According to me, there should be FDI but up to some extent. As the population of India is still living below poverty line and their livelihood depend on small scale industry and Kirana stores and if we allow FDI than obviously, they are going to have supermarkets and malls and people of India will prefer to go to these stores where they can get more choice and better offers. So, FDI should be up to some extent only to protect all the 3 sectors of the society and to maintain the balance between the poor and rich people.

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.

Hello.
A good day to all of you.
All of you said very well.
But According to me, everything should be in a balanced manner. If FDI takes more place in India, it will not prove good for Indian retailers. Their product would not be sale and it results bad for Indian product.
Although the Indian product price is higher than that of others but Indian product life is more than foreign product.
We can invest good through Indian product sales n it will also help to improve our economic conditions also.

According to me, FDI in all sectors is the major cause of growing disparity in India. There must be the constraint in certain fields such as agriculture, domestic groceries and pharmaceuticals up to 100%. Everyone must have equal opportunity to avail the benefits of FDI. Moreover, it must not be encouraged to the full extent in any area. Any foreign company must not overshadow our Indian company. It may give a cut-throat competition to Indian market but must not have the potential to uproot it.

Hello everyone, FDI in retail sector brings a lot of challenges such like consumer have too much option also we aware too much new brands and a variety of products.
A simple solution that small investor merge together give the competition.
Also India developing country they need it because poor people do not use hike price product Brings of FDI price of the good quality product affordable for everyone. We all Know that population in India for average and low-income groups are too high.

I would like to go against full direct investment. Example take KTM - Bajaj joint venture. When we buy a bike a percentage of profit goes to Bajaj comparing to fully international company. Also when we work in FDI companies they only need to pay less wage (comparison with international wages) hence they are able to produce product at least cost getting profit. Ultimately they are only profiting. But when we take joint venture we have some profit and also control over company.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes, I think FDI in retail sector is good for our country because it has many benefits it increases the GDP It makes the items of same quality and same brand to be available at low prices and it helps to grow India with greater pace but the most important thing is that it generates huge employment and we know that our population is increasing very rapidly so we have to create employment at much faster rate to decrease the unemployment from our country and FDI will help us in that.

Hi friends, good afternoon.
The word FDI sound interesting to some people because they are considering few good point about that but we should talk about consequences of FDI too. It will help our country to generate employment at the same time increasing the burden on Indian companies. As we know India youth population is highest in all but in quantity not in quality, so FDI going to help us to train and to make our quantity skill so to make India house of quantity and quality.

FFDI is acknowledged as one of the most effective methods to stimulate economic progress and extend business operations internationally. It facilitates increased customer satisfaction by offering an expanded range of high-quality products and a diverse selection.
Nonetheless, in culturally rich countries like India, stepping into foreign markets may cause a gradual erosion of traditional values and practices, as foreign retail influences may gradually overshadow local customs.

Hello everyone. FDI ie. Foreign direct investment is investing in a country by the companies of foreign country. In my opinion, FDI in retail sector is beneficial. As it increases the GDP of our country, give more employment opportunities to people of the country, make the market more competitive so the companies of our country also make its performance better, give consumers more choices from all over the world at competitive prices, raise the standard of living of people.
