35. FDI Policies in India(overview)
FDI Policy permits FDI up to 100 % from foreign/NRI
investor without prior approval in most of the sectors. Known as
the automatic route.
The FDI policies in INDIA are formulated on 4 parameters:
-Increased capital flow.
-Improved technology.
-Management expertise.
-Access to international markets.
Hence 100% inflow was allowed in sectors like Power, Renewable
energy , Agriculture, mining etc.
Also sectors like insurance and defence have a cap of 26% and the
banking sector has cap of 49%.

38. FDI may provide better access to latest technologies for the
local economy.
FDI provides compitition to the local industries which intern
make them compitant. Hence product quality improvement.
The increased flow of FDI in a country has given a major boost
to the country's economy .
Hence measures must be taken in order to ensure that the flow
of FDI in the country to continue to progess in all perspectives.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) capital flows into India have increased dramatically since 1991, when India opened its economy to FDI, and inflows have accelerated since 2000.
New equity capital flows take one of two forms: M&A and greenfield investment. In a merger or acquisition, one firm acquires an equity stake in an existing foreign firm. Greenfield FDI takes place as the establishment of a new overseas affiliate by a parent company. India does not provide FDI statistics that break out M&A vs. greenfield FDI. For most developing countries, however, the greenfield route is more prominent, as there are fewer existing companies available to acquire, as compared with developed countries.
(cumulative inflows Apr’00 to Nov’09)
(cumulative inflows Apr’00 to Nov’09)
The manufacturing sector is estimated to have a US$ 180-billion investment opportunity over the next five years, according to the Investment Commission of India.
FICCI study further observed that India’s share remains negligible in the outward FDI stock of developed countries in the top manufacturing sectors like Chemicals, Automobiles, Food Processing, Electrical & Electronic Equipment, Metals and Machinery Equipment. India has not attracted FDI in a large manner in any of these sectors so far from the developed countries.
India on the other hand India continues to import large amount of these machinery and equipments in the absence of sufficient domestic capacity to meet the demand. India has so far attracted only $283 billion of FDI in industrial machinery sector and $99.7 billion in the Computer Hardware sector.
Besides this, FICCI study pointed-out that the technology transfer and absorption which is one of the major benefits of FDI has not taken place adequately in various manufacturing sectors in India. While there are few Indian manufacturing firms whose technological capabilities are world class, but for many manufacturers especially in SMEs, technological capabilities are limited.
A concrete and comprehensive Action plan to attract FDI in important and strategic areas like Computer Hardware, Capital Goods, Ship Building, Aerospace, Electronics, Medical Devices and Food Processing.
FDI Policy should aim at incentivizing maximum value addition in the country.
Incentivize technology transfer by adopting ‘Swap Technology for Market’ policy as is the case in China.
Rationalizing complex regulatory procedures and reducing delays in the project approvals.
The emergence of India as one of the fastest growing economies in the 1990’s is due to rapid growth of service sector. India has also become an exporter of services.
The liberalization measures post-1990 has changed with foreign investments radically, now portfolio as well as Foreign Direct Investment are not only allowed but also actively encouraged.
In both banking and insurance, foreign investment is permitted subject to specific caps or entry conditions. FDI in media is permitted with varying sector caps. Retail trade is currently restricted to 51% FDI permitted in single brand retail stores and 100% FDI permitted in wholesale cash and carry. Legal services are currently not open to foreign investment.
Subject to these foreign equity conditions, a foreign company can set up a registered company in India and operate under the same laws, rules and regulations as any India-owned company.
India extends National Treatment to foreign investors with absolutely no discrimination against foreign-invested companies registered in India or in favor of domestic ones
The nature of work in the service sector fuelled by FDI is restricted to a few metropolitan centers like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc performing back office jobs – IT and otherwise. Moreover, the kind of work necessary requires an extremely skilled workforce and does not form much of a value add for the common Indian man. These firms behave like isolated export points that have a very weak interrelationship with the economy of the host country, negating the advantage of the FDI.
Some of them also claim that the impact of FDI on the service sector can swing its output both in the positive and the negative direction. This ambiguity in the impact on this sector makes it all the more difficult to frame appropriate precautionary regulations. This we have seen in recent recession, when people were fired from MNC’s without any notice.
FDI in sectors/activities under automatic route does not require any prior approval either by the Government or the RBI.
Foreign direct investment in India is allowed through joint ventures, preferential allotments, capital markets, and financial collaborations. The advantages of foreign direct investment in India are that it has led to transfer of technology, generation of new opportunities for employment, and infrastructure development.
FDI from Mauritius to India is the highest in comparison with all the other countries that invest in India. FDI from Mauritius to India is the highest due to the special treatment of tax that is given in India to the investments that come through Mauritius.
For instance, multinational firms may increase the degree of competition in host-country markets which will force existing inefficient firms to invest more in physical or human capital.
