Introduction
The economy of India is the eleventh largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and
the fourth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following strong economic reforms
from the socialist inspired economy of a post-independence Indian nation, the country
began to develop a fast-paced economic growth, as free market principles were initiated
in 1990 for international competition and foreign investment. India is an emerging
economic power with a very large pool of human and natural resources, and a growing
large pool of skilled professionals. Economists predict that by 2020, India will be among
the leading economies of the world.
India has witnessed unprecedented levels of economic expansion, along with countries
like China, Russia, Mexico and Brazil. India, being a cost effective and labor intensive
economy, has benefited immensely from outsourcing of work from developed countries,
and a strong manufacturing and export oriented industrial framework. With the
economic pace picking up, global commodity prices have staged a comeback from their
lows and global trade has also seen healthy growth over the last two years.
India was under social democratic-based policies from 1947 to 1991. The economy was
characterized by extensive regulation, protectionism, public ownership, pervasive
corruption and slow growth. Since 1991, continuing economic liberalization has moved
the country toward a market-based economy. A revival of economic reforms and better
economic policy in 2000s accelerated India's economic growth rate. In recent years,
Indian cities have continued to liberalize business regulations. By 2008, India had
established itself as the world's second-fastest growing major economy. But the year
2009 was not really good for the Indian equity market and the whole economy was also
going into recession

Economic Prospects for 2010
The year 2009 saw a significant slowdown in India's GDP growth rate to 6.8% as well as
the return of a large projected fiscal deficit of 6.8% of GDP which would be among the
highest in the world. The global economy seems to be recovering after the recent
economic shock. The Indian economy, however, was hit in the latter part of the global
recession and the real economic growth witnessed a sharp fall, followed by lower
exports, lower capital outflow and corporate restructuring. It is expected that the global
economies will continue to sustain in the short-term, as the effect of stimulus programs
is yet to bear fruit and tax cuts are working their way through the system in 2010. Due to
the strong position of liquidity in the market, large corporations now have access to
capital in the corporate credit markets.
India's Economic Outlook Projection
Year 2007 2008 2009 2010
GDP Growth 9.40% 7.30% 5.40% 8.00%
CPI 6.40% 9.30% 5.50% 4.90%
In order to sustain economic growth during the time of the worst recession, government
authorities in India have announced the stimulus packages to prop up economic growth.
To finance the stimulus packages, the Indian government has raised over $100 billion
over the last four quarters in a way to finance the stimulus package. The country’s
public debt, according to the RBI, has surged to over 50% of the total GDP and the RBI
has started printing new currency notes.

India is a fascinating country from an economic standpoint because it is so diverse. In
India, you see many of the more traditional industries such as village farming, fishing,
and handicrafts that are blended with modern sectors such as telecommunications,
transportation, and tourism. Today, nearly 50% of the people work in the agriculture,
fisheries, and farming sectors and with the Progressive Alliance or UPA, India’s
government has been able to boost the rural economy by developing basic facilities and
infrastructure. With this, the quality of life for the poor people living and working in rural
areas has improved significantly.
Some of the other areas that have changed to improve India’s economy includes the
government reducing controls on foreign imports and exports, loosening controls for
investments, and allowing higher limits for Foreign Direct Investment in a few of the
primary sectors. While this country has experienced growth and economic
improvements, fast tariff growth in some of the more sensitive sectors to include
agriculture, fisheries, and farming could cause challenges for foreign access to the
country’s huge and expanding market.
However, the service sector is greatly expanding and has started to assume an
increasingly important role. The fact that the Indian speaking population in India is
growing by the day means that India has become a hub of outsourcing activities for
some of the major economies of the world including the United Kingdom and the United
States. Outsourcing to India has been primarily in the areas of technical support and
customer services.
Other areas where India is expected to make progress include manufacturing,
construction of ships, aviation, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, tourism,
nanotechnology, telecommunications and retailing. Growth rates in these sectors are
expected to increase dramatically.

