 a minimum of $100 million by the foreign investments.

 50% of total to be invested in backend infrastructure.

 30% of the products to be procured from small scale
industries.
Factors for 100% FDI in single brand retail


 Products should be sold under same brand name
internationally.

Products retailing will cover only those products that are
branded during manufacturing.

Foreign investor should be the owner of the brand.
Advantages

India- 2nd most preferable destination for foreign investors
after china

 create 10m jobs and billions of dollar in investment during the
next 3 years.

 Jobs in the agro and food processing industries.

 It would help Indian retailers to get much needed funds for
business expansion.
FDI policy does not allow foreign companies to open multi-brand
retail stores

Global retailers have opted for the cash-and-carry route to
establish their presence.

 India currently allows 100 per cent foreign direct investment in
single-brand retail and 100 per cent in the cash-and-carry
segment, and 51 in multi brand
WAL-MART STORES
Branded as Walmart since 2008 and Wal-Mart before then, is an

8,500 stores in 15 countries, under 55 different names.

as BEST PRICE.

 Walmart's investments outside North America have had mixed results,
its operations in the U K, S A and China are highly successful,ventures
in Germany and S K were unsuccessful
In 2007, Bharti Retail and Walmart set up a JV company, Bharti
Walmart, to run supply chain and sourcing for Bharti's Easy Day
stores. Walmart also runs 14 wholesale cash-and-carry stores
called Best Price in India
CARREFOUR

supermarket
French retailer Carrefour, which has been rather silent after its first
cash and carry outlet opened in India (in Delhi) in December 2010, has
a second store (in Jaipur) in the country now.


India is the only country in Asia where Carrefour has cash and carry
outlets. The €90 billion group has around 150 cash and carry outlets,
all — save the one in India — located outside Asia.
TESCO
Is a global grocery and general merchandise retailer
headquartered in United Kingdom

It is the third-largest retailer in the world measured by revenues

Second-largest measured by profits (after Wal-Mart).

America and is the grocery market leader in the UK, Malaysia,
the Republic of Ireland and Thailand.
Tesco has had a limited presence in India with a service centre
in Bangalore, and outsourcing.

However, in 2008 Tesco announced their intention to invest an
initial £60m ($115m) to open a wholesale cash-and-carry business
based in Mumbai with the assistance of the Tata Group]
METRO
Is not keen on opening multi-brand retail stores

In india 8 stores now

Metro is looking at opening as many as 50 cash and carry stores
across the country in the next four to five years.

Metro is likely to spend around Rs 3,500 crore over this period
on expansion, considering that its per store investment works
out to around Rs 60 crore to Rs 70 crore.
PANTALOON RETAIL:

It is headquartered in Mumbai

450 stores across the country employing more than 18,000
people.

 It can boast of launching the first hypermarket Big Bazaar in
India in 2001

Airport Retailing

products at the lowest prices

Trent plans to open 27 more stores across its retail formats adding
1.5 mn sq ft of space in the next 12 DLF malls
RPG GROUP:

Foodworld stores in 1996 and then formed an alliance with Dairy
farm International and launched health & glow) outlets.

RPG has Spencer’s Hyper, Super, Daily and Express formats and
Music World stores across the country.
BHARTI-WALMART

They have signed a 50:50 percent joint venture agreement with
Walmart. Wal-Mart will do the cash & carry while Bharti will do
the front-end.


 RELIANCE
India’s most ambitious retail plans are by reliance, with
investments to the tune of Rs. 30,000 cr.

There are already more than 300 Reliance Fresh stores and the
first Reliance Mart Hypermart.
Reliance MART, Reliance SUPER, Reliance FRESH, Reliance
Footprint, Reliance Digital, Reliance Jewellery, Reliance
Trends
AV BIRLA GROUP


They own brands like Louis Phillipe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly,
Peter England,

The acquisition of Trinethra (food & grocery) chain in the south
has moved their tally to 400 stores in the country.

Their “More” range supermarkets are slated to open at India
The retail industry is divided into organised and unorganised
sectors.

Rapid change with is being planned by several Indian
and multinational companies in the next 5 years.

How Beneficial Is Foreign Direct
  Investment for Developing Countries?
FDI provides an inflow of foreign capital and funds
Foreign investment increases local productivity growth
Regard it as the private capital inflow of choice
The case for free capital flows
FDI allows the transfer of technology
Recipients of FDI often gain employee training
Contribute to corporate tax revenues in the host country
FDI versus other flows
CONCLUSION

Both economic theory and recent empirical evidence
suggest that FDI has a beneficial impact on developing
host countries. But recent work also points to some
potential risks. Policy recommendations for developing
countries should focus on improving the investment
climate for all kinds of capital, domestic as well as
foreign.
