INTRODUCTION
1.1 Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) influences the host country’s economic growth through
the transfer of new technologies and know-how, formation of human resources,
integration in global markets, increase of competition, and firms’ development and
reorganization. Empirically, a variety of studies considers that FDI generate economic
growth in the host country. However, there is also evidence that FDI is a source of
negative effects. Given this ambiguity of results, the present paper makes a review of the
existing theoretical and empirical literature on the subject, intending to shed light on the
main explanations for the divergence of results in different studies. The main idea that
stands out in this review is that the effects of FDI on economic growth are dependent on
the existing or subsequently developed internal conditions of the host country (economic,
political, social, cultural or other). Thus, the host countries authorities have a key role in
creating the conditions that allow for the leverage of the positive effects or for the
reduction of the negative effects of FDI on the host country’s economic growth.
1.2Introduction
Consistent economic growth, de-regulation, liberal investment rules, and operational
flexibility are all the factors that help increase the inflow of Foreign direct investment or
FDI.FDI or Foreign Direct Investment is any form of investment that earns interest in
enterprises which function outside of the domestic territory of the investor. FDIs require a
business relationship between a parent company and its foreign subsidiary. Foreign direct
business relationships give rise to multinational corporations. For an investment to be
regarded as an FDI, the parent firm needs to have at least 10% of the ordinary shares of
its foreign affiliates. The investing firm may also qualify for an FDI if it owns voting
power in a business enterprise operating in a foreign country.
India now with consistent growth performance and abundant high-skilled affordable
manpower provides enormous opportunity for investment both domestic and foreign.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) causes a flow of money into the economies which
stimulates economic activity, increases employment and induces the long run aggregate
supply and brings in best practices. The FDI policy was liberalized progressively through
6. 6
review of the policy on an ongoing basis and allowing FDI in more industries under the
automatic route.
FDI inflows had declined globally in 2009 and 2010. While India was able to largely
insulate itself from the decline in global inflows in 2009-10, FDI flows had moderated in
2010-11. The slowdown in FDI inflows could mainly be attributed to a lagged effect of a
pause in implementing investment decisions, which could range between one to two
years, depending upon the sector and size of individual projects. A number of global
investors had then remained cautious about making large investments in new sectors,
given the fragility of the global recovery. However, the months of April-June, 2011 have
shown a strong revival compared to the last two years. June 2011 witnessed second
highest inflow in last 11 years of US$ 5.656 billion, representing an increase of nearly
310%, in US $ terms, over the FDI equity inflows of US $ 1.380 billion received in June,
2010.
Therefore, we can say that there is a credible reversal of downward trend in FDI inflows
in the current financial year, where a significant upward trend in the FDI inflows is
evident. FDI equity inflows, for the first quarter of the current financial year (April-June,
2011), have been US $ 13.441 billion, representing an increase of almost 133%, in US $
terms, over the FDI equity inflows of US $ 5.772 billion for the corresponding period of
the last financial year (April-June, 2010). Commenting on the recovery Shri Anand
Sharma, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry said, “There is a continuing effort on
the part of the Government to make the FDI policy more investor friendly. The release of
the final edition of the consolidated FDI Policy Circular effective from April 2011 is a
step in this direction. We have incorporated a number of significant changes in the policy
and announcement of the policy for FDI in Limited Liability Partnership (LLPs), are
indicators of the Government’s strong commitment towards that end.”
India continues to be one of the favoured destinations for FDI. In fact, the UNCTAD
World Investment Report (WIR) 2010, in its analysis of global trends and sustained
growth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows, reported India as the second most
attractive location for FDI for 2010-2012.