2009 5.80 6.00 8.60 6.50

India's economy expanded 8.8% in the second quarter from a year earlier, compared to
an 8.6% on-year expansion in the first, lifted by robust activity in manufacturing.
Agricultural output along with strong development in the Industrial and Mining sector
has helped to boost the Indian economy. Agricultural output rose 2.8 per cent y-o-y
thanks to improved harvests. Industrial production increased by 12% and in the mining
sector by 9%.
However, in spite of strong supply data, private consumption slumped to 0.3% y-o-y in
Q2 from 2.6% in Q1, fixed investment has dropped to 3.7% from 17.7%, government
consumption growth was negative and both export and import growth contracted.
The Reserve Bank of India has stated that it had seen an annual growth of 8.5%
steadily. The main priority of the Reserve Bank is to curb the ongoing inflation,
which peaked at 11% last month. Interest rates have been increased by the banks to
contain the inflation, but it could slow down the growth of the Indian economy in the
coming months. But even though there has been a rise in the interest rates there hasn’t
been much change in the distribution of loans, the Indian customer is hardly affected
with the hiked interest rates. This means that in spite of the mounting inflation, we will
see a growth in the investment by the people.
Further, the World Bank has projected an 8 per cent growth for India in 2010,
which will make it the fastest-growing economy for the first time, overtaking China‘s
expected 7.7 per cent growth. Recently, Asian Development Board has forecasted that

Indian economy will grow at a rate of 8.7% in FY11 vs. 8.5% this year driven by
domestic demand, company profits and favorable financial conditions.
Mergers and Acquisitions in India
Till recent past, the incidence of Indian entrepreneurs acquiring foreign enterprises was
not so common. The situation has undergone a sea change in the last couple of years.
Acquisition of foreign companies by the Indian businesses has been the latest trend in
the Indian corporate sector. The practice of mergers and acquisitions has attained
considerable significance in the contemporary corporate scenario which is broadly used
for reorganizing the business entities. Indian industries were exposed to plethora of
challenges both nationally and internationally, since the introduction of Indian economic
reform in 1991. The cut-throat competition in international market compelled the Indian
firms to opt for mergers and acquisitions strategies, making it a vital premeditated
option. The factors responsible for making the merger and acquisition deals favorable in
India are:
Dynamic government policies
Corporate investments in industry
Economic stability
“Ready to experiment” attitude of Indian industrialists
The Indian IT and ITES sectors have already proved their potential in the global market.
The other Indian sectors like pharmaceuticals telecommunications, steel, construction,
etc are also following the same trend. The increased participation of the Indian
companies in the global corporate sector has further facilitated the merger and

Acquisition activities in India. In spite of the massive downturn in 2009,
the future of M&A deals in India looks promising. Indian telecom major Bharti Airtel is all
set to merge with its South African counterpart MTN, with a deal worth USD 23 billion.

The above data evidently shows that Indian companies have grown really quick and
provides sufficient opportunity to the FIIs and FDIs to invest their money in the Indian
companies which has resulted in the rapid growth of our economy.
FII Investment in India
One of the factors responsible for the tremendous growth of the Indian economy has
been its booming foreign trade. Through or previous report we have tried to establish
the fact that the FIIs are reportedly increasing their investment in Indian equity market.
The investment by the FIIs has helped boost the growth of our Indian companies by
providing them the capital they require for carrying out their long term projects. The
investment by our companies, in their respective sectors has helped in the progress of
our Indian economy.
FDI Investment in India
Improving global sentiment and a growing conducive environment in India are
increasingly facilitating foreign investors’ role in the country currently. Several other
factors being attributed to the revival in FDI in the country include liberal investment
policies and reforms, innovative and technologically advanced products being
manufactured in India and low cost and effective solutions.
India has been ranked at the third place in global foreign direct investments, following
the economic meltdown, and will continue to remain among the top five attractive
destinations for international investors during the next two years, according to UNCTAD.
The Indian retail market, which is the fifth largest retail destination globally, has been
ranked the most attractive emerging market for investment in the retail sector by A T

Kearney's annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI), in 2009. A recent Ernst &
Young study predicts Mumbai and Bangalore to be the next global centers of
investment along with Shanghai.
The Rural India Growth Story
The Indian growth story is spreading to the rural and semi-urban areas as well. The next
phase of growth is expected to come from rural markets with rural India accounting for
almost half of the domestic retail market, valued over US$ 300 billion. Rural India is set
to witness an economic boom, with per capita income having grown by 50 per cent over
the last 10 years, mainly on account of rising commodity prices and improved
productivity. Development of basic infrastructure, generation of employment guarantee
schemes, better information services and access to funding are also bringing prosperity
to rural households.
Advantages to India
According to the World Fact Book, India is among the world's youngest nations with
a median age of 25 years as compared to 43 in Japan and 36 in USA. Of the
BRIC—Brazil, Russia, India and China—countries, India is projected to stay the
youngest with its working-age population estimated to rise to 70 per cent of the total
demographic by 2030, the largest in the world. India will see 70 million new entrants
to its workforce over the next 5 years.
India has the second largest area of arable land in the world, making it one of the
world's largest food producers. Over 200 million tonnes of food grains are produced
annually. India is the world's largest producer of milk (100 million tonnes per annum),
sugarcane (315 million tonnes per annum) and tea (930 million kg per annum) and
the second largest producer of rice, fruit and vegetables.

