India is a growing market and in order to sustain growth, we need capital. Unfortunately, India does not have the domestic capital base required to sustain it's growth, therefore, we need FDI.

That being said there is also the major risk of market disruption based on certain global factors. After the recent rate hike by the FED, it is forecasted that foreign investors will be more willing to withdraw their money from emerging markets and invest it in safe US treasury bonds. This could cause the Indian market to fall.

FDI is basically the investment done by the parent company in the host country. FDI is more secure way of raising capital. More of FDI in India will eventually help the country to grow at a rapid pace. It will boost the economic growth within the country and will establish globalization in a better way than usual. GDP will also improve and hence the national income. FDI in every aspect will help the country to grow. At beginning, it might affect the small businesses, rural areas in country but in a long run it is beneficial for the country.

FDI is a good for any nation. Because our country is a developing country. If foreign country will make their company here it will be more useful for development in all the fields. Because of FDI we got new technology from other country just like metro. Without FDI we will lose much chances of development.

No, according to me, it will make rich more rich and poor (middle class) to its worst.

And some are praising the side which is minority of India its gd for minority but majority of India is adversely affected so I am against it.

As far as I consider, FDI is good for any country because it provides the opportunity to familiar with various kind of technology of world.

Yes, it causes many small businessmen, retailer etc would face many difficulties in short span, but beyond that the bright future is waiting for every people of India. It will help in increase employment, foreign trade, growth rate of economy, GDP and also will help to prevent inflation.

Hai, according to my point, FDI is necessary for India growth. The growth will come from increased employment. As we know if we have more foreign investors automatically employment goes raises. But at the same time, other small business unit may lose their profits. Although it is correct way to increase our economic growth and people lifestyle up to some extent. Due to this, the rupee value will be increased from day to day and strictly I can it creates a lot of opportunities for peoples both educated and noneducated. Finally, I have to conclude it. FDI may make India be like the USA and it may increases in Port and export theirs by increasing our Indian economy. Thank you for given wonderful opportunity.

FDI in Indian retail sector is good because if country has to develop then it is must to invest in outsider and allow outsiders to invest in our country. With this step, the economy of India will grow. This is an illusion that if outsiders setup their company in India then people of India will be unemployed, but its not true as this step will give lots of opportunity to the people. When they setup the company, they will also need people to work.

FDI plays a major role in the development of a developing country. India is a country with the large population. Poverty, unemployment are some major problems and l think, through FDI, it would be beneficial for us to eradicate such problems. Also through FDI, new technologies, better foreign relationship are maintained. So, its imp to go in favour of FDI. THANKS.

Yes, FDI in Retail Sector good for India. FDI is necessary for Indian economy growth. It will help to generate revenue taxes as well. Huge competition in market will lessen price of products so the customers will get good products in cheaper price.

On the other hand Mom and Pop stores will also face challanges which are not good for those who are unable to afford to visit malls, adding to that who often buys products on credit from mom and pop stores.

On the FDI regard I reckoned that FDI policy is good for India but it will be totally absurd to convey that we should not appreciate FDI because at the end of the day FDI will revamp or inject competition in the market which will apparently help out the small business to compete and upto the level of the foreign company. But on the flip side of this policy, there should not be totally 100% liberal for this policy in India because it will drastically effect the small business in India and we will be totally depended on the foreign company which I fill is not a good sign for the developing country like India.

So, in nutshell what I want to urge is that there should be a balance between the FDI investment which will eventually help the economy of our country to grow in balance way abreast injection fresh technologies in the economy and helping the small business to upgrade them-self to the level of the foreign company.
