Hello friends, in my point of view the F.D.I means foreign direct investment would be done in our India because when a foreign industry come in India to setup their branch in India first of all they buy a land and they pay a tax to government this is the first reason, then they build the infrastructure of their industry so they can hire a builder and builder also earn money from them this is the third reason, then they would buy a machine from the machinery store so the store will also earn money this is the fourth reason, they employee workers which help them too producing goods so our people also get job by them this is the fifth reason, so all these reasons are true and valid which I gave in above lines. So, in my opinion, F.D.I. (foreign direct investment) must be done in India. So thank you for reading my points.

Hello everyone,
I want to share my opinion on the increase of FDI. According to me, it has positive as well as negative sides both.
It gives a positive effect on multinational companies in India. They can expand their business also employment opportunities will increase because of it. Direct foreign capital increase the dollar flow in India which may cause of development.
But on the other side, it gives a negative effect on small and medium businesses. They can't stand up against multinational companies. As in India most of the people are belong to small and medium businesses they will suffer a lot.
To draw a conclusion I think an increase in FDI is needed but it has to be utilized properly keeping in mind of small and medium businesses. As most of the GDP is produced by them.
Thank you.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the retail sector can be highly beneficial for India, but it also has its challenges. On the positive side, FDI brings in much-needed capital, modern technology, and global best practices that can boost the efficiency and competitiveness of the Indian retail market. It creates employment opportunities, improves supply chain infrastructure, and offers consumers a wider variety of quality products at better prices.
However, critics argue that it may hurt small local retailers and Kirana stores, leading to job losses and market monopolies by big foreign players. Therefore, while FDI in retail can drive growth and modernization, it should be implemented with strong regulations to protect the interests of small businesses and ensure inclusive development.

As per my perception it's totally unjustified to allow foreign direct investment even in retail sector because it can cease the chances of indigenous company to grow. And also one of the most important thing is that India will have a smooth economy when it's export would exceed import. Further I would like to correlate this incident with our history.
I would like to take a flash back to our history that British had also come in India in disguise of investors but later on they captured India deceitfully and ruled over India. So keeping in mind old incidents I would like to emphasise that some restrictions should be imposed on foreigners in context of their investment in retail sector. Am not saying that FDI is not a good thing but there should be some restrictions over it.

GOOD EVENING FRIENDS,
From my end, FDI helps in the economic development of the host country (where the investment is being made).
For origin and host countries, FDI provides access to new technologies, products, skills and organizational and management strategies.
Employment increases in the host country.
Origin country (the country which makes the investment) also develops economically.
Competition increases. So that, with the competitive spirit, every company improves to its best.
Through FDI in production companies, the price reduction is possible.
FDI is a boon for the small companies to become more actively involved in international business activities.
Agriculture related people get the good price for their goods as middle men will be eliminated.

Hai, good evening everyone. Now my topic is FDI. We can say India definitely needs FDI because compared to USA we are back from point of view of economy so we will increase our economy by promoting foreign investors into India by this we can increase our employment opportunities in turn of increase our lifestyles and increasing buy and selling activities. If we achieve all above points we can indirectly get increase Indian currency and there by reduces the poor people in India and give competition to developed countries. So finally I conclude accordingly above discussion if India has adopted this definitely in future India become in one of the developed countries in the world according to my point of view thank you for given this opportunity.

With the FDI in the retail sector, small companies and merchants will suffer a lot.

Technological dependence on foreign technology sources.

Hello everyone, its a very good topic to be discussed I want to say that FDI in retail sector is good for developing country because it will help to generate tax revenue which can be utilized in other sector and at the same time it will increase employment opportunities and people will get variety of product at less price and the important part is that farmer will be benefited by this because of the elimination of middlemen from retailer to farmer the organisation will buy product direct from framers and they will get fair price for their product but at the same time the government must put certain restriction and proper strategy to support farmers and poor people like the benefit should not be limited to big organisation.

I am completely positive with FDI (foreign direct investment) it is good India if looking up on retail market there are lots of brands are out of India and they dealing good business with Indian customers one question is that how they've attracted our customers because they giving better price with better products which every customer like and second thing is that whatever we buy we gave tax to government whether it is Indian product Or foreign product if we are considering our economy points of view it helps us!
Second thing is that we knew which one is better product with better price for example the cost of Coca-Cola is less than 1 rupee and selling price of product is 9 or 10 so it will directly impact on USA economy.
