Yes, according to my opinion, FDI in retail sector will be beneficial for our Indian economy. Foreigner investors will invest money and bring new technology in India and this will help to improve employment rate and standard of life as well as a healthy competition will be developed between indigenous person and foreigner to sales their products and for this, they will work on new technology to improve the product quality in cheaper amount. But with this FDI will put adverse effects on small business. So, FDI should be implemented with strict rules.

Indeed, FDI plays a vital role to surge our economy. Foreign companies not only provide their technology but also creates a level of competition among domestic as well as with other foreign companies. Moreover, there should be a certain limitation that these foreign companies shouldn't influence the domestic market.

For instance, Amazon is totally killing the market of Flipkart. Most of the product are available in Amazon with more discount as compared to Flipkart. There should be proper equilibrium so that Indian companies wouldn't be influenced.

Hi Guys,

Yes, "Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail sector is good for India" because India is a developing country and there is need of these types of process as these are helpful to grow our nation towards best possible manner. With the help of "FDI" not only money comes but also many things come from country to country and each thing becomes useful for the nation whether it be technology or any better idea for manufacturing process. Customers always try to find out better things at lower price and this particular mind set up is possible with the help of "Foreign Direct Investment".

As we all know that unemployment still is the biggest problem of our developing country and FDI is one of the best way to overcome this problem from the stages. Retail sector is that sector which interacts directly with the consumers whether it be on line or off line overall I can say that all benefits are being received by the end user I mean end user is effected directly under this process.

And on base of these types of investments there is a healthy relationship which is improving day in day out among the countries that is strong bone of this business. Because a spread relationship many ways open easily to do multiple things at a time.

Finally, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail sector in India is magic stick through many problems are going to solve from the nation.

Thanks.

According to me, FDI in a retail sector is good for India, because India is developing country and economically not very strong. FDI gives 90% of the investment to Indian government which helps in the development of the different rural areas and also FDI purchase 30% Indian products which help in the import the Indian products.

Hello everyone, today's topic is very much relevant and important in current economic scenario of our country. FDI no doubt plays a vital role behind surge of economy. Now India is one of the e country where retail market is prosperous and evolving day by day. This of course is possible due to FDI in this sector. Now govt allows 100% FDI in multi brand retail as long as the product made in India. By the hand of online shops like Amazon, Flipkart, Bigbusket etc retail market is now being controlled by FDI. It includes food market to electronic market. This is boon for growth. Departmental stores or big shopping mall surely generates employment. Every commodity comes under tax, natuarally when we go to supermarket to bye a product, it may be a pen or a detergent soap or vegetable or fish, we are paying tax for that commodity which in turns boosts the govt income. This is boon for development of a country. But in the other hand small shop owners like grocery to vegetable vendors in neighboring market lose their customers. They can not compete with big investors naturally. Govt should think about them because big investors in retail market in one way or another snatching the bread from their mouth. And growth of a country depends on better living quality and better earning from every section of the society.

Yes, it will boost the growth of Indian economy however it will impact the retail sector in a negative way as it will impact the small retailers and their small shops. People will prefer the retail stores and not the small shops available in the market. The FDI in retail sector will bring unemployment situations in our country as it will mostly effect the small retailers and their small shops they will loose their customers because customers will prefer the retail outlets.

My dear friends. According to my view, FDI in retail sector will definitely improves the Indian economy but is bane for our Indian retail sector businessmen. If we look into retail market in India all are middle class people only. Their retail business will be effected. So our growth should not effect the Indian retailers. Hence some specific measures has to be taken before implementing. Otherwise middle class people will be affected. Thank you.

According to me, FDI inflow is good for any country. It makes country strong economically but it need in such a sector which needs imrovement. Such as core sector, manufacturing, technology based sector. As India is a good market of retail secotor. By allowing FDI in retail chances, the small shop unit may get affected. As small shop provide employment to many pepole. The people also affected.

According to me, FDI is good forIndia as it will bring economic development, more employment opportunities, increase in national income and hence increase in individual income, development of human capital recources and increased productivity. However it should be made sure that FDI is made in core and required sectors. It shouldn't affect the small retail shops by investing in retail stores. Thank you.
