Govt likely to allow global retailers to open warehouses in states opposing FDI

21 May 2013 Evaluate

The government is planning to allow global retailers such as Walmart and Tesco to set up warehouses, cold storages and source products from small and medium enterprises (SME) in states which have not permitted FDI in the multi-brand retail sector. As per the proposal, no state will stop any foreign player to procure goods or do business with SMEs.

Global retailer players have sought clarifications from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) on whether they could set up warehouses in states which are against the Centre’s retail FDI policy.  As per the government FDI policy, 50 per cent of first tranche of the mandatory minimum $100 million FDI would only have to be invested in the back-end infrastructure and not in buying land, existing building or rent. Further a foreign retailer must source 30 per cent of the items that it sells in India from small industries.

However, certain issues were raised by the foreign retailers regarding these provisions. Meanwhile, the Department of Industry Policy and Promotion (DIPP) would soon issue clarifications on issues raised by the retailers. The government has permitted 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail.
