FDI invests in India is good. It has some disadvantages also but it has more advantages in compare to disadvantages.

1) It increases the employment by establishing plants in India.

2) it also helps to improve technology.

3) It also causes competition among industries/ companies, due to which customers get better quality of things at a reasonable price.

4) It will increase the value of Indian currency.

Hi guys, myself Suvam, I think FDI in Retail sector is good for India as due to FDI our many objectives can be fulfilled.

1: Increase in employment level.

2: Improvement in quality.

3: Reduction of price with increasing competition.

4: New era technologies.

5: Increase in the investment in R&D.

6: INCREASE IN FOREIGN RESERVE.

SO IF WE CAN ACHIEVE MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES WITH A SINGLE SHOT WHY NOT?

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.

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.

FDI is a good opportunity for companies that are at low level of growth. Under the scheme, foreign companies or governments invest in another company to expand their business. The place where expansion is taking place can help to develop new skills. This development is only favorable if they tie up with Indian Companies. This would lead to mutual growth. Increase employment opportunities.

I think no it's not good, as this type of investment is affecting the middle-class business people severely. The opportunity for less educated people to start a small business is directly snatched away resulting into the affecting of GDP. The hard work of small towns people in retail sector become competitive with the big companies through their direct investment in retail sector.

Hi.

I think there is pros and cons for every decision that is taken. One way customer and the government would definitely be benefitted by its arrival but on the other hand, it would be an obstacle for the young generation who wants to become entrepreneurs of their own as building empires like these large giants will require years of hard work and huge manpower support.

In my view, where FDI help to grow the economy of country where it keeps also few bad effect on it because when all the production and supply will be done by multi brand unit and that will demolish local shopkeeper and small businessman and we rest only consumer and servant nobody would be able to install any small biz. Small biz can not stand before multi brand market.

As much I know about FDI, it will completely affect our country in both terms, due to FDI job opportunities will be generated, govt will get tax, due to that company economy will be a move towards growth. Consumers will get a good quality product like healthy living. In the era of globalization, we should welcome FDI. If we welcome something, so someone will welcome us.

Hello everyone.

Yes. Absolutely foreign direct investment in retail sector is good for India. It provides us new job opportunities and we could do best in business. To be specific if multinational company like wallmat, spencer k mart, dmart are willing to invest, then surely it is beneficial for us. I think Indian should take advantage of fdi and show economic growth.
