Overseas investors are looking at India as an attractive investment
destination owing to the prospects of high returns. A number of Corporate's and Multi National Companies from all over the world have
established business in India and have expanded over the years.
India
has witnessed a number of success stories - both Indian and
multinational firms have registered higher profits, increased turnover
and higher sales over the years. This has induced them to reinvest
profits and inject fresh capital into their processes in order to reap
the benefits of the India growth story.
Investments have been
made by Corporate across the board and almost all the sectors have seen
inflow of funds. Global players such as Daimler Chrysler, General
Motors, Ford, LG Electronics, Samsung, Sony, Amway, Tupperware, Pepsico,
McDonald's, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Aviva, Nortel, Nokia among others
have benefited from their operations in India and have made expansion
plans for the country. The companies plan to expand by way of product
diversification, setting up manufacturing base in India, increasing the
existing production capacity, establishing research centers in India,
etc.
The reform process initiated during the late eighties and
early nineties have begun to show their impact and India is taking huge
strides in the course of growth and development. However, recognizing
that there is no room for complacency, Indian policy makers are moving
ahead with due caution and at the same time integrating India with the
global economy.
