Retail FDI to Benefit Middlemen, Says Basu
Keywords:
Tags:
The Indian government's chief economic advisor, Kaushik Basu, says the opening up of India's retail sector would have benefitted everyone including middle traders. This would happen because the retail sector would go through a vast expansion creating room for more players even though the per unit margin from products would go down. Experts say the infusion of new technologies and investment in India's supply chain and cold storage setup would help reduce food prices and inflation. Basu made the comments at the launching of the New Oxford Companion to Economics in India in Feb 2012. Basu is co-editor and it has contributions from Ratan Tata, Pranab Mukherjee, and Nandan Nilekhani.
Competitive liberalization with states taking the lead for development in India
12/16/2011
Indian government policy is shifting to state led development as coalition governments in New Delhi are unable to create the consensus for needed decisions. An example is the failure to provide clear direction for foreign investment in India's retail sector in 2011-2012 because of disagreements with minority region based parties in the ruling coalition government of Manmohan Singh. Decisons were finally taken with a change in coalition partners after a decline in foreign investment and large deficits forced the government to act.

05/03/2009
Mamata Banerjee won elections in W. Bengal, removing the Communist party from control in the state after 25 years. The ruling coaltiion government in India depended on her support in 2012. This also limited its flexibility because of Banerjee's opposition to opening up the retail sector to foreign investment. After the withdrawal of support of Banerjee's West Bengal party, and withdrawal of support from the DMK party in Tamilnadu over the Sri Lankan issue, the Congress party government in India depends on support from the Samajwadi party in Uttar Pradesh for its majority in parliament.

Grocery retailing in India: A long way from the supermarket
Economist 10/17/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
