FDI IN RAJASTHAN
Types of FDI:
Greenfield investment: direct investment in new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. Greenfield investments are the primary target of a host nation’s promotional efforts because they create new production capacity and jobs, transfer technology and know-how, and can lead to linkages to the global marketplace. Greenfield investments are the principal mode of investing in developing countries.
Mergers and Acquisitions: occur when a transfer of existing assets from local firms to foreign firms takes place. Cross-border mergers occur when the assets and operation of firms from different countries are combined to establish a new legal entity. Cross-border acquisitions occur when the control of assets and operations is transferred from a local to a foreign company, with the local company becoming an affiliate of the foreign company. Mergers and acquisitions are the principal mode of investing in developed countries.

Introduction of Indian Market

Investment in Indian market
India, among the European investors, is believed to be a good investment despite political uncertainty, bureaucratic hassles, shortages of power and infrastructural deficiencies. India presents a vast potential for overseas investment and is actively encouraging the entrance of foreign players into the market. No company, of any size, aspiring to be a global player can, for long ignores this country which is expected to become one of the top three emerging economies.
Success in India
Success in India will depend on the correct estimation of the country's potential, underestimation of its complexity or overestimation of its possibilities can lead to failure. While calculating, due consideration should be given to the factor of the inherent difficulties and uncertainties of functioning in the Indian system.Entering India's marketplace requires a well-designed plan backed by serious thought and careful research. For those who take the time and look to India as an opportunity for long-term growth, not short-term profit- the trip will be well worth the effort.
Market potential
India is the fifth largest economy in the world (ranking above France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Russia) and has the third largest GDP in the entire continent of Asia. It is also the second largest among emerging nations. (These indicators are based on purchasing power parity.) India is also one of the few markets in the world which offers high prospects for growth and earning potential in practically all areas of business.Yet, despite the practically unlimited possibilities in India for overseas businesses, the world's most populous democracy has, until fairly recently, failed to get the kind of enthusiastic attention generated by other emerging economies such as China.
Lack of enthusiasm among investors
The reason being, after independence from Britain 50 years ago, India developed a highly protected, semi-socialist autarkic economy. Structural and bureaucratic impediments were vigorously fostered, along with a distrust of foreign business. Even as today the climate in India has seen a seachange, smashing barriers and actively seeking foreign investment, many companies still see it as a difficult market. India is rightfully quoted to be an incomparable country and is both frustrating and challenging at the same time. Foreign investors should be prepared to take India as it is with all of its difficulties, contradictions and challenges.
Developing a basic understanding or potential of the Indian market, envisaging and developing a Market Entry Strategy and implementing these strategies when actually entering the market are three basic steps to make a successful entry into India.
Developing a basic understanding or potential of the Indian market
The Indian middle class is large and growing; wages are low; many workers are well educated and speak English; investors are optimistic and local stocks are up; despite political turmoil, the country presses on with economic reforms.But there is still cause for worries-


Infrastructural Hassles
The rapid economic growth of the last few years has put heavy stress on India's infrastructural facilities. The projections of further expansion in key areas could snap the already strained lines of transportation unless massive programs of expansion and modernization are put in place. Problems include power demand shortfall, port traffic capacity mismatch, poor road conditions (only half of the country's roads are surfaced), low telephone penetration (1.4% of population).
Indian Bureaucracy
Although the Indian government is well aware of the need for reform and is pushing ahead in this area, business still has to deal with an inefficient and sometimes still slow-moving bureaucracy.
Diverse Market
The Indian market is widely diverse. The country has 17 official languages, 6 major religions, and ethnic diversity as wide as all of Europe. Thus, tastes and preferences differ greatly among sections of consumers.
Therefore, it is advisable to develop a good understanding of the Indian market and overall economy before taking the plunge. Research firms in India can provide the information to determine how, when and where to enter the market. There are also companies which can guide the foreign firm through the entry process from beginning to end --performing the requisite research, assisting with configuration of the project, helping develop Indian partners and financing, finding the land or ready premises, and pushing through the paperwork required.
Developing up-front takes:
Market Study
Is there a need for the products/services/technology? What is the probable market for the product/service? Where is the market located? Which mix of products and services will find the most acceptability and be the most likely to generate sales? What distribution and sales channels are available? What costs will be involved? Who is the competi
Check on Economic Policies
The general economic direction in India is toward liberalization and globalization. But the process is slow. Before jumping into the market, it is necessary to discover whether government policies exist relating to the particular area of business and if there are political concerns which should be taken into account.








