The Indian Retail industry, currently at $518 billion, has experienced a growth rate of 10.6% between 2010 and 2012 and is expected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2020. Much of this growth is expected to be led by an estimated 25 percent average annual growth in organized retail. The share of organized retail currently stands at 8% of the total retail market. This share is expected to increase to 20% by 2020. This increase is predicted as a consequence of allowing up to 51 percent Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) in multi-brand retail and raise the limit for overseas investment in single-brand retail to 100 percent. The government regulation of minimum FDI of $100 million and maximum share of 51 percent in Multibrand segment implies that the minimum investment that will be available to the market by the foreign investor and its Indian partner together will be more than INR 1000cr.
