Foreign direct investments especially through multinational corporate has been a subject of animated discussion both in home and host countries. Foreign is a nebulous concept. In wider sense it denotes wide spectrum of international business arrangements, but in essence it entails flow of capital, technology, skills and enterprises from one country to another. Such flows, although a new phenomenon, have assumed significant in the wake of the needs and desires of contemporary developing countries to push up their growth rates. In India, like any other developing countries, the role of foreign direct investment is debated tremendously and effortlessly. Today, when all efforts are being made to develop the economy, the government and the people expect the foreign firms to play a more positive role in the economic development of India. But the entry of the foreign firms in Indian market has forced the retail sectors to face the immediate challenges given by them. Therefore, in this context it is needed to analyse critically the impact of foreign direct investment on the retail sectors in India. The issues like increase in prices, sustainable growth, technology upgradation and employment generation need to be addressed.
