India Inc. Moving into High Gear to Raise FDI Overseas in 2007
A recent study by Institute of International Finance (IIF), a
Washington-based global association of financial institutions, predicts
that the hunger of Indian players to operate in foreign lands will lead
to triple fold rise in foreign direct investment out of the nation in
2007.

The report by IIF expected that the good performance of Indian economy
and improving policy environment would accelerate the direct investment
in 2007 to $8 Billion from $6.5 Billion in 2006.
The figures might appear a small amount as against the frequent
investment announcements of hundreds of millions of dollars abroad by
Indian majors like Suzlon, Ranbaxy, Subex Systems, Dr Reddys Labs, and
Tata Tea, but industry experts say this is due to the fact that big
deals usually have foreign financing components or debts.
IIF predicts the FDI would mount to a massive $211 Billion in 2007, the
highest value recorded from $185 Billion in 2006.
The study by IIF cites booming Indian economy and an appetite for deals
to capitalize on the market as the factors fueling growth in investments
in India. Meanwhile, Indian players continue to hunt for business
grounds in foreign lands in terms of new consumer markets and
production.
According to the RNCOS report India Retail Sector Analysis
(2006-2007)India enjoys the highest retail density in the world. Current
data shows that India has one retail outlet for every hundred people.
Opening doors to foreign players by respective governments has helped in
the global expansion of the retailers. To be successful in the Indian
retail market, retailers have to overcome the cultural and regional
differences as these factors dissuade retailers in India to follow a
single retail format.
The report further highlights the important features of the Indian
organized retailers. As per the report, organized retail sector will
account for 10% share of the total retailing by the year 2010 at a
growth rate of 30% annually. It gives a detailed account on break up of
products sold in organized retail, share of food industry in organized
retailing and its growth rate, industry segmentation by retail format,
product penetration, and advertising and marketing scenario in retail
industry.
