Introduction
Retail is a sunrise sector in the Indian business world. In
the past few years, Indian has seen a revolution in the
retail sector. More and more foreign retailers are now
eyeing India as a perfect investment destination for
retail ventures. Not only from the investment side , but
also from the employment angle as it represents a
large employment opportunity for people with diverse
skill set
Indian retail scenario
• The contribution of retail industry to India ‘s
GDP is more than 13%
• Indian retail industry spreads over more than
6 million outlets (2.6 million urban and 3.6
million in rural)
continue
• Just over 8 percent Indian population is engaged in
retailing (compared to 20 percent in the united
states
• An FDI confidence index survey done by AT Kerney ,
showed that the retail industry is one of the most
attractive sector for FDI in India and if allowed,
foreign retain chain would make great impact on
Indian retailing .
Definition of Retailing
Retailing consists of all business activities that
involve selling goods and services to the final
customer for personal/ family and household
use without any resale intention.
Division of Retail Industry
The retail industry is mainly divided into:
• Organized retailing
• Unorganized retailing
Organized retailing
IT refers to trading activities undertaken by
licensed retailers, that is, those who are
registered for sales tax, income tax , etc .
These

include

the

corporate

-backed

hypermarket and retail chain, and also the
privately owned large businesses
Some of the Key Players in
Organized Retail
Unorganized Retailing
•

It refers to the traditional formats of low-cost retailing, for
example, the local kirana shops, owner manned general
stores ,paan/beedi shops, convenience stores, etc.

•

The Indian retail sector is highly fragmented with 97 per cent
of its business being run by the unorganized retailers.

• The sector is the largest source of employment after
agriculture, and has deep penetration into rural India
generating more than 10 per cent of India‘s GDP.

FDI
IT is the investment into the business of a country by a
company in another country’ Mostly the investment is
into production by either buying a company in the
target country or by expanding operation of an existing
business in that country. Such investment can take
place for many reasons, including to take advantage of
cheaper wages, tax exemption offered by country.
Entry Options For Foreign Players prior to FDI
Policy
Although prior to Jan 24, 2006, FDI was not authorized in
retailing, most general players had been operating in the
country. Some of entrance routes used by them have been
discussed in sum as below:• Franchise agreements
• Cash and carry wholesale trading
• Strategic licensing agreements
• Manufacturing and wholly owned subsidiaries
Franchise Agreements
It is an easiest track to come in the Indian market. In
franchising and commission agents‘ services, FDI (unless
otherwise prohibited) is allowed with the approval of the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the Foreign Exchange
Management Act. This is a most usual mode for entrance of
quick food bondage opposite a world. Apart from quick food
bondage identical to Pizza Hut, players such as Lacoste,
Mango,Nike as good as Marks as good as Spencer, have
entered Indian marketplace by this route.
Cash And Carry Wholesale Trading
100% FDI is allowed in wholesale trading, which
involves

building

of

a

large

distribution

infrastructure to assist local manufacturers. The
wholesaler deals only with smaller retailers and
not Consumers. Metro AG of Germany was the
first significant global player to enter India
through this route.
Strategic Licensing Agreements
Some foreign brands give exclusive licenses and distribution
rights to Indian Companies. Through these rights, Indian
companies can either sell it through their own stores, or
enter into shop-in-shop arrangements or distribute the
brands to franchisees. Mango, the Spanish apparel brand
has entered India through this route with an agreement
with Piramyd, Mumbai, SPAR entered into a similar
agreement with Radhakrishna Foodlands Pvt. Ltd
Manufacturing and Wholly Owned
Subsidiaries
The foreign brands such as Nike, Reebok, Adidas, etc.
that
have
wholly-owned
subsidiaries
in
manufacturing are treated as Indian companies and
are, therefore, allowed to do retail. These companies
have been authorized to sell products to Indian
consumers by franchising, internal distributors,
existent Indian retailers, own outlets, etc. For
instance, Nike entered through an exclusive licensing
agreement with Sierra Enterprises but now has a
wholly owned subsidiary, Nike India Private Limited
FDI Policy with Regard to Retailing in
India
• FDI up to 100% for cash and carry wholesale trading and
export trading Allowed under the automatic route.
• FDI up to 51 % with prior Government approval for retail
trade of Single Brand‘ products
• FDI is not permitted in Multi Brand Retailing in India.
Prospected Changes in FDI Policy for Retail
Sector in India
The government (led by Dr. Manmohan Singh,
announced following prospective reforms
• In Indian Retail Sector India will allow FDI of up to 51%
in ―multi-brand‖ sector.
• Single brand retailers such as Apple can own 100% of
their Indian stores, up from previous cap of 51%.
• The retailers (both single and multi-brand) will have to
source at least 30% of their goods from small and
medium sized Indian suppliers.

Competitive Rivalry
S.W.O.T Analysis of retail
Strengths
•

Improvement in the standard of living.

• High Potential: since the organized portion of retail
sector is only 2-3%, Thereby creating lot of potential
for future players.
•

High Employment Generator: the retail sector
employs 7% of work Force in India, which is rite now
limited to unorganized sector only. Once the Reforms
get implemented this percentage is likely to increase
Weaknesses
• Government Restrictions on FDI.
•

Highly Unorganized: The unorganized portion of retail sector is
only 97% as compared to US, which is only 20%.

• Low Productivity: Mckinsey study claims retail productivity in India
is very low as compared to its international peers.
• Shortage of Talented Professionals: the retail trade business in
India is not considered as reputed profession and is mostly carried
out by the Family members (self-employment and captive
business). Such people andNot academically and professionally
qualified
Opportunities
• Change in consumer behavior pattern and increase in disposable
income.
• Fast evolving shopping mall formats .

• Heavy flow of capital will help in building up the
infrastructure for the growing population: India is already
operating in budgetary deficit. Neither the government of
India nor domestic investors are capable of satisfying the
growing needs (school, hospitals, transport etc.) of the ever
growing Indian population. Hence foreign capital inflow will
enable us to create a heavy capital base.
Threads
• Current Independent Stores will be compelled to
close: This will lead to massive job loss as most of the
operations in big stores like Walmart are highly
automated requiring less work force.
• Big players can knock-out competition: they can
afford to lower prices in initial stages, become
monopoly and then raise price later.
• India does not need foreign retailers: as they can
satisfy the whole domestic demand.
Competition Act
Competition is not an end in itself – it is a means to the objective
of economic efficiency. It benefits consumers by restraining prices
and encouraging companies to innovate to provide better quality
for the price paid. However, in some circumstances a monopoly
or coordinated network of companies may be the most efficient
arrangement such as where there are substantial economies of
scale. Competition laws usually allow the competition authorities
to assess the trade-off between the costs or harm to consumers
of permitting a monopoly, versus potential benefits .
Type of competition
• Anti-competitive Agreements
• Abuse of Dominant Position
Conclusion
The issue that India must grapple with now is
the impact of reduced competition brought
about by retailer concentration will have on
various stakeholders and the ways in which
competition laws and policy can deal with this
growth of power before it is too late. The new
Competition Act, 2002 has all the required
provisions. It would, anyhow, depend on how
it is implemented.
