FDI may have a negative impact on the growth of the developing countries (Singer,1950; Griffin, 1970).
Hanson (2001) argues that evidence that FDI generates positive spillovers for host countries is weak.
FDI could have a favorable short-term effect on
growth as it expands the economic activity. However, in the long run it reduces the growth rate due to dependency, particularly due to “decapitalization” (Bornschier, 1980).
Banga (2005) demonstrates that FDI, trade and technological progress have differential impact on wages and employment.
Higher extent of FDI in an industry leads to
higher wage rate, it has no impact on its employment.
Higher export intensity of an industry increases employment in the industry but has no effect on its wage rate.
Import of technology has unfavorably affected employment in India. The study by Sharma (2000) concluded that FDI does not have a statistically significant role in the export promotion in Indian Economy.
Currently FDI is permitted:a) Through financial collaborations.b) Through Joint Ventures and technical collaborations.c) Through capital markets via Euro issues.d) Through preferential allotments.

Social infrastructure like schools, colleges and hospitals should be developed to promote human capital formation
