15. Why INDIA is favourite
destination for FDI ??
Large middle class population has given a big boost
Vast population provides a big market to the foreign
entrepreneurs
India offers a large potential market with a pool of
talented, educated and skilled workforce
Relatively low labour costs
16. CONCLUSION
FDI creating regional disparities it should
be removed
There is nothing wrong in getting foreign
money but depending on FDIs to help you
in crisis is not a good idea at all.
Investment opportunity of USD 500 billion
expected to emerge in India in the next 5
years in major economic sectors of which
USD 250 billion is expected to come from
infrastructure sector alone.
In power sector FDI is expected to
increase .
17. In my view having FDI in India is very necessary. But in
retail industry its not good. Mostly there is unorganized
sector in retail market. Many people will become
unemployed comparing to creating of employment
opportunities. Why we should depend on foreign
country to help our farmers.
