Allowing 51% FDI in retail in India was taken place just before the winter session of parliament by the cabinet. The government came to act after a long time, since long time UPA govt is unable to provide any new policy initiative. NREGS and RTI was the last policy decision with some significant impact. RTE was a great initiative without any thrust to implement the same. The whole country is bustling with inflation figures and corruption headlines. To break the long silence govt decided to make 51% FDI in multi-brand retail and 100% in single brand retail. I must say this was great news not just for the sceptic market but also many global corporates to get a slice of Indian economic growth. FDI is retail is long overdue since the economic liberalization. It promises to adds great strength to economy. The major concern of food supply chain, real-estate commercialization, employment generation and tax collection. It will provide the much more organized labor system which is completely unorganized without any labor law in retail market. Presently only 6% of Indian retail industry is organized and rest is unorganized as compared to more than 25% retail industry organized in Brazil and China, and more than 75% organized retail in USA. Indian industry must follow the path of organized economy to make it competitive and regularized. Present retail industry has almost no regulation and with no specialized skills. This kind of system leads to family based business which is not good for society. It is ironical that the BJP party which proposed to pass raise FDI cap in 2002 now are against that. Another ironical part is the local businessman and other section of society like Anna and his supporters, who want to eliminate corruption, does not want any regularization of retail industry. It is very obvious that unorganized sector leads to more corruption as there are no standard practices and nothing is on paper. It is either height of hypocrisy or height of foolishness. I do feel the international best practice should be implemented and skilled labor should reap the benefit of this huge industry.
