Establish your foreign company's presence in India.
An Indian Subsidiary is a company incorporated in India whose majority shareholding is held by a foreign parent company. It is the most common route for global businesses to enter the Indian market because the subsidiary is a separate Indian legal entity that can carry on the full range of commercial activities. Most sectors permit up to 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route, though some require government approval. Setting up involves incorporating a private limited company, structuring the shareholding to comply with FEMA and RBI norms, and completing FDI reporting such as the FC-GPR filing once foreign funds are received.
