India as an emerging Market.


                                   
India,world biggest market for investment is the favorite destination for the most of the developed nation in the 21st century.But the scenario was quite different till 1990,when Indian market were totally dominated by the closed economy,most of the industry were run on behalf of the government. Serving people was the main idea by the government instead of making profit,but the burden of Import over negligible export forces Indian government to open its economy. 



Thanks to the former finance minister and Prime minister of India, Mr Manmohan Singh who helped Indian economy in successful  averting the  economic crisis  , he as a Finance Minister carried out several structural reforms that liberalized India's economy .Since 1991 Indian market has progressed so much that , today every nation look for an opportunity of investment in the Indian market. 


Current situation of Indian market.
New government has framed different policies for reducing the time and hustle free investment  in India. Modi government always talk about less paper work and more use of technology so that it reduces effort and make investor comfortable while investing in India,they feel safe and confident about their investment in India. The Indian government’s favorable policy regime and robust business environment have ensured that foreign capital keeps flowing into the country. The government has taken many initiatives in recent years such as relaxing FDI norms across sectors such as defence, PSU oil refineries, telecom, power exchanges, and stock exchanges, among others. Recent visit of India's new prime minister Modi to different nation has attracted a lot of foreign investments across the whole world. 

According to Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the total FDI inflows soared by 24.5 per cent to US$ 44.9 billion during FY2015, as compared to US$ 36.0 billion in FY2014. FDI into India through the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) route shot up by 26 per cent to US$ 31.9 billion in the year FY2015 as against US$ 25.3 billion in the previous year, indicating that government's effort to improve ease of doing business and relaxation in FDI norms is yielding results .India received the maximum FDI equity inflows from Mauritius at US$ 9.03 billion, followed by Singapore (US$ 6.74 billion), Netherlands (US$ 3.43 billion), Japan (US$ 2.08 billion) and the US (US$ 1.82 billion),during FY2015. Healthy inflow of foreign investments into the country helped India’s balance of payments (BoP) situation and stabilized the value of rupee.


Some of the  significant FDI announcements are as follows:
  • Swedish home furnishing brand Ikea has made a long-term plan of opening 25 stores in India by making an investment worth Rs 12,500 crore (US$ 1.9 billion).

India emerges top FDI destination leaving behind China, US in 2015. India has emerged as the most favored destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2015 so far, outpacing China and the US, London-based business daily Financial Times (FT) said in a report on Tuesday. A ranking of top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US


India is progressing at a faster rate  but still it lacks in many sectors as compared to other nations markets especially China. The problem is not only be the deficiencies in policy and infrastructure but also the  low level of expenditure on marketing and branding of products, Global Value Chain, Exchange rate policy and social politics. India need to address these factors one by one and make sure , Indian market grows in such a way that every section of Indian society can be benefited from that , development of ever section of society make nation prosperous and healthy.

India has to go a long way and Indian market must take Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Indian market has  lot of potential only need is to proper facility and motorization of Indian market.
