What's wrong in the foreign PE Investors buying out stakes in domestic companies in India.  As long as our policies & regulations are in place & robust, we need not worry.  There should not be any worry in terms of such liberalisation.  In this time of recession, if there is rise in such investments, it would be really positive for India.

No. We need to encourage the foreign investment and at the same time we must encourage our companies to expand their network. Our economy is liberalised to a great extent and complete liberalisation or privitasation like situation in US is not good for us at all. We have good policies, regulations and laws and we need no change. The entire world is in recession and there tend to be some correction and they economy will automatically stabilise. Our RBI is doing well and our banks, policies, regualtions are good compared to many in the world. Its unforltunate that there is irrelevant correction in the market and its because of selling and buying by FII's and the ordinary investers not adhering to the fundamental rules of investing. There is a negative sentitment and it rules the entire thing now. We have see the companies who share prices are drastically fallen, but, if you see the final accounts and track record of their companies, its really excellent. So, sentiment rules the entire thing. Its true that there is recession and it affects the market and the profits of almost all the companies may comedown and we have seen that. I believe that SEBI, RBI and the government is doing well when it comes to rules and regulations governing the foreign investment.

FIIs are already at the helm of taking benefit out of the Indian Stock Market. What more can be expected from the three pillars of Indian democracy viz.legislature, executive and judiciary..to have a positive effect on the 'people's market' (retail), which has been allowed FDI to the tune of 51%?Definitely it is a point of concern, because we are yet to exploit our resources fully and finally to reap enough returns that requirement of FDIs is put on to the least. The point needs to be thought upon sincerely and severely.

but there should be a way that FDI investments are not made only to drag the profits out of country. They should Either again reap the benefits(upto some limit) in there business or in SCR. (The issue should not be like pepsi or like that)

Varghese i completely agree with you if you have strict rules and regulations for foreign players to invest in india then it will only effect our economy. Like foreign players are not allowed to invest money in the field of agriculture,boitechnology etc. and why is such rule?

By putting money in these sectors if there is a chance for growth then why not?

govt. must ease the guidelines for foreign investment in our country if they want our country to become a developed nation.

what do you say guys?

Yes, In a falling market like India, if you have a six month rule you can't do a deal. That rule, we expect to be relaxed soon. What i'm trying to say is private equity firms must make an open offer for a further 20 percent if they buy more than 15 percent of a company's shares. Such rules are meant to protect minority shareholders.

" Slow and Steady Wins the race"

This theory, Which India follows, I would say, would definitely help create a niche. The economists obviously know the benefits of Foreign funds, to the economy, but how can they forget the basics, higher the return implies higher the risk. Slowly climbing up with secure policies and regulations, is better than climbing at fast pace and falling at the same fast pace.We should not forget that due to these policies and strong framework India has been less effected in the recession times, as compared to US and the states. Globalization and liberalization is important but cautiously moving with the investments is also important, so as to move in a balanced way, leading to long term growth and development.

Imagine a scale where on one side you have US economy catering to 25 to 30% needs of the world and in the other we have the EU, Ourselves, China and other asain giants. When the tilt on US is down (current scenario) it is very automatic that the other side goes in the reverse direction. Right now on the UP!

It is natural by the laws of balance that when one economy is down the others should sieze this opportunity and push their products in the open market for the the world to use and experience. Other growing economies should put that extra effort to push themselves and make their presence visible. Only then will a balance be struck tilting the scales to once again to balance the economical equation! Its a very natural phenomenon, when there is an empty space either rain water will find it as catchment and start accumulating or the builders will start building!!

So I would say allow investments from foreign investors judiciously but do not deliberate encouragement!

Cautious liberalisation is what has kept us going.I am sure you know that most of the fx reserves of China is invested in American Treasury Bonds. We have to build our reserves assiduously and use them judiciously. Blind FDI invitations can trigger overnight withdrawals on sensitive issues for example terrorism around our neighbours.

I agree with the views of Mr Durga Rao. When International oil prices soared to as high as USD 147 per barrel  few months ago, the forex reserves assiduously built by RBI came in very handy for making dollars available in our forex market. Bulk of the forex reserves came to us from FDI and FII. Hence the role of foreign investment can not  be ignored.In case of FII investments the regulators should be careful in screening the prospective investors and take steps to prevent the money laundering by foreign firms through the FII - hedge funds - route. Scope of FDI should be expanded when the recessionary phase eases.
