14. Introduction
In simple words, FDI means the capital
inflows from abroad i.e. invested in or
to enhance the production capacity of
the economy. The FDI Policy is governed
by the Government of India and with the
provision of Foreign Exchange
Management Act (FEMA) 1999
15. Entry Options for Foreign Players prior to FDI Policy
15
Although prior to Jan 24, 2006, FDI was not authorized in retailing, most
general players had been operating in the country. Some entrance routes used
by investors have been explained below:-
Franchise Agreements
In franchising and commission agents’
services, FDI (unless otherwise
prohibited) is allowed with the
approval of the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) under the Foreign Exchange
Management Act.
Strategic Licensing Agreements
Some foreign brands
give exclusive licences
and distribution rights to
Indian companies.
Manufacturing and Wholly
Owned Subsidiaries.
The foreign brands such as Nike,
Reebok, Adidas, etc. that have wholly-
owned subsidiaries in manufacturing
are treated as Indian companies and are,
therefore, allowed to do retail.
17. 17
These is 100% FDI is allowed in
wholesale trading which involves
building of a large distribution
infrastructure to assist local
manufacturers. The wholesaler
deals only with smaller retailers
and not Consumers.
On 7 December 2012, the Federal
Government of India
allowed 51% FDI in multi-brand
retail in India. FDI in Multi Brand
retail implies that a retail store
with a foreign investment can sell
multiple brands under one roof.
In January 2012, India approved reforms for single-brand
stores welcoming anyone in the world to innovate
in Indian retail market with 100% ownership Products should
be sold under the same brand internationally. Any addition
to product categories to be sold under “single-brand”
would require fresh approval from the government.

Such foreign companies invest more in machinery and
intellectual property than in wages of the local people;

permitted under Indian law.
Government of India has allowed FDI in retail of specific brand of
products.
foreign companies in certain categories can sell products through their
own retail shops in the country.
FDI in retail trade has forced the wholesalers and food processors to
improve, raised exports, and triggered growth by outsourcing supplies

At present the organized retail penetration is 7
percent and its expected to reach 10 percent
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is another major
step that has been taken in terms of retailing.
There has been a great penetration of the bigger
brands in smaller cities and people of India are
able to enjoy the top MNC brands that previously
were not in their reach.
Foreign Direct Investment is another vital reason
for increasing consumerism. With the
liberalization of FDI, there will be a hike in
investments pumped in by major companies.
22. E- Retailing
Electronic retailing is the sale of goods and
services through the Internet. E-retailing can
include business-to-business (B2B) and
business-to-consumer (B2C) sales of products
and services. Amazon.com (AMZN) is by far

The Indian retail sector is highly fragmented
with 97 per cent of its business being run by
the unorganized retailers.
The FDI in retail industry is likely to create
around 10 million jobs in the span of 10
years.
Retail sector is the largest source of
employment after agriculture, and has deep
penetration into rural India generating more
than 12% GDP of India.
Retail industry can improve the condition of
agriculture sector because when goods are
purchased by these retailers directly from the
farmers, will reduce the price of vegetables
and other commodities as well.
Now it’s the requirements of the time that
India should allow FDI in all segments of
the retailing in India.
