstract: ABSTRACT With US President's visit, Planning Commission has given green signal to FDI in multi brand retailing. Only 51 per cent FDI in single-brand retail is permitted in India. Multi brand retailers were only allowed to operate wholesale outlets. 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. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, organized retail sector, single-brand retail, globalization, foreign retailers, Ministry of Commerce, Industrial policy and promotion, FDI's issues and prospects. *********

Book excerpt: Indian retail sector is highly fragmented as compared to the developed as well as the other developing countries. This shows a great potential for the organized retail industry to prosper in India, as the market for the final consumption in India is very large. Retail trade is largely in the hands of private independent owners and distributor's structure for fast moving consumer goods consisting of multiple layers such as carrying and forwarding agents, distributors, stockiest, wholesalers and retailers. Thus, the growth potential for the organized retailer is enormous. The purpose of this paper is to provide an examination of foreign direct investment in retailing.FDI inflow rose by 50 per cent to US $ 20.76 billion during January-August 2011, while the cumulative amount of FDI equity inflows from April 2010 to August 2011 stood at US$ 219.14 billion, according to the latest data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). Services (financial and non- financial), telecom, housing and real estate, construction and power were the sectors that attracted maximum FDI during the first eight months of 2011 while Mauritius, Singapore, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Japan, Germany and the UAE, among others, are the major investors in India.At present the organized retailing in India is witnessing considerable growth. A number of large domestic business groups have entered the retail trade sector and are expanding their operation aggressively. Several format of organized retailing like hyper market; supermarkets and discount stores are being set up by big business groups besides the ongoing proliferation of shopping malls in the metros and other large cities.

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.

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport sector is considered as a spine of trade and economy. It not only facilitates trade by transfer of goods but ensures the goods gets timely delivered at desired point on time, thus bridging gap between the producer, supplier, trader and consumer.The relationship between the producer, transporter and trader is quite intrinsic. It s not just an economic relationship, but also an emotional bonding which ensures timely transfer of goods across the length and breadth of country. In India, the transport sector comprises of large percentage of population who owns and operates transport business for their daily sustenance at very less operating profit. Indian markets are highly dependent on the services provided by the small and medium transporters. The services of small and medium transporters ensure supply of goods at local markets at reasonable price. Government of India, in its advocacy of foreign direct investment in retail sector, stressed that foreign investors will heavily invest in modernization of transport sector in order to facilitate trade. However the realities are strikingly different and if FDI in retail is permitted, it will lead to loss of livelihood of millions.

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian retail industry has experienced high growth over the last decade with a noticeable shift towards organized retailing formats. The industry is moving towards a modern concept of retailing. The size of India's retail market was estimated at US$ 435 billion in 2010. Of this, US$ 414 billion (95 per cent of the market) was traditional retail and US$ 21 billion (5 per cent of the market) was organized retail. India's retail market is expected to grow at 7 percent over the next 10 years, reaching a size of US$ 850 billion 2020. Traditional retail is expected to grow at 5 per cent and reach a size of US$ 650 billion (76 per cent), while organized retails is expected to grow at 25 per cent and reach a size of US$ 200 billion by 2020. Despite encouraging signs, India's retail market remains largely off-limits to large international retailers like Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Opposition to liberalizing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in this sector raises concerns about employment losses, unfair competition resulting in large-scale exit of incumbent domestic retailers and infant industry arguments to protect the organized domestic retail sector that is at a budding stage. Based on international evidence, it is suggested that allowing entry by large international retailers into the Indian market may help tackle inflation especially in food prices. Moreover, technical know-how from foreign firms, such as warehousing technologies and distribution systems can improve supply chain efficiency in India, in particular for agricultural produce. In this paper attempt is made to analyze the direction and impact of FDI on Multi Brand Retailers. The study is based on the secondary data and information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has been placed at first position in the category of countries with the best opportunity for investment in retail sector. The increasing disposable incomes among the Indian middle class and increasing young population have been cited as the main reasons for such attractive optimism. Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for 14 to 15 percent of its GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to be US $450 billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by economic value. India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world, with 1.2 billion people. After months of discussion with various hurdles on 14 September, 2012 the cabinet approved the foreign direct investment in retail in India allowed 100% FDI in Single Brand and 51% FDI in Multiple brand with many preconditions. The minimum FDI limit has been set at $100 million. Half of any investment has to make in infrastructure like cold-storage chains and warehouses. With at least 30% of the goods to be sold will have to source from local producers.On December 5, 2012 in Lok Shaba after long discussion also given approval to FDI in retail as per the cabinet approval with some amendments likes FDI in retail in cities with a population over one million as well as the states of India have the prerogative to accept it and implement it or they can decide to implement it if they so choose. Actual implementation of policy will be within the parameter of state law and regulations.This Research Paper makes a modest attempt of developing an insight as to what are the trends in the Indian Retail Industry and to the benefits and drawbacks of FDI in this sector. It has also focused on whether this policy will be beneficial for the Indian Economy as a whole or not.

