Falling investment - 30.8% in 2010 to 29.5% in 2011

High interest rates have impacted credit to MSMEs in manufacturing sector as well as keyindustries Non food credit growth to MSMEs declined from 21.1% in April, 2010 to 20.6% in April, 2011

Inadequate infrastructure continues to be a major structural bottleneck

Shrink in FDI inflows due to structural bottlenecks In 2010-11, FDI inflows shrunk by 28% to US$27 billion from a level of US$ 38 billion in 2009-10

Weak enforcement and monitoring

Likely overshooting of fiscal deficit Though fiscal deficit is budgeted at 4.6% for FY 2012, however,developments in recent months like deceleration in growth, high crude oil prices, high subsidy and risinginterest rates are casting doubts

Challenges


17/18

Investment Climate:

FDI in sectors such as retail, insurance, defence, etc needs to be expanded drastically

Rapid clearance of large projects

Financial Sector Reforms: Liberalize financing guidelines

Facilitate increased access to international debt markets

Encourage development of the corporate debt market

Agriculture Sector Reforms:

Allow FDI in food retailing to integrate distorted supply chain Encouragement to PPP model in strengthening agriculture research and extension programmes

Exempting horticulture produce from APMC Act

Move towards unified national market and allow free movement of produce

Infrastructure:

For greater investment in infrastructure policy framework needs to be made more friendly

Social Sector:

Much better delivery of government services to the poor with the support of state governments

Agenda for further reforms

CII has been a strong partner to government during the reforms period and will

continue to build the partnership of Government and industry to make India a

developed nation in the next two decades