There has been a continuing and sustained effort to make the FDI policy more liberal and
investor-friendly. Significant rationalization and simplification of the policy has,
7. 7
therefore, been carried out in the recent past. For example, a major exercise has been
undertaken for consolidation of FDI policy, with the aim of simplifying FDI policy,
promoting clarity of understanding of foreign investment rules among foreign investors
and sectoral regulators, as also for having a single policy platform. The process of
consolidation involved integration of 178 Press Notes, covering various aspects of FDI
policy, which had been issued since 1991, as also a large number of other regulations
governing FDI. The document was released as ‘Circular 1 of 2010′, on 31 March, 2010,
as per the commitment made. The document has also been updated at six monthly
intervals, to ensure that it remains current and updated.
1.3 Meaning & Definitions -
Meaning –
A foreign direct investment (FDI) is a controlling ownership in a business enterprise in
one country by an entity based in another country.
Foreign direct investment is distinguished from portfolio foreign investment, a passive
investment in the securities of another country such as public stocks and bonds, by the
element of "control". According to the Financial Times, "Standard definitions of control
use the internationally agreed 10 percent threshold of voting shares, but this is a grey area
as often a smaller block of shares will give control in widely held companies. Moreover,
control of technology, management, even crucial inputs can confer de facto control."
The origin of the investment does not impact the definition as an FDI, i.e., the investment
may be made either "inorganically" by buying a company in the target country or
"organically" by expanding operations of an existing business in that country.
Definitions –
Broadly, foreign direct investment includes "mergers and acquisitions, building new
facilities, reinvesting profits earned from overseas operations and intra company loans".
In a narrow sense, foreign direct investment refers just to building new facilities. The
numerical FDI figures based on varied definitions are not easily comparable. As a part of
the national accounts of a country, and in regard to the GDP equation Y=C+I+G+(X-
M)[Consumption + gross Investment + Government spending +(exports - imports)],
where I is domestic investment plus foreign investment, FDI is defined as the net inflows
of investment (inflow minus outflow) to acquire a lasting management interest (10
8. 8
percent or more of voting stock) in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that
of the investor. FDI is the sum of equity capital, other long-term capital, and short-term
capital as shown the balance of payments. FDI usually involves participation in
management, joint-venture, transfer of technology and expertise. Stock of FDI is the net
(i.e., inward FDI minus outward FDI) cumulative FDI for any given period. Direct
investment excludes investment through purchase of shares. FDI is one example of
international factor movements.
1.4 Types -
Horizontal: where the company carries out the same activities abroad as at home (for
example, Toyota assembling cars in both Japan and the UK.
Vertical: when different stages of activities are added abroad. Forward vertical FDI is
where the FDI takes the firm nearer to the market (for example, Toyota acquiring a car
distributorship in America) and Backward Vertical FDI is where international integration
moves back towards raw materials (for example, Toyota acquiring a tyre manufacturer or
a rubber plantation).
-Conglomerate: where an unrelated business is added abroad. This is the most unusual
form of FDI as it involves attempting to overcome two barriers simultaneously - entering
a foreign country and a new industry. This leads to the analytical solution that
internationalization and diversification are often alternative strategies, not complements.
FDI can take the form of Greenfield entry or takeover.
Greenfield entry implies assembling all the elements from scratch as Honda did in the
UK, whereas foreign takeover means the acquisition of an existing foreign company - as
Tata’s acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover illustrates.
Foreign takeover is often covered by the term 'mergers and acquisitions’ (M&As) but
internationally, mergers are vanishingly small, accounting for less than 1 per cent of all
foreign acquisitions.
This choice of entry mode interacts with ownership strategy – the choice of wholly
owned subsidiaries versus joint ventures to give a 2x2 matrix of choices – Greenfield
wholly owned ventures, Greenfield joint ventures, wholly owned takeovers and joint
foreign acquisitions - giving foreign investors choices that they can match to their own
capabilities and foreign conditions

1.7 Foreign Investment Policy
Government of India facilitates Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and investment from
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) including Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs),
predominantly owned by them, to complement and supplement domestic investment.
