Descripción

India’s retail landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two decades, shaped by globalization, liberalization, and evolving consumer preferences. Foreign Direct Investment in India’s Retail Sector: Policy, Regulation and Socio-Economic Impact offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most debated and influential areas of India’s economic development. This book examines the evolution of FDI policies, the regulatory framework governing retail, and the complex interplay between domestic interests and international investment. Through rigorous analysis and real-world case studies, it assesses how foreign investment has influenced market competitiveness, supply-chain efficiencies, employment patterns, and consumer welfare. It also evaluates the socio-economic implications for small retailers, farmers, and local communities groups often at the heart of the national debate.
