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. *********

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: 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.

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.

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: 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 current debate on allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in India's retail trade primarily focuses on two issues - employment and consumer welfare. The supporters of the move have developed consumer centric arguments while the opponents are more concerned with its adverse impact on employment. In the process, some key areas of concern remain untouched Here, we have identified the following few which deserve due attention of policy makers. These are: (I) Unique characteristics of Indian retail sector. (II) Identification of major beneficiaries of FDI - the push and pull factors (III) Possible impact on marginal producers and work force- the experiences of other countries. (IV) Impact on existing labor laws. (V) Safeguard options available with the government to protect the interest of small producers and suppliers. This paper attempted addressing the above issues on the basis of secondary information gathered from diversified sources. We concluded that unlike in other sectors, FDI in retail will have a much wider impact on the economy. Organized global retail chains will break the traditional symbiotic relationship that exists between small producers and small retailers. In the new retailing format, due to unequal terms of trade in a monopsony like situation, small producers and suppliers are likely to suffer most.

Book excerpt: Retail in India has a good growth potential but this sector is the least evolved with the growth of organized retail being substantially slow. In such a scenario, the government of India in early 2013 allowed 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail. FDI plays an important role in the economic growth of developing countries and is considered a major source of capital infusion that can provide the booster dose to country's economic growth and by liberalizing it in the retail sector and attempt has been made by the Indian government to create an environment to attract more FDI in the country. Being encouraged by this liberalization and country's growing retail boom many multinational companies have also started making a beeline to enter into Indian retail market. However, there is lot of opposition and debate against the government's decision of allowing FDI in retail by local and small retailers. The present paper makes an attempt to understand pros and cons vis-à-vis opportunity and challenges of FDI in Indian retail sector and explore the reason as to why international brands are interested in investing in Indian market.
