    E?ECUTIE SUMMARY

    Foreign direct in$estment *F!I0 has played an important role in the process of 

    globalisation during the past two decades% The rapid e6pansion in F!I bymultinational enterprises since the mid4eighties may be attributed to significant

    changes in technologies7 greater liberalisation of trade and in$estment regimes7

    and deregulation and pri$atisation of mar5ets in de$eloping countries li5e India%

    The present study aims at pro$iding detailed information about F!I inflows in

    India during the subsequent years% The analysis is fully based on secondary data

    collected through different website and journals%

    The project aims at pro$iding information of present F!I policy7 year wise F!I

    inflows7 ad$antages and disad$antages of F!I7 )8I policy7 foreign portfolio

    in$estment7 impact and importance of F!I in ban5ing sector7 etc%

    9nd thus different suggestion and recommendation are gi$en to impro$e the

    The origin of the in$estment does not impact the definition as an F!I( the

    STATEMENT OF T+E *ROBLEM

    In todayLs economy F!I plays an important role in each sector% 8eing a

    de$eloping country7 F!I is a topic of great discussion in India7 considering that

    foreign income has the will to change the face of the Indian economy% 9s easy

    as it may sound to a layman that incoming cash flow is good for the economy7

    F!I comes with a lot of complications% hile there are few who support F!I7

    there are also many who oppose the idea% The ban5ing industry is a bac5bone on

    which any country can grow% It is through which the entire economy and the

    cash flow of the country runs% Therefore it is necessary to understand the change

    in the industry which is going to be brought about by the increase in F!I in the

     particular industry% The study will also illustrate how F!I changes an industryand highlights the benefits which will be recei$ed by the people%

    IM*ORTANCE AND BARRIERS TO FDI

    The rapid growth of world population since 2-3. has occurred mostly in

    de$eloping countries% This growth has been matched by more rapid increases in

    gross domestic product7 and thus income per capita has increased in most

    countries around the world since 2-3.%

    9n increase in F!I may be associated with impro$ed economic growth due to

    the influ6 of capital and increased ta6 re$enues for the host country% Bost

    countries often try to channel F!I in$estment into new infrastructure and other 

     projects to boost de$elopment% Greater competition from new companies can

    lead to producti$ity gains and greater efficiency in the host country and it has

     been suggested that the application of a foreign entityLs policies to a domestic

    subsidiary may impro$e corporate go$ernance standards% Furthermore7 foreignin$estment can result in the transfer of soft s5ills through training and job

    creation7 the a$ailability of more ad$anced technology for the domestic mar5et

    and access to research and de$elopment resources% The local population may

     benefit from the employment opportunities created by new businesses%In many

    instances7 the in$esting company is simply transferring its older production

    capacity and machines7 which might still be appealing to the host country

     because of technological lags or under4de$elopment7 in order to a$oid

    competition against its own products by the host country'company%

    The go$ernment has also proposed to allow 2.. per cent F!I through FIP8

    route in mar5eting of food products produced and manufactured in India%

    hile trade bodies including onfederation of 9ll India Traders ha$e opposed

    the mo$e saying it amounts to partially opening up foreign in$estment in multi4

     brand retail trade and allowing multi4nationals in the sector through the

     bac5door7 Finance Minister 9run ?aitley justified the decision saying( “9 lot of 

    fruits and $egetables grown by our farmers either do not fetch the right prices or

    efficient% This mo$e will benefit farmers7 gi$e impetus to food processing

    FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS

    hen the Modi go$ernment came into power in May 1.2D7 it found itself 

    inheriting a host of legacy issues resulting from the after4effects of global

    recession and #P9 IILs financial misad$entures% There was a deep

    macroeconomic instability brought about by the high fiscal and current account

    deficits7 raging inflation7 tapering of G!P growth rates and the unra$elling of 

    the infrastructure sector% The state electricity discoms were in financial turmoil%

    The ban5ing sector was also battling a systemic problem of highly stressed

    assets%

     better% Inflation7 the current account deficit and fiscal deficit ha$e been brought

    It can be argued that increasing allocation towards recapitalisation will create

    further pressure on fiscal deficit targets% 8ut unless the ban5ing sector is

    unshac5led from the burden of its bad loans7 it will not be able to contribute as

     but pri$ate in$estments can be 5ic5started if ban5s ha$e an increased capacity to

    lend to the corporate sector% 9n increase in pri$ate in$estments will be able to

    more than offset the pressures created on the fiscal side as it will pro$ide a boost

    CONCLUSION

    The )8IOs decision to allow foreign direct in$estment in Indian ban5s7 the lifting

    of sectorial caps on foreign institutional in$estors and a series of other policy

    measures could ultimately lead to the pri$atisation of public sector ban5s% The

    series of policy announcements in recent wee5s promises to unleash a sha5eout

    in the Indian ban5ing industry% 9 major policy change7 effected through an

    innocuous clarification issued by the )eser$e 8an5 of India *)8I0 a few

    wee5s ago7 set the stage for the increased presence of foreign entities in the

    industry% The )8IOs mo$e to allow foreign direct in$estment *F!I0 in Indian

     ban5s has been followed by the announcement in the #nion 8udget lifting

    sectorial caps on foreign institutional in$estors *FII0%

    There are also reports that the )8IOs forthcoming credit policy may feature more

    sops for pri$ate and foreign ban5s% These changes are li5ely to hasten the

     process of consolidation of the ban5ing industry% 9lthough there is some doubt

    o$er whether the mo$es will ha$e any immediate impact7 there is consensus that

    the changes are merely a prelude to the wholesale pri$atisation of the public

    sector ban5s *P=8s0% I!8I7 the promoter of I!8I 8an57 has already announced

    its intention to relinquish control of the ban5% Foreign ban5s ha$e also mounted

     pressure on the Finance Ministry7 see5ing the remo$al of legislati$e hurdles that

    set limits to pri$ate and foreign holdings in P=8s% In the short term7 the action is

    li5ely to be focused on the Indian pri$ate ban5s% :f the 2.. ban5s in India7 1;

    are P=8s *including eight in the =tate 8an5 of India group0% There are A2 pri$ate

    sector ban5s7 of which eight are of recent $intage *for e6ample7 III 8an5 and

    B!F 8an50 and there are D1 foreign ban5s with branches in India% The )8IOs

    decision is seen as enabling foreign ban5s to e6tend their operations7 primarily

     by acquiring other ban5s%