Foreign technology induction is encouraged both through FDI and through foreign
technology collaboration agreements. Foreign Direct Investment and Foreign technology
collaboration agreements can be approved either through the automatic route under
powers delegated to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or otherwise by the Government.
Automatic Approval
In pursuance of Government's commitment to early implementation of the second phase
of the economic reforms and with a view to further liberalizing the FDI regime, all items/
activities have been placed under the automatic route for FDI/NR1 and OCB investment,
except the following:
1. All proposals that require an Industrial Licence which includes
a. the item requiring an Industrial Licence under the Industries (Development and
Regulation) Act, 1951;
b. foreign investment being more than 24% in the equity capital of units manufacturing
items reserved for small scale industries; and
c. all items which require an Industrial Licence in terms of the locational policy notified by
Government under the New Industrial Policy of 1991.
2. All proposals in which the foreign collaborator has a previous venture/tie-up in India.
3. All proposals relating to acquisition of shares in an existing Indian company in favour of
a foreign/NRI/OCB investor
4. All proposals falling outside notified sectoral policy/caps or under sectors in which FDI
is not permitted and /or whenever any investor chooses to make an application to the
FIPB and not to avail of the automatic route
All proposals for investment in public sector unit as also for EOU/EPZ/EHTP/STP units
would qualify for automatic route subject to the above parameters. The modalities and
11. 11
procedures for automatic route would remain the same and RBI would continue to be
concerned agency for monitoring / reporting as per existing procedure. FDI/NRI/OCB
investment under the automatic route shall continue to be governed by the notified
sectoral policy and equity caps.
Foreign Technology Collaboration Agreements
RBI also gives automatic permission for foreign technology agreement in all areas of
electronics provided:
1. Lump sum payment of the price of the technology does not exceed USD 2 million and
2. Royalty payments do not exceed 5% of domestic sales and 8% of exports. (The royalty
rates are net of taxes).
3. The payments are subject to an overall ceiling of 8 percent of total sales over a period of
10 years from the date of agreement or over 7 years period from the date of
commencement of commercial production, whichever is earlier.
Application for investment under the automatic process are to be made to the RBI and
approval is generally granted within three weeks.
Investment Proposals under Hardware and software Technology Parks, Export Oriented
Units and Export Processing Zones
Foreign investment up to 100 percent is welcome in electronics and software industries
set up exclusively for exports. The units set up under these programs are bonded factories
eligible to import, free of duty
Procedure for approval
4. Once the investment in equity has been approved, the import of capital goods,
components and raw materials or the engagement of foreign technicians for short
durations do not require any additional approvals.

considered by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
10. Government approval
The FDI/ Foreign technology collaboration agreement proposals which do not conform to
the guidelines for automatic approval require Government approval through the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). The Government has set up a special 'Foreign
Investment Promotion Board' (FIPB) as a fast track mechanism to invite and facilitate
foreign investments in large projects in India, which are considered beneficial to the
Indian economy but are not covered by the automatic approval process and norms under
which SIA is authorized to grant investment approvals.
Investment Proposals outside the Purview of the RBI

consumables, office equipments etc. Deemed export benefits are available to suppliers of
these goods from the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). A part of the production from such
units is permitted to be sold in the DTA depending upon the level of the value addition
achieved.

1.8 Foreign Direct Investment in India-
Apart from being a critical driver of economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI) is
a major source of non-debt financial resource for the economic development of India.
Foreign companies invest in India to take advantage of cheaper wages, special investment
privileges like tax exemptions, etc. For a country where foreign investments are being
made, it also means achieving technical know-how and generation of employment.
The continuous inflow of FDI in India, which is now allowed across several industries,
clearly shows the faith that overseas investors have in the country's economy.
The Indian government’s policy regime and a robust business environment have ensured
that foreign capital keep flowing into the country. The government has taken many
initiatives in recent years such as relaxing FDI norms across sectors such as defense, PSU
oil refineries, telecom, power exchanges and stock exchanges, among others.
