By 2015, organized retail is expected to have a share of 14-18 percent of the business. There will be a huge growth in the number of people with increasing disposable incomes.

Drivers & Challenges

What Is FDI?
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is direct investment into production in a country by a company in another country, either by buying a company in the target country or by expanding operations of an existing business in that country. FDI in India are approved through two routes: Approval by RBI Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).

FDI IN RETAIL Policy Status

First Phase of Reforms in FDI in Retail: The Government of India has opened up 51% FDI in single brand retail outlets. Foreign retailers are allowed to set up shop in India via the franchisee route. Ex: Marks & Spencer Foreign retailers are allowed outlet if they manufacture products in India or source their goods domestically. Ex: Benetton FDI is also permitted in cash-and-carry outlets, where goods are sold only to those who intend using them for commercial purposes. Ex: Metro Second Phase of Reforms in FDI in Retail: The Government of India is cautiously exploring the avenues for multibrand segment. The objective of Government of India is to ensure that the entry of global retail giants do not displace the existing employment in the unorganized retail business.

FDI Policy with Regard to Retailing in India

FDI up to 100% for cash and carry wholesale trading

and export trading allowed under the automatic route.

FDI up to 51 % with prior Government approval (i.e. FIPB) for retail trade of Single Brand products, subject to Press Note 3 (2006 Series) FDI is not permitted in Multi Brand Retailing in India.

Proposal suggested by CoS

51 per cent limit

It means , FDI in multi brand retail implies that a retail store with a foreign investment can sell multiple brands under one roof. The present FDI regime also allows 100 per cent FDI in wholesale cash and carry.
The minimum capital required for FDI is $100 million out of which 50 per cent should go for back-end infrastructure development. 30 per cent of goods and commodities should be purchased from

local suppliers.

FDI in Single Brand Retail

The Government has not categorically defined the meaning of Single Brand anywhere neither in any of its circulars nor any notifications but it implies that foreign companies would be allowed to sell goods sold internationally under a single brand, viz., Reebok, Nokia, Adidas. Retailing of goods of multiple brands, even if such products were produced by the same manufacturer, would not be allowed.

FDI in MultiBrand Retail The government has also not defined the term Multi Brand. FDI in Multi Brand retail implies that a retail store with a foreign investment can sell multiple brands under one roof.

Rationale behind Allowing FDI in Retail Sector

Spur competition

Adequate flow of capital

Flourish quality standards and consumer expectations.

Lowering inflation

18

Allowing FDI in multi brand retail can bring about

Supply Chain Improvement

Investment in Technology

Manpower and Skill

Benefits to government

Rationale Against FDI in multi brand retail sector

The most important factor which is against allowing FDI in retail sector is that small traders will not be able to compete with the big players and thus cease to exist. Also in a country like India where millions of people

are semi-skilled, it is the retail sector which offers them

source of earning as one can easily open a small shop with a little capital.

Benefits
Generate huge employment

Increased investment in technology

The huge tax revenue generated. The consumer gains from the wide variety of choices and a more diversified basket of prices available under one roof The indirect benefits like better roads, online marketing, expansion of telecom sector etc. Will give a big push to

other sectors like agriculture, small and medium size

enterprises.

Concerns against FDI (Employment by Retail Organized & Unorganized)

Unfair competition and ultimately result in large-scale exit of domestic retailers Large scale displacement of persons employed in the retail sector & No other sector to absorb employment. In the 2011-2012 Union Budget, the government virtually allowed FDI in farm warehousing and cold chains and the result was the emergence of clones of Indian companies registering them-selves massively in the farm sector. This is a threat to the 72 crore people in farm sector whose livelihood might get endangered with the entry of global players.

 FROM VIEW of unorganized market, the kiranas might not be able to bear the price pres-sure exerted by foreign retailers if they start leveraging on their global sourcing capabilities and start slashing their prices

RECENT NEWS UPDATE

Indian Council of Research in International Economic Relations (ICRIER) is conducting a study: The Impact of Organized Retailing on the Unorganized Retail Sector. This was commissioned in March 2007.

This study would cover the effect of organized retailing on small retailers and vendors in the unorganized sector keeping in mind the likely growth in the overall market and effect on employment. ICRIERs Director has said: The survey will be done among consumers, retailers, and malls across India in two phases.

In the first phase, the study will be conducted in 20 cities that already have malls. In the second phase, ICRIER will study the response of small shops and consumers in cities where organized retail is at an early stage. For conducting the studies, ICRIER will be taking the help of Development and Research Services and Technopak. This retail survey is the result of a letter sent by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhis to the Prime Minister. She had expressed concern over the impact of multinational retail chains on small retailers.

RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE MID TERM APPRAISAL OF TENTH PLAN

The retail sector is severely constrained by limited availability of bank finance. The
Government and the RBI need to evolve suitable policies to enable retailers in the organized and unorganized sector to expand and improve efficiencies. A National Commission should be set up to study the problems of the retail sector which should also evolve a clear set of conditionality on foreign retailers on procurement of farm produce, domesticality' manufactured merchandise and imported goods. These conditionalitys must state minimum space, size and other details like construction and storage standards. Entry of foreign players must be gradual with social safeguards so that the effects of labour dislocation can be analyzed and policy fine tuned. Foreign players should initially be allowed only in metros.

Recent Uplift In India for FDI in Retail

Wal-Mart has a joint venture with Bharti Enterprises for cash-and-carry (wholesale) business, which runs the Best Price stores. Many of the foreign brands would come to India if FDI in multi brand retail is permitted which can be a blessing in disguise for the economy.

Some Media Uplifts and Controversy

Conclusion
It can be concluded that FDI in retail sector in India will have mixed implication since After globalization India is the one of the

major country with high economy growth.. It becomes necessary to

make a regulatory body which can put a cap upon foreign investors enabling to enjoy fruits of maximum goodness of fdi. Big Retail still has a long way to go before satisfying the highly diverse needs of the Indian population. As a result, there will be a steady-state where Big Retail will co-exist with Small Retail..fdi willl become a pathway to retail industry in india.
