Recent Trends in FDI

• FDI in specialty stores: Multi-brand organized retail in specialty stores such as Consumer Electronics, Footwear, Furniture and Furnishing etc. are expected to expand and mature in the next few years.(e-zone, Reliance footprint)

• Dominance of unorganized retail: Flexible credit options and convenient shopping locations may help traditional retail to continue its dominance in retail sector.

• Growth in small cities and towns: Stiff competition and saturation of urban markets is expected to drive domestic retail players to tap the potential in small cities

• FDI provides India with stability in inflow of funds, access to international markets, export growth, transfer of technology and skills and improves balance of payments.

• More FDI does not necessarily guarantee high growth rates. The relative emphasis must shift from a broad (scatter shot) approach to one of targeting specific companies in specific sectors. Socially responsible FDI should be encouraged through the development of national and international investment guidelines and regulations.

• FDI is beneficial to India’s growth and India’s growth is beneficial for FDI. India needs to create a talent pool suitable for the investors and it needs to develop infrastructure that will encourage the investors. These steps taken by India to bring FDI will also help India to grow on its own. FDI if monitored and nurtured in such a way that it will bring more skills and resources to India will be mutually beneficial.