Market Size
According to a recent report by global credit rating agency Moody’s, FDI inflows have
increased significantly in India in the current fiscal. This, according to Moody’s, is due to
India’s current pro-growth policies. Net FDI inflows totalled US$ 14.1 billion in the first
five months of 2014-15, representing a 33.5 per cent increase from the same period in
2013-14.
Total FDI inflows into India in the period April 2000–November 2014 touched US$
350,963 million. Total FDI inflows into India during the period April–November FY15
was US$ 18,884 million.
Mauritius is again emerging as the largest source of FDI in India, accounting for an
inflow of US$ 83,730 million in the April 2000-November 2014 period. According to
official data, the inflow of foreign investment from Singapore amounted to US$ 29,193
million, followed by the UK at US$ 21,761 million and Japan at US$ 17,557 million
during April 2000-November 2014.
14. 14
Investments
The government has announced that foreign investors can put in as much as Rs 90,300
crore (US$ 14.65 billion) in India’s rail infrastructure through the FDI route, according to
a list of projects released by the Ministry of Railways. The Rs 63,000 crore (US$ 10.22
billion) Mumbai-Ahmadabad high-speed corridor project is the single largest. The other
big ones include the Rs 14,000 crore (US$ 2.27 billion) CSTM-Panvel suburban corridor,
to be implemented in public-private partnership (PPP), and the Rs 1,200 crore (US$
194.79 million) Kachrapara rail coach factory, besides multiple freight line,
electrification and signalling projects.
Israel-based world's seventh largest agrochemicals firm ADAMA Agrochemicals,
formerly known as Makhteshim Agan Industries, plans to invest at least US$ 50 million
over the next three years. ADAMA's global president and Chief Executive Chen
Lichtenstein said the idea was to expand both manufacturing and research and
development facilities in India aimed at growing better than the average industry growth.
Apple - world's most admired electronics brand - that sells devices such as the iPhone,
iPad tablet and iPod media player – is planning to open 500 'iOS' stores in India in its
first major push that will include moving into smaller towns and cities.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has moved a Cabinet note to
allow 100 per cent FDI in medical devices as part of a strategy to not only reduce imports
but also promote local manufacturing for the global market, which will be worth over
US$ 400 billion next year.
Real estate private equity FDI is set to double after the Indian government ended the
three-year lock-in and has introduced 100 per cent FDI for completed assets, according to
JLL India. With India now allowing 100 per cent FDI in the construction sector, real
estate private equity investment could double – and boost demand from overseas property
buyers, according to sector experts.
FDI real estate private equity, which is currently estimated at around US$ 1billion - US$
1.5 billion per annum, could reach to up to US$ 3 billion in the next few years, according
to leading agency, JLL India.
15. 15
The Ministry of Finance has announced that it has cleared 15 FDI applications, including
that of Panacea Biotech and Sanofi-Synthelabo (India), and recommended HDFC Bank's
proposal to hike foreign holding to the Cabinet for consideration.
Government Initiatives-
India’s cabinet has cleared a proposal which allows 100 per cent FDI in railway
infrastructure, excluding operations. Though the initiative does not allow foreign firms to
operate trains, it allows them to do other things such as create the network and supply
trains for bullet trains etc.
The government has notified easier FDI rules for construction sector, where 100 per cent
overseas investment is permitted, which will allow overseas investors to exit a project
even before its completion. It also said that 100 per cent FDI will be permitted under
automatic route in completed projects for operation and management of townships, malls
and business centres.
With the objective of encouraging foreign firms to transfer state-of-the-art technology in
defence production, the government may increase the FDI cap for the sector to 74 per
cent from 49 per cent at present. India is expected to spend US$ 40 billion on defence
purchases over the next 4-5 years, mostly from abroad.
