According to Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), if overseas investment is permitted, India’s organized retail industry is expected to become a $1.3 trillion opportunity by 2020, led by an estimated 25% average annual growth. With the current market size estimated at $500 billion, this translates to an additional $800 billion in the next eight years, R V Kanoria, President of FICCI said.
The central government recently took a decision to allow up to 51 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail and to raise the limit for overseas investment in single-brand retail to 100 percent. Further, country's traditional retail industry is expected a growth at an average annual rate of five percent over the next year, since almost 94 percent of India's retail industry is under unorganized or traditional whereas, the organized retail is expected to clock-in a growth rate of almost 25% in this period.
Further, to gauge the immediate concerns of the industry, FICCI organized an interactive meeting with different stakeholders of retail industry like representatives of small Kirana stores, farmers and consumers and suggested that FDI would help improve back-end infrastructure and reduce wastage, especially of fruits and vegetables.
