Indicative List of International Players and their Chosen Entry Route
Related Liberalizations for Indian Retailing
 Value added tax (VAT) has been introduced and implemented in most states and territories, and across most
industry verticals (except a few like textiles) to resolve the multiple taxation issues and maintain uniform
prices across geographies. Octroi has been abolished in many states to further trade in the retail sector.
 Labor laws in India are under the scanner for higher liberalization, with government relaxing certain norms or
permitting flexibility in the laws for emerging retail hubs such as Bangalore and Hyderabad. Laws like
restriction on working hours, mandatory closure of the store once a week etc. are being modified to suit the
modern retailing context, while ensuring no adverse impact on the benefits for employees.

16. Policy and Regulatory Framework
Related Liberalizations for Indian Retailing
 Efforts are being made by the government to reduce impediments by introducing a single-window clearance
mechanism. This would reduce the entry and establishment timelines for new players in the market and
facilitate timely and hassle free approvals.
 Government is expected to adopt a calibrated approach in land and rent reforms to improve the real estate
regulatory environment and facilitate easy access to retail space for international investors.
 Government is releasing large tracts of undeveloped land for retail development in the Mumbai and NCR
regions. This is soon to be followed by other State Governments, with associated benefits for the Governments in
the form of access to impressive revenues from sale of land and tax collection from retail developments.
 Solutions to problems related to lease rentals and pro-tenancy laws, which significantly deter international
investors, are being pursued by the Government, with initiatives such as Special Economic Zones (SEZs),
allotment of Government controlled land etc.
 The Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Act (APMC), which curtails direct sourcing of agricultural
produce (grocery, food grains etc) is proposed to be amended soon, with a Draft Model Act being legislated by
the Government. The new act promotes direct marketing to corporates by farmers, setting up of
farmers’/consumers’ market and contract farming.
 Government is encouraging contract farming, as it provides incentives to both the farmers and the corporate
retailers, with the former gaining access to a larger market and the latter to a direct raw material procurement
source at competitive prices. The Government is currently pursuing development and modernization of eight
strategically located “mandis” with availability of cold storage, sorting and grading facilities.
