What is Retailing?
Retailing involves selling products and
services to consumers for their personal
or family use. Service providers, like
dentists, hotels and hair salons, and online stores, like Amazon.com, are
retailers.

Impact on Economy (Benefits)
Inefficient Supply chain: The road all products in India take, from the original
producer to the end customer, is indeed long and tortuous. Various estimates put the
supply chain costs in India, across product categories, at between 12 per cent and 50
per cent. This is largely cost and not value added. In the case of basic products, a
significant portion of these costs is sheer wastage.
Intermediaries pockets over Rs 50,000 crores: Study done by McKinsey for its
FAIDA report on food and grocery retailing estimated wastage loss in the Indian food
chain at over Rs 50,000 crore annually, almost all of it attributable to the archaic
intermediary chain food has to go through to reach the end customer. Its a double
whammy, so that while the customer ends up paying more, the original producer, in
many cases the Indian farmer, gets paid much less than what he would have got in a
modern retail environment. Retail consolidation will aggregate demand at the retail end,
bypass the intermediary system, invest in the supply chain to ensure zero wastage,
ensure lower prices to the end customer and higher prices to the farmer/original
producer. Over time, savings in the Indian economy on this count alone could be a
whopping Rs 50,000 crore plus.
Employment
Market access
The hugely fragmented retail structure has given rise to
a distribution network that is quite unique to India.
Indeed, the cost and complexity of such a structure
makes it a huge competitive barrier for new entrants
or products. It also severely restricts the ability of
Indias
small-scale
manufacturers
to
reach
customers. Given the huge small-scale industry in
India, retail consolidation will act as a fillip to its
ability to access the market. Also, the choice and
range available to the end customer will go up
significantly.
Real estate: The requirement of real-estate will be in millions of square feet and the
demand from retail players will release for productive use large tracts of land lying with
various Government agencies such as the Ports, Railways, Defense and so on. It has
happened all over the world, there is no reason why it will not happen here.
Tourism / Outbound shopping: If one were to think of any city which attracts a large
number of tourists every year London, Singapore, Dubai, New York and so on one of
their attractions is the well-developed shopping environment. Retail consolidation will act
as a significant enabler to developing many of our cities as tourist destinations, and if
well-marketed and managed, can significantly enhance Government revenues, apart
from carrying ethnic Indian brands across the world. The impact on benefits would be
difficult to quantify, but clearly they would be huge. And finally, one only has to look at
the countries where retail consolidation and modernization has occurred to conclude
that it has almost always radically and favorably affected the value-capturing capacity
and modernization of the farming industry, restructured the supply chain for all FMCG
products, driven end customer prices down on a sustained basis, created significant
employment opportunities, been a source of considerable revenue for Governments,
both local and national and in general been a catalyst in creating considerable national
wealth. There is no reason why it will not do the same for the Indian economy and her
people.
Era of government support for rural retail: Indigenous franchise model of store
chains run by Khadi & Village Industries Commission
1980s experienced slow change as India began to open up economy.
Textiles sector with companies like Bombay Dyeing, Raymond's, S Kumar's and Grasim
first saw the emergence of retail chains
Later Titan successfully created an organized retailing concept and established a series
of showrooms for its premium watches
The latter half of the 1990s saw a fresh wave of entrants with a shift from
Manufactures to Pure Retailers.
For e.g. Food World, Subhiksha and Nilgiris in food and FMCG; Planet M and Music
World in music; Crossword and Fountainhead in books.
Post 1995 onwards saw an emergence of shopping centers,

Department Stores:
A department store is a retail establishment which specializes in
selling a wide range of products without a single predominant
merchandise line. Department stores usually sell products including
apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and additionally select
other lines of products such as paint, hardware, toiletries, cosmetics,
photographic equipment, jewellery, toys, and sporting goods.
Convenience Stores:
These are relatively small stores 400-2,000 sq. feet located near
residential areas. They stock a limited range of high-turnover
convenience products and are usually open for extended periods
during the day, seven days a week. Prices are slightly higher due to
the convenience premium.
Hypermarts / Supermarkets:
A hypermarket or multi-department store is a superstore which
combines a supermarket and Department store. The result is a very
large retail facility which carries an enormous range of products
under one roof, including full lines of groceries and general
merchandise. When they are planned, constructed, and executed
correctly, a consumer can ideally satisfy all of his or her routine
weekly shopping needs in one trip.

AT Kearney has estimated Indias total retail market at US$ 330 billion which is expected to grow at a
compounded 30 per cent over the next five years.
With the organised retail segment growing at the rate of 25-30 per cent per annum, revenues from the sector
are expected to triple from the current US$ 7.7 billion to US$ 24 billion by 2010.
The share of modern retail is likely to grow from its current 2 per cent to 15-20 percent over the next decade
Over next two years India will see several Indian retail businesses attaining a critical mass as growth in the
industry picks up momentum driven by two key factors:

90 million square feet of mall space is expected to be available by end of 2007, which might lead
to over-capacity of malls
Lack of differentiation among the malls that are coming up. One option may be to look at
specialization.
Poor inventory turns and stock availability measures - retailers clearly need to augment their
operations.
Operations of retailers and suppliers are not integrated. Efficient replenishment practices practiced
in the Indian auto and auto-component industry can be leveraged to implement efficient supply
chain management techniques.
Supplier maturity, in terms of adherence to delivery schedules and delivering the quantity ordered,
is an issue
Sales tax laws - lead to retailers having state-level procurement and storage leads to Indian
retailers having higher inventories. VAT has helped alleviate this a bit.
Increased adoption of IT and shrinkage management will be a critical area.
Supply chain and customer relations followed by merchandising, facilities management and
vendor development are areas which have significant gaps and proactive training is a key
imperative for overcoming these.
Politicians opposing the retailing of fruits and vegetables through retail chains due to opposition
from the intermediaries, e.g. U.P. Govt ordered closure of Reliance fresh stores and Spencers
Stores, citing law and order problems.
Retail reform
The Government allows 100 per cent foreign
direct investment (FDI) in cash and carry
through the automatic route and 51 per cent
in single brand. Besides, the franchise route
is available for big operators. Now, the
Government
also
proposes
further
liberalization in the retail sector allowing 51
per cent FDI in consumer electronics, sports
goods, stationery and building equipment.
