While the spiraling crude oil price threatens to cripple the global economies, India remains largely insulated. Industry research shows that the growth of has been rather less oil-intensive than her global counterparts and, so, India may still hope to maintain its nine per cent annual growth rate despite the crisis.
The decline of India's oil-intensiveness started off towards the beginning of this millennium with the growth of the less oil-dependent and improved energy-efficiency in the manufacturing facilities. Research also shows that although a large portion (about 70%) of its local requirement is met through import, it is the high export revenue from the petroleum products that offsets the ballooning import bill to a large extent.
Rather than being a mere conjecture, the fact is well acknowledged by the entrepreneurial community who look to . A recent survey conducted by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) shows that India as the most-favored destination for long-term Japanese investment. Global consulting firm KPMG reveals in a survey, that India (18%), has outscored France (14%), Russia (13%), Japan (10%) and Brazil (9%), as the preferred investment destination. Very soon, it is likely to become the world leader for investment in manufacturing. Among the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) nations, it is supposed to be the biggest gainer.
Cheap industry resources, liberal investment policies, large pool of young and talented manpower, and all fostered by an environment conducive to growth, are the instrumental factors behind the phenomenon.

One mistake many new investors make is not allowing their money to continue to grow by reinvesting. While those dividends may not seem like a lot up front, they can add up quickly and grow if you put them back into the system. Consider this. If you were to put $100,000 into a REIT or real estate mutual fund to purchase 100 shares and it sent out a 10% dividend check that would be a check for $10,000 the first year. You could either spend that and be back at the base of $100,000 or put it back into the system and have $110,00 in investments. The same 10% dividend the next year will make you $10,000 if you didn't reinvest or $11,000 if you did (not to mention a 10% larger investment portfolio). As the years go by this will continue to add and compound and if allowed to grow you will be pleased to see what long-term results will mean for your financial situation. In order to see this at work, you need to know where to put your money. As we mentioned in the example, real estate mutual funds and REITs are very wise places to invest. There are a couple of reasons for this. First is the fact that real estate investing is based on a tangible item ? real estate. While values in real estate can change from day to day the fact that it is a physical asset makes it a wise investment. The other reason that people like real estate mutual funds and especially REITs is that over the long term they tend to have very strong and stable growth. While most investments can fluctuate wildly from year to year, many REITs have a track record of a 6-12% dividend paid out to shareholders annually. This is especially the case in REITs. The reason for this is the way that REITS are structured. As part of the legal basis of REITs they must pay out a certain amount of their profits (90%) to their shareholders. Knowing you need to reinvest your money is just part of the battle. The next part is selecting wise stocks to put your money into. For this there is no better way than to do than research.
