Retail stocks plunge on SP’s opposition to the FDI in multi-brand retail

23 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Samajwadi Party, the new ally of UPA-II government, has opposed the foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail. This news has sent the retail stocks in red since the first trade. The highly publicized issue of multi-brand retail, if approved, will affect the local kirana stores and increase unemployment as it is the second largest employer in the country after agriculture, argued the SP in a written communication to the Prime Minister. However, investors have pinned their hopes on the entry of Pranab Mukherjee as President as he may open doors for FDI in retail sector among the other key expectations.
