The FDI in India was slightly more that China in 2002, but it has increased at a much faster rate as compared to India since then. The main reason that can be attributed to this growth is the focus on the manufacturing sector in China as most of the FDI is attracted towards the low cost manufacturing in China.

Published studies Last year, the Forbes 200, an annual ranking of the world’s best small companies, included 13 Indian firms but just 4 from mainland China. A report issued in 2000 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences concluded that, “private and individual enterprises have a lower political status and are discriminated against several policies and regulations. In a recent survey of leading Asian companies by the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER), India registered a higher average score than any other country in the region, including China. In a World Bank study published last year, only 52 percent of the Indian firms surveyed reported problems obtaining capital, versus 80 percent of the Chinese companies polled.

Contd… Who scores where?
If India has so clearly surpassed China at the grassroots level, why isn’t India’s superiority reflected in the numbers? Why is the gap in GDP and other benchmarks still so wide?
Why ?
GBE Term Paper Presentation
Contd… Why? It’s the history; India’s economic reforms only began in 1991, more than a decade after China.
India has had to deal with a national savings rate half that of China’s and 90 percent less FDI.
Moreover, India is an extensive, messy democracy driven by ethnic and religious tensions.
India has also had a longstanding, volatile dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir. China, on the other hand, has enjoyed two decades of relative tranquility, it has been able to focus almost exclusively on economic development.

China used the fastest route to reach economic development which is foreign direct investment (FDI). Indeed, India’s homegrown entrepreneurs may give it a long-term advantage over the Chinese inefficient financial system and capital market.