Download or read book Retailing in Emerging Markets written by Malobi Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retailing is changing extremely rapidly in the emerging economies, both as a driver of social and economic change, and a consequence of economic development and the rise of consumer societies. Changes that took many decades in Europe or North America are happening at a much greater speed in emerging markets, while regulations continue to be hotly contested in these markets, raising questions about appropriate business strategies for both globalising firms and local contenders. While much has been written about retail in emerging markets, the focus has been primarily on the nature of entry strategies for Western retail companies. This book seeks to capture the impact of both internal and external regulations on retail development and strategy in emerging markets. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the development of retailing in a wide range of emerging economies, and seeks to capture the interplay between both retail policy and retail strategy and the theoretical implications of this on retail development as a whole. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students with an interest in retail development in emerging markets, international business/strategy and international marketing.
Download or read book Should India Open Foreign Direct Investment in Multi brand Retail written by Ashish Kumar Das (M.B.A.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As India grows, driven by its success in information technology and services, there is another revolution waiting to happen in the Retail sector dependent on whether the Government of India can unshackle the various inefficiencies that are keeping this industry constrained. Retail in India is estimated at nearly US$ 400 billion and is growing at a CAGR of 9 percent (AT Kearney GRDI 2010). 96 percent of this sector remains un-organized and constitutes a workforce that have taken to self-employment for daily subsistence due to an overcrowded agriculture sector and lack of employment opportunities for lesser skilled workers in the manufacturing or services sectors. Food and groceries form nearly 60 percent of India's retailing followed by, among others, clothing and footwear at a distant 9 percent of retail. Despite the size of this market, retail and its food supply chain remains unorganized and inefficient. A lack of investment, technology and process control in the agriculture supply chain leads to tremendous waste accounting for nearly 25-30% of fruits and 10% of grains produced. Also, the related and supporting industries for food processing, cold chains and crafts remain nascent. In a grim reflection on the situation, a politician in India recently remarked that Indian consumers buy shoes in air-conditioned stores but food on the streets. Despite this scathing but accurate comment, the debate on whether to organize retail remains unresolved. This debate is further complicated by intellectual and political debate on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), by large international retailers like Wal-Mart, on the fate of small retailers. Interestingly, both these questions have been on the table of policy makers in India for more than 15 years and the Government has so far only allowed some FDI in 'single-brand' retailing and 'wholesale trading' of retail goods. While the incumbent Congress party led Government has voiced many reasons to organize retail and allow FDI in multi-brand retailing, public opinion in response to a discussion paper released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) - Ministry of Commerce & Industry - has been negative. In my quest to decipher whether India should organize and allow FDI in multi-brand retail, I have analyzed all the opinions received by the DIPP. I posit that the data is skewed and not sufficient to form the basis of a policy decision. I have also conducted an extensive literature review on the impact of Wal-Mart on small retailers to understand the potential impact it can have on India. Despite the concerns, I conclude that this change can be managed to India's advantage and that opening of the retail sector to FDI is an imperative, not an option.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India being second most-populous country has immense scope for retail expansion in addition to time urbanization and consumerism increasing. Further, India's GDP has also been growing at fast rate as it continued to be the second fastest growing economy in the world after China. As the income of the country increases, demand for goods also increases because there is positive relation between demand and income. Initially India was conservative regarding FDI; it imposed restriction on foreign companies to limit their share in equity capital of their Indian subsidiaries but over the time Government of India gradually liberalized foreign investment in various sectors. Recently in 2011 India permitted 100% FDI in single brand retail and in 2012, 51% FDI permitted in multi-brand. In this paper we are analyzing the impact of such decision on various sectors like food retail sector, farmers, traditional & employment and food inflation.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades many economies have opened their retail sector to foreign direct investment, yet little is known about possible implications of such liberalization on the economies of developing host countries. Using firm-level data from Romania, this study examines how the presence of global retail chains affects firms in the supplying industries. Applying a difference-in-differences method, the econometric analyses yield the following conclusions. The expansion of global retail chains leads to a significant increase in the total factor productivity in the supplying industries. Their presence in a region increases the total factor productivity of firms in the supplying industries by 15.2 percent and doubling the number of chains leads to a 10.8 percent increase in total factor productivity. However, the expansion benefits larger firms the most and has a much smaller impact on small enterprises. This conclusion is robust to several extensions and specifications, including the instrumental variable approach. These results suggest that the opening of the retail sector to foreign direct investment may stimulate productivity growth in upstream manufacturing and extend our understanding of foreign direct investment in service sectors.
