The Government of India has allowed FDI in Retail in both single (100%) and multi- brand formats (51%), subject to state approval and the stipulation that 30% sourcing of goods  be done within India. The retail Sector in India is one of the largest contributors to GDP and employs the largest number of people after agriculture.