With the largest number of listed companies - 10,000 across 23 stock exchanges,
India has the third largest investor base in the world.
India's healthy banking system with a network of 70,000 branches is among the
largest in the world.
According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), India's consumer
market will be the world's fifth largest (from twelfth) in the world by 2025 and India's
middle class will swell by over ten times from its current size of 50 million to 583
million people by 2025.
India, which recorded production of 22.14 million tonne of steel during April-August
2009, is likely to emerge as the world's third largest steel producer in the current
year.
India continues to be the most preferred destination—among 50 top countries—for
companies looking to offshore their information technology (IT) and back-office
functions, according to global management consultancy, AT Kearney.
The Indian stock markets have risen to be amongst the best performers globally
across the emerging and developed markets in 2009 year-to-date, according to an
analytical study by MSCI indices.
India has reclaimed its position as the most attractive destination for global retailers
despite the downturn, according to the Global Retail Development Index (GRDI)
brought out by US-based global management consulting firm, A T Kearney.
Growth potential
According to the CII Ernst & Young report titled 'India 2012: Telecom growth
continues,' India's telecom services industry revenues are projected to reach US$ 54
billion in 2012, up from US$ 31 billion in 2008. The Indian telecom industry

Registered the highest number of subscriber additions at 15.84 million in March
2009, setting a global record.
A McKinsey report, 'The rise of Indian Consumer Market', estimates that the Indian
consumer market is likely to grow four times by 2025, which is currently valued at
US$ 511 billion.
India ranks among the top 12 producers of manufacturing value added (MVA)—
witnessing an increase of 12.3 per cent in its MVA output in 2005-07 as against 6.9
per cent in 2000-05—according to the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO).
In textiles, the country is ranked fourth, while in electrical machinery and apparatus it
is ranked fifth. It holds sixth position in the basic metals category; seventh in
chemicals and chemical products; 10th in leather, leather products, refined
petroleum products and nuclear fuel; twelfth in machinery and equipment and motor
vehicles.
In a development slated to enhance India's macroeconomic health as well as energy
security, Reliance Industries (RIL) has commenced natural gas production from its
D-6 block in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin.
India has a market value of US$ 270.98 billion in low-carbon and environmental
goods & services (LCEGS). With a 6 per cent share of the US$ 4.32 trillion global
market, the country is tied with Japan at the third position.
PE players are planning to raise funds for the infrastructure sector. Presently,
around US$ 1.42 billion is being raised by India-dedicated infrastructure funds,
according to data released by Preqin, a global firm that tracks PE and alternative
assets.
Infrastructure, including roads, power, highways, airports, ports and railways, has

With the availability of the 3G spectrum, about 275 million Indian subscribers will use
3G-enabled services, and the number of 3G-enabled handsets will reach close to
395 million by 2013-end.
India & China: A Comparison
Ten years ago, it was unthinkable to compare China with India. The emergence of India
and China as major global players heralds new realities. Both countries have
transformed the global political architecture increasingly shifting power from West to the
East. The question issue here is the nature of the India’s economic growth and its
potentials to outperform China.
According to Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), India is the second largest growing
economy after China. But EIU forecasts that India will surpass China as the fasted
growing major economy by 2018. And as against the estimation of the Indian
government which has projected the Indian economy to grow by 7.2 percent this fiscal,
EIU has estimated the growth to be 7.7 percent. The growth for the next five years is
estimated to be on the average of eight percent as against the 9 percent in the year
2011-2012.
Two years ago the view that India might have a more competitive economy than China
was met with incredulity. To-day comparison of the two countries offers valuable
insights for the global economy. A fundamental distinction is that China’s growth stems
from resource accumulation while India’s is rooted in increasing efficiency.

China’s economic superpower ambition has flaws, including graft and waste. India, in
contrast, enjoys many hidden, long-term advantages. Although India’s literacy rate is
much lower than China’s, its technical and management institutes are far better than
such schools in China. It is estimated that that only 10 per cent of Chinese engineers
have the skills required to work in a global company, while the comparable number for
India is 25 per cent.

This table clearly shows that India is the Second fastest budding economy in terms
of GDP growth rate. India’s interest rates are lowest among the BRIC countries
making it easier for the people to borrow money in India. The money borrowed
eventually gets invested and thus help in boosting the Indian economy.
Unemployment rate in India is less than United States as well as Europe and is
giving close competition to United Kingdom.