The Union Cabinet has cleared a bill to raise the foreign investment ceiling in private
insurance companies from 26 per cent to 49 per cent, with the proviso that the
management and control of the companies must be with Indians.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed a number of foreign investors to invest, on
repatriation basis, in non-convertible/ redeemable preference shares or debentures which
are issued by Indian companies and are listed on established stock exchanges in the
country.
In an effort to bring in more investments into debt and equity markets, the RBI has
established a framework for investments which allows foreign portfolio investors (FPIs)
to take part in open offers, buyback of securities and disinvestment of shares by the
Central or state governments.

1.10 Investment Risks in India
1) Sovereign Risk
India is a vibrant parliamentary democracy and has been one since its political
independence from British rule more than 50 years ago. There is no serious revolutionary
movement in India; hence there is no conceivable possibility of the state collapsing.
Sovereign Risk in India is therefore zero for both "foreign direct investment" and
"foreign portfolio investment." It is however advisable to avoid investing in the extreme
north-eastern parts of India because of terrorist threats. Kashmir in the northern tip is also
a troubled area, but investment opportunities in Kashmir are anyway restricted by law.
2) Political Risk
India suffered political instability for a few years due to the failure of any party to win an
absolute majority in Parliament. However, political stability has returned since the
previous general elections in 1999. However, political instability did not change India's
economic course though it delayed certain decisions relating to the economy.
The political divide in India is not one of policy, but essentially of personalities.
Economic liberalization (which is what foreign investors are interested in) has been
accepted as a necessity by all parties including the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
Thus, political instability in India, in practical terms, posed no risk to foreign direct
investors because no policy framed by a past government has been reversed by any
successive government so far. You can find a comparison in Italy which has had some 45
governments in 50 years, yet overall economic policy remains unchanged. Even if
22. 22
political instability is to return in the future, chances of a reversal in economic policy are
next to nil.
As for terrorism, no terrorist outfit is strong enough to disturb the state. Except for
Kashmir in the north and parts of the north-east, terrorist activity is either non-existent or
too weak to be of any significance. It would take an extreme stretching of the imagination
to visualise a Bangladesh-type state-disrupting revolution in India or a Kuwait-type
annexation of India by a foreign power.
Hence, political risk in India is practically non-existent.
3) Commercial Risk
Commercial risk exists in business in any country. Not each and every product or service
can be readily sold, hence it is necessary to study the demand/supply situation for a
particular product or service before making any major investment. There is a large
number of market research firms in India (including our own) which will study
demand/supply situation for any product/service and advise the potential investor
accordingly in exchange of a professional fee. The India One Stop website provides some
accurate statistics and insights into the most viable sectors for foreign direct investments.
4) Risk of Foreign Sanctions
India did not seem to be in the good books of the United States government due to its
nuclear weapons and missiles development policy. However, US President Bill Clinton's
state visit to India in 2000 was a massive hit which even saw the President dancing with a
crowd of colorfully dressed women in the northwestern state of Rajasthan. Subsequent to
the visit, visits between the two countries at different levels took place, and the US
government has all but come to terms with the reality of a nuclear-armed India.
Background to the sanctions: The US had imposed some sanctions against India
because of its nuclear tests in May 1998. But these sanctions have been theoretical and
even such theoretical sanctions were relaxed within months of their imposition. Given the
fact that US foreign policy in the post-Cold War era is dictated by its economic interests,
it anyway seemed most unlikely that Iraq or Libya-type sanctions would ever be imposed
on India. India is highly self-sufficient in terms of basic technology and requirements,
hence the threat sanctions could not bring India to its knees. The United States seems to
understand this which is perhaps why it never went ahead with really biting sanctions
against India.
Regardless of how strong the threat of sanctions were, the US President's above-
mentioned state visit to India has laid to rest all doubts. In fact, the United States has
often referred to India as a great potential trading partner as well as, perhaps, a politically
strategic partner in Asia. India's rapidly improving relations with Israel has only lent
further momentum to India-US bonding.
