The Indian economy had been
booming for the past few years.
The complex decision making process of initiating operations in a foreign land
required intimate knowledge of the country’s business environment and at the
same a sense of appreciation for the fact that, for a market like India, this
climate is constantly evolving
The country holds great promise for the future. Liberalized foreign policies had
unleashed the entrepreneurial spirit of its people and many multi-national
firms, attracted by the dusty plains of Deccan, had already set up big offices
throughout the nation. In light of the remarkable performance of the Indian
economy, in the last decade, this revised & updated edition will be of great use.
This publication has been updated with a view to give the foreign entrepreneurs
as well as the native executives, a bird’s eye view of the business and
investment climate, taxation laws, socio-cultural background, and general
accounting practices and regulations in India. We have been receiving very
positive feedback on our report which was released in Sept, 2003. The fact that
the business scenario has witnessed sea changes in the last few years, we have a
new updated version of the publication.
This updated edition has added two new sections on FDIs in India and the M&A climate in India.
These sections present the trends, the scope and the government regulations
pertaining in each of the economic activity. There has been a relevant addition
to the list of tables and graphs too. The report contains two graphs in the M&A
section on M&A volume in Asia and Asia Pacific. The newly added FDI section
includes a graphical representation of global FDI inflows, FDI inflows for
developing nations. It also includes a tabular representation of the FDI
policies till this era and the FDIs fragmentation of the FDI inflows until end
2005.
