The online retail industry in India is expected to grow to Rs. 7000 crores by 2015. Its size in 2013 is Rs. 2500 crores. By 2014 India is expected to become the 3rd largest nation of Internet users and this would provide huge potential to the online retail Industry1.Among the major cities in India, consumers in Mumbai topped the chart in doing online shopping followed by Ahmedabad and Delhi2. As per Google study conducted in 2012, 51 percent of the traffic for its Great online shopping festival (GOSF) was due to customers from cities other than the four metros. Referring to the growth in online sales, Nitin Bawankule, industry director, e-commerce, online classifieds and media/entertainment at Google India said, “Top motivators for shopping online include cash back guarantee, cash on delivery, fast delivery, substantial discounts compared to retail, and access to branded products”3.  The E –commerce space in India has seen a lot of action and there are many online players like flipkart.com, Myntra.com, Fabmart, Indiaplaza and Indiatimesshopping. Amazon.com made an indirect entry through Junglee.com. The reason for this indirect entry is the result of government policy towards foreign direct investment.  The Government of India announced in September 2012 the revised foreign direct investment policy in retail. As per this announcement foreign investments are blocked in e-commerce sector while allowing 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail stores and 100 percent FDI in single brand retail. Amazon has been eyeing the Indian E commerce market which is estimated around $2 billion4.

Modelling Approach

The automobile industry in India was highly protected in favour of domestic car manufacturers till the late 1980s. The Government of India’s drastic shift towards economic liberalization and Foreign Direct Investment Policy transformed the automobile industry, since the early 1990s. The ensuing decade witnessed many foreign car manufacturers entering the Indian automobile industry with their models and brands. World leaders in passenger cars such as Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai set up manufacturing hubs in India, cashing on the liberalized Foreign Direct Investment Policy of the Government of India. These manufacturers captured the hearts and minds of Indian car customers, with their choicest of car models with high technological and innovative product offerings, with quality and reliability. This transformed the automobile scene from a seller’s market to buyer’s market. Car customers had started developing their own personal preferences and purchasing patterns, which were hitherto unknown in the Indian automobile segment. This study focused on the influences of various attributes and factors in the consumer purchase behaviour of passenger cars. The logistic modelling approach evaluated as to why the car customers prefer different car segmented models in comparison to a base category model. The article attempted to build a passenger car purchase modelling approach, to evaluate consumer behavioural preferences, which eventually influences the purchase behaviour of passenger car owners. The results of the research would contribute to the practical knowledge base of the automobile industry, specifically to the passenger car segments. The model developed has also a great contributory value addition, to the manufacturers and dealers, for evolving a customized marketing strategy approach.

Significance The government is struggling to manage the health crisis and is distracted by peace negotiations, the impending US troop withdrawal and its own factional infighting. Impacts Foreign direct investment is in decline and will not pick up unless there is clarity about a political settlement. A change in government resulting from the Doha peace talks could up-end fiscal management. Healthcare and social investment policy assume the Taliban will not be influencing policy by end-2021; this may be wrong. The IMF's recommendation of an audit of COVID-19 aid highlights the corruption that blights the government's record.

The Impact

The Government of India was initially very apprehensive of the introduction of the Foreign Direct Investment in the Retail Sector in India. The unorganized retail sector as has been mentioned earlier occupies 98% of the retail sector and the rest 2% is contributed by the organized sector. The unorganized retail sector contributes about 14% to the GDP and absorbs about 7% of our labor force. Retail is the sale of goods to end users, not for resale, but for use and consumption by the purchaser. The retail transaction is at the end of the supply chain. Manufacturers sell large quantities of products to retailers, and retailers sell small quantities of those products to consumers. This study has been undertaken foreign direct investment has affected the Indian retail industry. The inflow of foreign direct investment has boosted growth in the retail industry and increased the gross domestic product of India. Government policy and other determinants have been discussed to study and analyze the impact. The Indian retail market is a developing market and has potential for investments. There had been a restriction in the inflow of foreign direct investment till 2006. But since 2006, there has been a positive change in the government policy thereby allowing foreign companies to invest in India and become an owner. The paper elucidates the growth between different sectors of Indian retail industry, the tax incentives and determinants for inflow of foreign direct investment. This study focuses on foreign direct investment inflows in selected retail sectors

Original Equipment Manufacturers

Prime Minister Modi’s new campaign for “Make in India” is to increase share of manufacturing from the current level of 15 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 25 per cent and create additional employment opportunity of 1 crore per year. The government is putting thrust on export-led growth and should give primacy to “Make for India”. Defence manufacturing came out of the stranglehold of Public Sector Undertakings-Ordnance Factories monopoly with major liberalisation in 2001 with 100 per cent private sector participation and the recently announced 49 per cent in Foreign Direct Investment. Policy footprints such as the Defence Procurement Policy 2013 have created a level playing field for the private sector. The Defence Production Policy 2011 aims at higher self reliance in critical technology and the Offsets Policy 2012 which seeks to leverage our big arms’ acquisition to bring in state-of-art technology, and long term partnership with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The Self Reliance Index of our defence acquisition, however, remains at a wobbly 30 per cent despite spasmodic policy posturing to improve indigenisation.
