Indian Subsidiary Company Registration

Set up an Indian subsidiary of your foreign parent company and expand your business into India with full compliance.

Overview

Bring your global business to India

An Indian Subsidiary is a company incorporated in India in which a foreign company holds a majority of the shares. It is usually registered as a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act and lets a foreign parent operate directly in the Indian market.

The structure is subject to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules and FEMA regulations. It requires a minimum of two directors, at least one of whom must be a resident of India, and two shareholders.

Our experts handle incorporation, FDI reporting and post registration compliance so your entry into India is smooth.