Foreign Direct Investment
Introduction
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is permited as under the following forms of investments.
1. Through financial collaborations.
2. Through joint ventures and technical collaborations.
3. Through capital markets via Euro issues.
4. Through private placements or preferential allotments.

Forbidden Territories: FDI is not permitted in the following industrial sectors:
1. Arms and ammunition.
2. Atomic Energy.
3. Railway Transport.
4. Coal and lignite.
5. Mining of iron, manganese, chrome, gypsum, sulphur, gold, diamonds, copper, zinc.
Foreign Investment through GDRs (Euro Issues) Foreign Investment through GDRs is treated as Foreign Direct Investment Indian companies are allowed to raise equity capital in the international market through the issue of Global Depository Receipt (GDRs). GDRs are designated in dollars and are not subject to any ceilings on investment. An applicant company seeking Government's approval in this regard should have consistent track record for good performance (financial or otherwise) for a minimum period of 3 years. This condition would be relaxed for infrastructure projects such as power generation, telecommunication, petroleum exploration and refining, ports, airports and roads. Clearance from FIPB There is no restriction on the number of Euro-issue to be floated by a company or a group of companies in the financial year . A company engaged in the manufacture of items covered under Annex-III of the New Industrial Policy whose direct foreign investment after a proposed Euro issue is likely to exceed 51% or which is implementing a project not contained in Annex-III, would need to obtain prior FIPB clearance before seeking final approval from Ministry of Finance. Use of GDRsThe proceeds of the GDRs can be used for financing capital goods imports, capital expenditure including domestic purchase/installation of plant, equipment and building and investment in software development, prepayment or scheduled repayment of earlier external borrowings, and equity investment in JV/WOSs in India. RestrictionsHowever, investment in stock markets and real estate will not be permitted. Companies may retain the proceeds abroad or may remit funds into India in anticiption of the use of funds for approved end uses. Any investment from a foreign firm into India requires the prior approval of the Government of India.










RBI POLICIES
Approval Foreign direct investments in India are approved through two routes: Automatic approval by RBI: The Reserve Bank of India accords automatic approval within a period of two weeks (provided certain parameters are met) to all proposals involving: •
1.Foreign equity up to 50% in 3 categories relating to mining activities 2.Foreign equity up to 51% in 48 specified industries
3.Foreign equity up to 74% in 9 categories
The lists are comprehensive and cover most industries of interest to foreign companies. Investments in high-priority industries or for trading companies primarily engaged in exporting are given almost automatic approval by the RBI. Opening an office in India opening an office in India for the aforesaid incorporates assessing the commercial opportunity for self, planning business, obtaining legal, financial, official, environmental, and tax advice as needed, choosing legal and capital structure, selecting a location, obtaining personnel, developing a product marketing strategy and more.










