The government has no plan to further liberalize foreign investment in retail sector, the commerce and industry minister said.India, currently, does not permit foreign direct investment (FDI) in multiple-brand retailers, restricting global firms like Wal-Mart Stores and Carrefour from selling directly to customers in the country. Foreign holdings in single-branded retailers are capped at 51%.
It has directed them to create a “suitable mechanism” to hold periodic scrutiny against violation of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The move comes after it was found that some foreign retail companies or joint ventures, which had permission to undertake only “cash & carry wholesale trading” were violating the rules. They were apparently selling directly for personal consumption, which is prohibited. It was also noticed that companies that were allowed to operate single-brand retail outlets sold multiple brands in violation of permission.
To encourage foreign portfolio investment, the Finance Ministry has set up a working group for suggesting changes in the existing policy on foreign capital inflows by FIIs, NRIs and venture capital funds. The 16-member group on portfolio investments, to be headed by UTI MF CMD U K Sinha, will also review the current arrangements relating to participatory notes– instruments through which unregistered foreign entities invest in Indian stock markets, sources said.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) under the ministry of commerce and industry has disagreed with the Union finance ministry’s view that there is need to regulate investment in sectors with foreign investment caps in respect of those companies which despite being technically “owned and controlled by Indians” as defined in Press Note 2, still leave scope for indirect foreign control.
