Looking forward to buy a couch :p

We will have lot many choices and Indian manufacturers will be quality and price cautious

Yes, one have to have experience of retail and all these years for farmers all these politicians who are agents of these agri market wholesalers

it is good for government tax collection and bad for small and middle class business life.

this will ruin everyone

FDI is always good for indian economy. It not only brings in money, but also technology. It benefits both consumers and produces.

We are again going back to before Independence. We may need to fight for independence in future.

Hope the FDI in retail helps us gets some store which really try to outbeat the existing stores as a matter of prices and consumer might be able to save on his pockets. :-)

West Bengal & Madras had invited and enjoyed FDI almost 300 years back and hence not interested now.

Its bad for retailers and going adverse effect to Indian economy

It`s good for us consumers...competition always works for the betterment of the consumers....it`s high time we get to enjoy world class products and quality..just like the rest of the world does....after all we are a part of the global economy...

If retailers loose business they will close their shops. Then we have to go for long distances to fetch even a small item. It is time consuming

YES we middle class Indians will have access to quality products at offordable price!!!!

FDI in retail is really a grave to Indian Farmers & SME enterprises. It really widen the difference in the distribution of wealth which is the biggest problem in the World. It seems to be sweet initially once they get the monopoly of the sector then they would dictate terms. And its the problem in developed economies also. The money which is distributed among millions on retailers would now go to view organizational hands. Instead Government has arrange proper ware housing and marketing facilities to the farmers which would boost the economy in long term. Its not stock markets or rating which govern the economy, its even distribution and collective growth which defines economy. Dr. Manmohan Singh is a great economist I think he has to think about long term progress than short term good news which in future Graves the life of common people hence the country

benefits to consumer and loss to the politicians
