With growing urbanisation, 30% of the Indian population currently is city-dwelling and by 2050, the percentage is expected to touch 55%2. Indian economy has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has consistently demonstrated a positive growth rate averaging just below 9% over the last five-years3. With the onset of global recession, India’s economy did suffer a visible impact. By the third quarter of 2008, India felt the tremors of the economic meltdown. However, in spite of the meltdown, the estimated Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) for 2010 – 11 was INR 48,792 billion4 (USD 1,084 billion5) as compared to INR 44,937 billion (USD 998 billion) for 2009 – 10 (+8.6% year on year). The GDP for April, 2010 – December, 2010 was at INR 35,534 billion (USD 789 billion) as compared to INR 32,713 billion (USD 726 billion) for April, 2009 – December, 2009 (8.6% year on year). The projected growth rate of GDP for 2011 – 12 estimated at 9%6 suggests that domestic momentum remains strong for India. There are several progressive indicators for the economy at large, including positive estimates for the GDP, exports and Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”) for the year ahead. India’s exports during the year 2010-11 amounted to USD 245.8 billion (provisional), as compared to USD 178.7 billion recorded during 2009-10. India’s imports during 2010-11 stood at USD 350.7 billion (provisional), as compared to USD 288.3 billion during 2009-10. Overall, trade deficit for 2010- 11 amounted to USD 104.9 billion (provisional), as compared to USD 109.6 billion during 2009-10. In line with the rebound in global economic activity and trade, India’s exports have registered positive growth rates since November 20097. India’s foreign exchange reserves increased to USD 279.1 billion by March 2010, from USD 252.0 billion as on March 2009 and have further increased to USD 294.0 billion as at January 7, 2011. In the recent times, India has entered into several Free Trade Agreements and Preferential Trade Agreements like South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA), Global System of Trade Preferences (GSTP), Asia Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA), India-ASEAN FTA and others, with the objective of promoting trade with many countries and regional groupings of which Commonwealth countries are members8. As per the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, the country registered exports of USD 164.7 billion (INR 7,516 billion ) during the year April – December, 2010 registering a growth of 29.5% in Dollar terms and 23.4% in Rupee terms over the same period last year9. The Indian banks too have emerged stronger and have made it to the list of ‘Top 500 Global Financial Brands 2009’ with the biggest gainer being HDFC Bank, besides 13 government-run, new entrants. Indian banks have been considered safe and secure with net average NPA of 1% in 2009-10. The Average Capital Adequacy Ratio (“CAR”) of private sector banks improved from 15.23% in FY 2008-2009 to 17.45% in 2009-1010, indicating a strong performance by the Indian banking sector. The Indian Economy is growing at a faster pace after the recent recession; however the rising global commodity and crude oil prices would have an adverse affect on the inflation and trade deficit. Indian economy being second fastest growing economy in Asia with a well established banking system and vibrant trade links, provides a great opportunity for investment in India. 2 Investment Scenario in India According to the World Investment Report 2010, global investment inflows are expected to reach over INR 54 trillion \ (USD 1.2 trillion), INR 58.5–67.5 trillion (USD 1.3–1.5 trillion), and INR 72–90 trillion (USD 1.6-2 trillion) by 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. However, majority of the investments are expected to be in the services and primary sectors. According to United Nations Conference on Trade And Development World Investment Prospects Survey 2009 - 2011, India ranked 3rd among global FDI destinations after China and United States (“US”) in 2009, and is expected to remain among the top five most attractive destinations for international investors during 2010-11. Ernst and Young’s 2010 European Attractiveness Survey is another study that ranks India in the top five, where India is the fourth most attractive FDI destination in 2010.
