DOING BUSINESS
WITH INDIA
|
| India is the largest democracy and tenth largest economy in the world. India has a federal system of Government with clear demarcation of powers between the Central Government and the State Governments. |
|
| The Indian economy is the fourth largest economy of the world on the basis of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). India’s real GDP growth averaged 7.6% per annum during the period 2002-03 to 2006-07. During 2006-07, real GDP growth accelerated to 9.4% from 9.0 % in 2005-06, more than the 5 to 6% average during the eighties and nineties. Growth in key sectors like infrastructure, services and manufacturing continues at almost 12% per annum. Growth in per capita income accelerated from 7.4% in 2005-06 to 8.4% during 2006-07. Per capita income growth averaged 7.1% per annum during the last four years (2003-2007), more than double the 3.4% per annum recorded during the eighties and nineties. The acceleration of economic activity is being supported by a significant rise in domestic savings and investment, and productivity gains. |
|
| India has a large middle class and 55% of its population is below the age of 25. Over 380 million Indians (72 million households) have an annual household income of over $10,000 (in PPP terms). This is expected to increase to 550 million by 2010. High economic growth and rising per capita income has resulted in high growth in the domestic market, which is the prime growth engine for Indian economy The economic reforms since the early nineties have unleashed a new entrepreneurial spirit creating a vibrant economy supported by rising per capita income. |
|
| Fast growing disposable incomes, increased availability and use of consumer finance and credit cards complement the keenness of the average Indian to adapt to and assimilate global trends. This has led to the creation of a rapidly growing consumer base and one of the world’s largest markets for manufactured goods and services. |
|
| India - with its consistent growth performance and abundant highly skilled manpower provides enormous opportunities for investments. India has the most liberal and transparent policies on foreign direct investment (FDI) among major economies of the world. 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route in all sectors/activities except in few areas, which require prior approval of the Government. Under automatic route, investors are required to only notify the Reserve Bank of India within 30 days of receipt of inward remittances. India is looking for large FDI inflows in the development of infrastructure, technological upgradation of Indian industry through ‘greenfield’ investments in manufacturing, and in projects having the potential for creating employment opportunities on a large scale. Indian government FDI in SEZs during the past 18 months has touched $3 billion. The Indian Government has formally approved 404 SEZs out of which 187 have been notified. SEZs enjoy several tax concessions including income tax exemption for a specified period under the SEZ Act 2005 and subsequent amendments.
|
|
| Government of India accords high priority to development of infrastructure in highways, ports, railways, airports, power, telecom, etc. Government is actively seeking domestic and foreign private investment, for infrastructure sector development. The draft papers on the 11th Five Year Plan of India envisages that 30% of all investments in infrastructure development during the next five year period would be from private sector. The Indian Government is actively pursuing Public Private Partnership (PPPs) to bridge the infrastructure deficit in the country. Several initiatives have been taken to promote PPPs in sectors like power, ports, highways, airports, tourism and urban infrastructure. In India, services sector, as a whole, contributed as much as 68.6 per cent of the overall average growth in GDP between the years 2002-03 and 2006-07.
|
|
| India has liberalized and simplified foreign exchange controls. Rupee is freely convertible on current account. Rupee is almost fully convertible on capital account for non-residents. For FDI- Profits earned, dividends and proceeds out of the sale of investments are fully repatriable; Most of the restrictions for resident Indians on capital account on incomes earned in India have also been removed, on account of huge accretion to foreign exchange reserves of India. |