The FIPB Route
Processing of non-automatic approval cases FIPB stands for Foreign Investment Promotion Board which approves all other cases where the parameters of automatic approval are not met. Normal processing time is 4 to 6 weeks. Its approach is liberal for all sectors and all types of proposals, and rejections are few. It is not necessary for foreign investors to have a local partner, even when the foreign investor wishes to hold less than the entire equity of the company. The portion of the equity not proposed to be held by the foreign investor can be offered to the public. Total foreign investment and FDI Total foreign investment in FY 1997-98 was estimated at dollars 4.8 billion in 1997-98, compared to dollars 6 billion in 1996-97. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 1997-98 was an estimated dollars 3.1 billion, up from dollars 2.7 billion in1996-97. The government is likely to double FDI inflows within two years. Foreign portfolio investment by foreign institutional investors was significantly lower at dollars 752 million for fiscal 1997-98, down compared to dollars 1.9 billion in1996-97, partly reflecting the effect of the recent crisis in Asia. Foreign institutional investors Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers from November 1997 through January 1998. The outflow, prompted by the economic and currency crisis in Asia and some volatility in the Indian rupee, was modest compared to the roughly dollars 9 billion which has been invested in India by FIIs since 1992. FII investments FII net investment declined to dollars 1.5 billion for IFY 1997-98, compared to dollars 2.2 billion in 1996-97. The trend reversed itself in February and March 1998, reflecting the renewed stability of the rupee and relatively attractive valuations on Indian stock markets. Large outflows of capital Large outflows began again in May 1998, following India's nuclear tests and volatility in the rupee/dollar exchange rate. In an effort to avoid further heavy outflows, the RBI announced in June that FIIs would be allowed to hedge their incremental investments in Indian markets after June11, 1998.

Investment in Rajasthan
India is sometimes referred to as the nation of shopkeepers. This is because the country has the highest density of retail outlets- over 15 million- in the world. But out of this about 98% of the retail trade is in the organized sector.
In Rajasthan, FDI is encourages in the retail sector and now the organized retail sector is on its boom in the cities. It is a new concept n is on the hub in the urban Rajasthan. FDI is prevalent in the retail sector of handicraft industry, gold council and marble industry.
Aerens Gold Souk, Gold Souk, a jewellery mart, will soon come up in Jaipur. The mart will have the facility of selling jewelleries from across the world under one roof. The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has handed over 10,000 sq.mt to Aerens Gold Souk International near Jawahar Circle at the rate of Rs 25,000 per sq.mt to construct the mart. The mall will offer facilities and services such as valet parking for more than 600 cars, a food court, a bank, an ATM, currency exchange counters, a children's play area, a florist, a beauty salon, a business centre, conference rooms, executive lounge, a designer's gallery, a fashion resource library, and an exhibition area.
With the growth in the organized retailing and vertical integration of the distribution chain, retailers are now playing a crucial role in designing and branding new products, which would match consumer preferences. Consequently, manufacturers are losing their predominant position and have to gear their products to meet the specific demand of the retailers. In-house brands of many retailers such as pantaloons and shoppers’ stop are price competitive and offer significant competition to manufacturers. In order to increase efficiency in the supply chain, retailers are investing in supply chain management technologies and are sourcing products directly from the manufacturers, bypassing the wholesalers and middlemen.
For e.g. Shoppers’ Stop has bought over Crossroads while Viveks has taken over Jainsons. In cities where organized retailing is growing at a fast pace, unorganized retailers are reinvesting their personal savings and consolidating their position to form standalone supermarkets. The small retailers are also becoming more organized in terms of merchandise sourcing and accounting.












Handicraft Industry
The Federation of Rajasthan Handicraft Exporters is conceptualized to be interface between the Handicraft Exporter, the Government and other related institutions in order, that the industry may grow and progress in totality.


The economic importance of the handicraft sector lies in their high employment potential, low capital investment, high value addition & high demand in domestic & overseas markets. Jaipur is one of the most important areas not just in Rajasthan, but also in the country for the production & subsequent export of handicrafts. The Indian handicrafts are known for its ethnicity and elegancy.

It is very strongly felt that handicraft in Rajasthan could be a sunshine & key industry in the non – farm sector, specially in view of the consistent droughts every 2nd or 3rd year, and would provide large-scale employment & revenue generation for the rural & socio – economically backward classes. It is also majorly a non – polluting industry.








INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE STONE SECTOR
In view of the facts as presented above; following investment opportunities have been identified:
• Job-work processing of imported marble & re-exports
• Stone-craft items - Buy Back agreements and Technology transfer
• Production facilities for consumable: Collaborations, joint ventures,
• Joint venture for mechanised quarrying
• Production of machinery: Collaborations, joint ventures, technology transfers
• International marketing tie-ups for purchase of stones from Rajasthan










Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. (BANRAJ)

Bank of Rajasthan is likely to witness exponential growth in its profitability driven by increase its advances portfolio and higher fee based income. Reduction in NPA levels & recovery from written off assets would provide further fillip to its bottomline. The bank has already transferred majority of its government securities under Available-For-Sale (AFS) to Held-Till-Maturity (HTM) category, to restrict further losses in treasury portfolio, which has dragging its profits in the past. In addition, acquisitions of bank in the south or stake sale to FIIs or strategic investor are other key potential triggers in the stock. Background Bank of Rajasthan, established in 1943, is one of the leading private sector banks in North India with a stronghold in the state of Rajasthan. The bank is actively engaged in Commercial Banking, Merchant Banking, Auxiliary services, Consumer Banking, Deposit & Money Placement services, Trust & Custodial services, International Banking, Priority Sector Banking, Depository services etc. BOR presently has a network of 420 branches and aims to expand to 650 branches in the next two years. Investment rationale Asset quality has improved considerably BOR has taken considerable efforts to clean up its loan book and has already pruned its Net NPAs to Rs 72.25 crore in FY05. The bank is expected to cut its NPAs to 1.5% by FY06 & zero by FY07 from current 2.5% at the end of FY05. The bank has reduced its gross NPA levels by more than 55% in the past 4 years to Rs 159 crore in FY05 on the back of higher recoveries & progressive writing off sticky assets. Recovering of dues from Rs 1200 written-off accounts and setting up of prudent lending policies are likely to add to its bottom line growth in the coming years. Increased focus on retail and SME lending The bank has been identified retail banking as a major thrust area to drive its future growth. The management is looking at an incremental growth of Rs 1000 crore, each year over the next two years and out of which, around 20-25% is expected to come from retail. It has already introduced a series of retail banking products in the form of housing loan, consumer loan, vehicle loan & retail trade loans at most competitive rates. It is also providing educational loan to students for higher studies in India as well as abroad. In addition, it is also targeting the high-yielding SME segment to expand its margins. Net interest margins (NIMs) to improve BOR is taking adequate steps to improve the proportion of its low cost deposits which fell to 30% in FY04. The composition of low-cost deposits is expected to improve from current 32.7% levels in FY05 to 35% by FY07. The overall cost of deposit declined by 27 basis points to 4.57% as on June 2005. In addition, focus on high-yielding SME segment and retail segment is likely to improve the NIM considerably by 70 basis points to 3.2% by FY07. Strong growth in advances to drive profitability BOR recorded lower than expected 26.1% y-o-y growth in advances to Rs 2896.17 crore in FY05 due to easy liquidity in the banking sector & lower off take from the corporate sector. We expect bank’s advances to jump considerably to Rs 6400 crore by FY07 on the back of the back of increased thrust on retail loans, improved SME lending and a broad pick-up in corporate credit demand. In order to augment its growth, the bank plans to raise upto Rs 1000 crore through American depository receipts (ADRs), global depository receipts (GDRs) or a domestic public issue. The bank’s Credit/Deposit (C/D) ratio is also expected to improve from current 35% level to industry average of 50% by FY07 due to lower growth in deposits as against advances. Fee-based income to drive growth further BOR crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in its stamp franking business within one year of getting the licence from the Maharashtra Government. Marketing of various life and non-life insurance products and distribution of third party products like mutual finds are already undertaken by the company. It has launched a co-branded International VISA debit card and also plans to launch its own credit card during the year. All these initiatives are expected to add to its bottom-line going forward. Acquisition to compliment existing business BOR is contemplating taking over a bank in South India to spread its network in the down south. It has already identified about six banks for the same and a merger with a south based bank would compliment bank’s existing network and would enable it to have a strong pan-India presence.
