Partially, FDI in the retail sector is good, Our country is developing the country, so it needs some Foreign investment. To make our economic status good, we can invest it. But human talents are hidden when there is a foreign investment, Our country's people talents are unique, by using the foreign products, we get addicted to their brands. Our country must use only our products, it is proud for all of us. Economic status is not as much as, so we slightly depend on foreign investments. We must not become their slaves, we must be very innovative, and keep on inventing new ideas, stop using foreign products. Thank you.

In my point of view, bringing FDI up to a certain extent will no doubt boost the competitive market in India as it will bring more potential among companies for better quality and competition makes them grow faster and thus generate more employment which is necessary for a developing country like India. But it should have a limit for this because 100% FDI will affect the middle-income people and small businessman which is of large percentage in India and will increase the gap between rich and poor.
So in my conclusion, FDI is good if it hasn't any adverse effect on the small businessman and low-income people.

Hi friends.
As per my opinion, everything has pros and cons.
So positive impact of FDI:
A) It will surely boost the economy.
B) it will generate the employment but only in MNC;s because the investment will not be done in the unorganized sectors.
C) It will make the India a huge market in terms in every feild.
Cons-.
A) Generate more unemployment because it leads the downfall of unorganized companies.
B) threat to startups because majority investment will be done in established companies.
C) India market will lose its value.
Suggestion:
A) some part of FDI should be in unorganized sector and startups.

FDI is must for a developing country like India. With the variation in economic growth rate and increase and decrease in inflation rate, FDI's play a major role in providing stability to the economy. Foreign investments give a boost to the economy by increasing cash flow in the economy. Industries are set up, expansion of previous industries takes place and production are increased meeting the increasing demand and hence by controlling the inflation of the country. SEZ are provided and introduction of GST gives liberty, transparency, and ease to do a business becoming magnet for foreign investment.

Hello Everyone.
In my opinion, FDI will surely help increase employment opportunities, And GDP will also increase. But the small-scale business will get affected. The company will start manufacturing units in India And export the products to different parts of the world.
By which there will be a hike in the price of the products they sell. Because of the hike in the raw material, Small-scale businesses will face tough competition And loss.
Because of the FDI, We cannot call the products made in India. Only the products are made in India, But still, the company is owned by a foreign company.

Hi guys,
FDI helps to develop our country. For ex: If foreign investor like to invest in India then our country will grow in economy. But if our country grown more than US then obliviously the investor started to think to borrow money from India and invest in their home country. Another ex: China products, the people are more attracted on China products because of packing, cost, features of the products, etc. This is not helping to our country economy to grow.
Finally, India should not depend only on one thing like FDI. If FDI is not there then choose other option to develop our country.

In our point of view, FDI is good for growing up the economy. Foreign companies can invest money in India establishing it branches, it will create a huge employment opportunity as well as make an own indigenous product. Hence, it used to reduce the import from other foreign countries and increase the export. Our country GDP increase double times compared with past growth. The retailer is buying a product directly through manufacturer company with cheaper price. It will increase the making in India product with higher quality. We are ready to confront combat among the developed countries.

Yes, FDI is good for India why because it will boost our economy, as well as the employment opportunities, will increase. When people get employed automatically he is going to buy some goods in the market, so indirectly the govt is collecting tax from the customers. When the govt receive tax properly automatically the GDP will grow. At the same time, the competition will increase among sellers and they produce quality goods with the cheapest price. Mainly the technology will transfer from one country to another with this we can utilize world class infrastructure at the optimum level.

FDI in India is not a good thing. Because we have independence from before 200 years only. We did not utilize our skills and talents after. Indians are more talented than foreigners. First government of India should give full support Indian investors only. Because FDI has come, we are never owners. Every time we are employees only. After several years also we can't invest. We are directly saying to foreign countries that, we are slaves. Come and rule us. So first govt of India create an Indian investor's supportive market. Then only we develop. The nation will be developed.

Yes, it is good for India but not completely. Good because foreign countries invest in India which promotes good relation between India and the investing country. Unemployment decreases as it creates job opportunities for people. Our country tries to increase th equality of their products in order to compete with the foreign country our currecncy strength is also increaed as compared to other nations it also helps in technological advancement as the foreign countries provide a strategy for that. Bad because the small scale industries of India get affected by fdi.
