India got its independence in the year 1947, in which the government of India started conservative policy for FDI which disallowed FDI to invest in India. This was because the traditional thought of losing the countrys independence was one of the major concern for the political leaders of the country. This is the reason for which the country did not progress a lot in this period and the progress was mainly in agricultural sector which did not earn India a large amount of foreign exchange.

1990 91India was suffering financial crisis because of its conservative policy. So the prime minister of India opened the economy of the country for FDIs known as LPG. a)Liberalization b)Privatization c)Globalization This was the period which give boost to Indian economy.

It also helped in reduction of price of the goods which helped the consumers to buy a better product Eg. Electronic goods All service sectors were in perfect boost after the introducing of FDI.

INDIA In India the government is democracy. The labour charges are cheaper. Experts says FDI are more interested in investing in India. In India there is a lot of paper work but the Government to a certain extent has given many opportunities to the FDI.

CHINA In China the government is communist. The labour charges are quite higher than in India. Experts says FDI are not so interested as in investing in India. In China the paper work is reduce to the largest extent but there is lot of Government restrictions.

FDI will give boost to Indian economy if proper uses are made i.e. introducing FDI in those sectors where India has not expanded and is lack of technology. This will increase the competition in the market in which customer would get the customers a good quality product at reasonable price. Introduction of the modern technology, superior quality and designs of infrastructure. Backward area would progress a lot which would benefit India to be a developed country from developing country. Rise in national income would give to rise GDP.
