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.

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. *********

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
