Retail stocks trade jubilant on approval of 51% FDI in multi-brand retail

17 Sep 2012 Evaluate

Retail stocks are trading jubilant after government pushed through the move to allow foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail. However, approving 51% FDI in retail, the Centre said it will be up to the state governments to decide whether they want to implement FDI in retail in their respective states. FDI in multi-brand retail has many pre-conditions as the minimum FDI limit has been set at $100 million. Half of any investments have to be made in infrastructure like cold-storage chains and warehouses. This is designed to help the agricultural sector and India has a severe shortage of these.
