The concept of Foreign Direct Investment refers to the practice of a company from one particular company making physical investments in another country either through acquisitions or purchase of physical machinery, buildings and/or equipment.

    Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays an extraordinary and growing role in global business. It can provide a firm with new markets and marketing channels, cheaper production facilities, access to new technology, products, skills and financing. For a host country or the foreign firm which receives the investment, it can provide a source of new technologies, capital, processes, products, organizational technologies and management skills, and as such can provide a strong impetus to economic development. Foreign direct investment, in its classic definition, is defined as a company from one country making a physical investment into building a factory in another country. The direct investment in buildings, machinery and equipment is in contrast with making a portfolio investment, which is considered an indirect investment. In recent years, given rapid growth and change in global investment patterns, the definition has been broadened to include the acquisition of a lasting management interest in a company or enterprise outside the investing firm’s home…

    WHAT IS FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT? Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the process whereby residents of one country (the source country) acquire ownership of assets for the purpose of controlling the production, distribution and other activities of a firm in another country (the host country).1 The International Monetary Fund 's Balance of Payments Manual defines FDI as `an investment that is made to acquire a lasting interest in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor, the investor 's purpose being to have an effective voice in the management of the enterprise '. The United Nations 1999 World Investment Report (UNCTAD, 1999) defines FDI as `an investment involving a longterm relationship and reflecting a lasting interest and control of a resident entity in one economy (foreign direct investor or parent enterprise) in an enterprise resident in an economy other than that of the foreign direct investor (FDI enterprise, affiliate enterprise or foreign affiliate) '.2 The term `long-term ' is used in the last definition in order to distinguish FDI from portfolio investment, the latter characterized by being short-term in nature and involving a high turnover of securities.3 The common feature of these definitions lies in terms like `control ' and `controlling interest ', which represent the most important feature that distinguishes FDI from portfolio investment, since a portfolio investor does not seek control or lasting interest. There is no agreement, however, on what constitutes a controlling interest, but most commonly a minimum of 10 per cent shareholding is regarded as allowing the foreign firm to exert a significant influence (potentially or actually exercised) over the key policies of the underlying project. For example, the US Department of Commerce regards a foreign business enterprise as a US foreign `affiliate ' if a single US…

    The opening up of Indian economy for FDI retail could not have come at right time than this. Recently, the Indian economy came under heavy criticism for its rampant corruption, high inflation, high interest rates, and henceforth slower GDP growth projection (Crisil & Moody’s revised forecast to 5.5% for 2012-13) against potential of economy to grow at 9%. These macroeconomic factors have affected the sentiment factors of investment of industry powerhouses leading to vicious cycle of economic slowdown. The Government of India, in an effort to control fiscal deficit to target 5.2%, were reluctant to stretch the discretionary spending/investment to boost the investment sentiments of businesses (so called “ waking up the animal instinct of businesses” by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh). GOI was…
