Abstract

India is ranked as the third most attractive nation for retail investment among emerging markets and many MNCs have been looking for the potential benefits to be taken from it. The development of organized retail has the potential of generating employment, improvement in technology, development of real estate etc. On the other hand critics of the FDI feel that allowing FDI would jeopardize the unorganized retail sector and would not only adversely affect the small retailers and consumers but will give rise to monopolies of large corporate houses also, which can adversely affect the pricing and availability of goods. A case for the prospects for the same is discussed in this paper.
