And the prospect \n                of strong opposition from within the ruling coalition may also \n                mean the measures have to be abandoned before they have a chance \n                to get off the ground.<\/p>\n              <p>After all, relaxation of foreign direct investment (FDI) rules \n                in India has long been a contentious issue, and it was just nine \n                months ago that a similar plan was rolled back in the face of \n                fierce opposition.<\/p>\n              <p>At the time, the government was able to ratify its decision allow \n                up to 100% FDI in single-brand retail &#8211; but was forced to suspend \n                plans to extend FDI to 51% in multi-brand retailers.<\/p>\n              <p>It now hopes the latest raft of reforms settle outstanding concerns \n                about easing investment restrictions.<\/p>\n              <p>Under the proposed new rules, multi-brand retailers such as Wal-Mart, \n                Tesco and Carrefour will be allowed to own a 51% stake in supermarkets, \n                but with conditions that include:<\/p>\n              <ul>\n                <li>Opening stores only in those states that have agreed to allow \n                  FDI in multi-brand retail;<br>\n                <\/li>\n                <li>Opening stores only in cities with a population of more than \n                  1m or, in states with no such cities, as agreed with individual \n                  state governments;<br>\n                <\/li>\n                <li>Investing a minimum of US$100m;<br>\n                <\/li>\n                <li>Putting at least half of the total investment in &#8216;back-end \n                  infrastructure&#8217; within three years, including manufacturing, \n                  distribution, design, quality control, packaging, logistics, \n                  storage, warehousing; and<br>\n                <\/li>\n                <li>Sourcing at least 30% of merchandise domestically, regardless \n                  of the size of the vendor.<br>\n                <\/li>\n              <\/ul>\n              <p>This last point also applies to single-brand operations in India. \n                At the moment, if they have more than 51% foreign investment, \n                at least 30% of merchandise must be sourced from small and mid-sized \n                Indian companies, artisans and craftsman.<\/p>\n              <p><b>Who stands to benefit?<\/b><br>\n              <\/p>\n              <p>The changes would enable single-brand companies to take complete \n                control of their Indian businesses, as long as 30% or more of \n                the merchandise on sale is already sourced locally.<\/p>\n              <p>It&#8217;s an attractive market, since India&#8217;s single-brand retail \n                sector is valued at roughly $7bn, and is expected to reach $20-25bn \n                in value over the next five years. The country also boasts a growing \n                population, including 300m individuals identified as &#8216;middle-class&#8217; \n                with a purchasing parity equivalent of $30,000\/year.<\/p>\n              <p><b>As retail consultancy Third Eyesight notes, this is an important \n                change and &#8220;opens up possibilities of sourcing from the retailers&#8217; \n                current supplier base that may comprise of larger companies.&#8221; \n                It may also lead to the growth of Indian companies who benefit \n                from being plugged into the retailers&#8217; global supply chains.<\/b><\/p>\n              <p><b>However, the management consultancy also points out that, \n                conversely, for multi-brand retailers the sourcing stipulation \n                remains a significant barrier, &#8220;since neither the retailer \n                nor the SME vendor base would be able to draw upon efficiencies \n                of scale with growth of the retailer&#8217;s business in India, nor \n                benefit significantly from any export opportunities presented \n                by the retailer.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n              <p><b>It also notes that the local sourcing requirement will remain \n                a barrier for brands that do not source any significant volumes \n                from India.<\/b><\/p>\n              <p><b>The changes would also mark a milestone for international \n                retailers of multi-brand products who have until now been restricted \n                to cash and carry formats and &#8220;back-end&#8221; supply businesses. \n                &#8220;This is a significant motivator for global retailers who \n                are looking at future decades of expansion,&#8221; Third Eyesight \n                says.<\/b><\/p>\n              <p>The Washington based US-India Business Council (USIBC) describes \n                the government as &#8220;courageous&#8221; for making another attempt \n                to push through the reforms, and says it &#8220;serves as an assurance \n                to investors that its economic liberalisation agenda is back on \n                track.&#8221;<\/p>\n              <p>&#8220;India&#8217;s supply chain infrastructure will see improved efficiencies \n                and expertise, consumers will benefit from increased quality and \n                choice, and inflation and rising food costs will be tamed,&#8221; \n                says Ron Somers, president of USIBC. &#8220;These big bang reforms \n                send a crystal clear signal that India is open for business.&#8221;<\/p>\n              <p>Meanwhile, the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) \n                hails the decision for encouraging organised retailing and its \n                centralised procurement and improved supply chain management. \n                This, in turn, will reduce costs for businesses and prices for \n                consumers, especially for textiles, and push up consumption,&#8221; \n                its chairman SV Arumugam claims.<\/p>\n              <p>The Apparel Export promotion Council (AEPC) agrees that the move \n                &#8220;will give a much-needed fillip to the entire textiles industry.&#8221; \n                Its chairman, Dr A Sakthivel, notes employment opportunities, \n                increased manufacturing activity and a rise in demand for cotton \n                products and yarn are among the likely benefits.<\/p>\n              <p>&#8220;Domestic demand is going to pick up,&#8221; he enthuses, \n                adding: &#8220;It will lead to easing of inflation in the country \n                and small and medium enterprises will also benefit out of this \n                policy change.
