Overview

What is Indian Subsidiary?

If you are a foreign company or an overseas business wanting to enter the huge Indian market, setting up an Indian Subsidiary is the most common and trusted way. It lets your foreign parent company own and run a company in India, fully and legally. India is one of the world's fastest-growing markets, and a subsidiary gives you a strong, official base here.

An Indian Subsidiary is a company registered in India that is owned (fully or majority) by a foreign parent company. It is usually set up as a Private Limited Company. It is a separate legal entity under Indian law, so it can do business, hire staff, sign contracts and earn revenue in India, while being controlled by the foreign parent. It must follow Indian company law and FDI (foreign investment) rules.
