'.1. FDI
These three letters stand for forei!n direct inestment# The simplest e+planation of 'DI
would be a direct inestment by a corporation in a commercial enture in another country# $ key
to separatin! this action from inolement in other entures in a forei!n country is that the
business enterprise operates completely outside the economy of the corporation>s home country#
It usually inoles participation in mana!ement/ joint?enture and transfer of technolo!y# There
are three types of 'DI3 inward forei!n direct inestment and outward forei!n direct inestment/
resultin! in a net 'DI inflow @positie or ne!atieA and Bstock of forei!n direct inestmentB#
Direct inestment e+cludes inestment throu!h purchase of share#'DI is distin!uished from
portfolio inestment that does not inole obtainin! a de!ree of control in a company# 'DI in
retail tradin! is not encoura!ed in any form# 'orei!n Direct Inestment in *etail was taken in the
year :CCD# Tradin! is permitted under automatic route with 'DI up to E98 proided it is
primarily limited to e+port actiities/ and the undertakin! is an e+port house"tradin! house"super

FDI IN INDIAS RETAIL SECTOR
$s India is a deelopin! country so India allows the forei!n retail company to enter into India in
:CCD# The E< 'DI approals hae been !ranted by the !oernment and the country has receied
a cash inflow to the tune of about *s 6C9#D< crore#
The scenario at present is3

I E98 'DI in Sin!le 2rand *etail
I No 'DI in %ulti 2rand *etail
They are comin! with the 'DI in India>s retail sector because of some reason which are mention
below3

:# Indian market is a ery lar!e market
;# *etail is the top most !rowin! market in India#
<# The enironmental factor and the political factor is not so bad in India#
E# The ta+ rate is low#
*etailin! is the interface between the producer and the indiidual consumer buyin! for personal
consumption# This e+cludes direct interface between the manufacturers# $ retailer is one who
stocks the producer>s !oods and is inoled in the act of sellin! it to the indiidual consumer/ at
a mar!in of profit# $s such/ retailin! is the last link that connects the indiidual consumer with
the manufacturin! and distribution chain#
The retail industry in India is of late often bein! hailed as one of the sunrise sectors in the
economy# India is the Jsecond most attractie retail destination> !lobally from amon! thirty
emer!ent markets# Kith a contribution of 9<8 to the national )D, and employin!G8 of the
total workforce in the country/ the retail industry is definitely one of the pillars of the Indian