23. 23
Given the fact that the United States has somehow managed for itself the role of the
world's policeman (a role to which India is explicitly opposed), other countries – notably
Japan and Australia – have also toned down their opposition to India's nuclear weapons
programme. In other words, it is now business as usual for the world vis-à-vis India.
It is however theoretically possible that relations with the United States can go sour again
in the future. If that happens, India's sheer self-sufficiency in all matters except in the not-
so-critical cutting edge technologies, will ensure that no sanction will hurt more than a
mosquito bite on an elephant.
The threat of foreign sanctions is therefore of academic and speculative value.

Chapter 2
Literature Review –
From a review of a range of literature sources, this section describes the benefits that FDI
can bring to an economy and examines the impact of increased FDI on economic growth
and skills demand.
2.1 Benefits Of FDI-
1)More consumer savings
One of the biggest advantage of FDI is that it will increase the savings of Indian
consumer as he will get good quality products at much cheaper rates. Consumer savings
are likely to increase 5 to 10% from FDI.
2) Higher remuneration for farmers
Another advantage of FDI is that it will help a lot in improving the miserable condition of
Indian farmers who are committing suicides on daily basis because of lesser return from
their agricultural produce. But FDI will certain help a lot in improving their conditions as
the farmers are going to get 10 to 30 %higher remuneration because of FDI.
3) Increase in employment opportunities
FDI is certainly going to increase the employment opportunities in India by providing
around 3 to 4 million new jobs. Not only this another 4 to 6 million jobs will be created in
logistics, labour etc. because of FDI.
4) Increase in government revenue
Government revenues are certainly going to increase a lot because of FDI. Government
revenues will increase by 25 to 30 billion dollars which is a really big amount. This
government revenue can help a lot in the development of Indian economy.
25. 25
2.2) Impact of increased FDI-
1) Destruction of small entrepreneurs
The biggest fear from FDI is that it is likely to destroy the small entrepreneurs or small
kirana shops as they will not be able to withstand the tough competition of big
entrepreneurs as these entrepreneurs are going to provide all the goods to the consumers
at much lesser prices.
2) Shrinking of jobs
Many critics of FDI are of the view that entry of big foreign chains like Wal-Mart,
Carrefour etc. are not going to generate any jobs in reality in India. At best the jobs will
move from unorganized sector to organized sector while their number will remain the
same or lesser but not more.
3) No real benefit to farmers
Critics of FDI are also of the view that it is a fallacy that the farmers are going to benefit
in any way because of the entry of foreign chains in India rather it will make the Indian
farmers a slave of these big chains & the farmers will entirely be on their mercy. Thus,
FDI is only going to deteriorate the already miserable conditions of Indian farmers.
26. 26
CHAPTER 3
OBJECTIVE & SCOPE
Objectives:
1. To study the trends and pattern of flow of FDI.
2. To assess the determinants of FDI inflows.
3. To evaluate the impact of FDI on the Indian economy.
4. To know the flow of investment in India
Scope -
1. Domestic capital is inadequate for purpose of economic growth.
2. Foreign capital is usually essential, at least as a temporary measure, during the period
when the capital market is in the process of development.
3. Foreign capital usually brings it with other scarce productive factors like technical
knowhow, business expertise and knowledge.
27. 27
CHAPTER 4 –DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS
DATA COLLECTION
In this project secondary data are used.
Secondary data-
is data collected by someone other than the user. Common sources of secondary data for
social science include censuses, organisational records and data collected through
qualitative methodologies or qualitative research. Primary data, by contrast, are collected
by the investigator conducting the research.
Secondary data analysis saves time that would otherwise be spent collecting data and,
particularly in the case of quantitative data, provides larger and higher-quality databases
that would be unfeasible for any individual researcher to collect on their own. In addition,
analysts of social and economic change consider secondary data essential, since it is
impossible to conduct a new survey that can adequately capture past change and/or
developments.
