This research analyzed economic features in India by area and by state and suggests a series of strategies specialized for Korean companies doing business in India. The information of business environment in major states of India in compare and contrast will play an important role to set up a variety of demand and strategy for government and corporation. To do so, this report divides India into four areas– Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern area with consideration of several factors such as cultural and historical difference, regional identity and administrative division, economic gap and social development gap among regions, and economic structure and business atmosphere. General atmosphere, production, market and policy and openness were major parts of analysis.
Eastern area was assessed showing increase of economic development possibility with large-scale pro-industrialization centered on west Bengal and Orissa, although this area is the poorest and has the slowest development rate in India. However, there have been several weaknesses in terms of infrastructure, labor strike, and expropriation. Furthermore, the risk about rebel force like Naxalite exists.
Western area can be said as the most open and fastest development economy in India, and the state government has maintained a close relationship with central government. However, it also has downsides such as labor disputes, residents’ conflict by industrialization and hardly acquiring property.
Southern area has been with manufacturing, IT and tobacco industry, but labor disputes in this area is comparatively palpable and many of industrial complex in southern area has already been saturated.
Northern area revealed different features between area nearby border and capital. The major state in capital area, Haryana, has been in steep development, consumption and investment with concrete foundation for the economic growth. On the other hand, northernmost areas have slowed its growth due to conflict, Hindu-sacred area, hilly area, etc.
When it comes to the FDI of India by area, it has been strongly escalated since the middle of 2000, continued in spite of global economic downturn.
FDI inflow by area was allowed to northern area at 40% during 2000 to 2005, and western, southern, eastern area took 35, 23 and 2% respectively, but in the time from 2006 to May 2010, western area has been with a steep FDI increase as 56%. Northern and Southern areas were gone down to 26 and 16% and the eastern remained at 2%.
Recently, Japanese companies has rushed to Indian business, showing the augmentation from 475 in February 2007 to 1050 in April 2010 accounted by criteria of key area, which demonstrates double in 3 years. The number of Korean companies in India is about 500 and total amount of accumulated investments is 240 million dollars that increased 2.6 times compared to 2005.
The strategy targeting on India by area consists of 4 parts: interlink in links and its application strategy, expansion of business and a successful settlement, becoming a strategic base or a hub, and founding and supporting the relevant strategies and encouraging research.
First of all, for interlink in links and its application strategy, different income level by area and by state and also the propensity to consume should be considered. Moreover, deep consideration of the company’s purpose of entering oversea, target market and business features is also necessary.
Second, large companies need to think of expansion plan by area, and small and middle sized companies should pursue a sequential enlargement of their business after fully settled down on key area with the purpose of making more type of industries work in India.
Third, when Korean companies are designing to become a strategic base or hub, the looming of ASEAN and South Asia needs to be thought. For instance, eastern region can be used as a strategic base for expansion to Bangladesh, Myanmar and China. Likewise, southern area suites for Sri-Lanka, ASEAN, and western area suites for Europe, Africa.
Last but not least, it is important to secure Korean-only industry area and/or distribution centers in order to particulate market by area, and to reinforce the relationship between India and Korea in terms of education, human resources, etc.
