Expand Globally by Setting Up an Indian Subsidiary
An Indian Subsidiary is essentially a Private Limited Company or Public Limited Company registered in India, whose majority of shares are held by a foreign corporate entity. Governed jointly by the Companies Act, 2013, and FEMA guidelines, it is the most popular, structured, and legally secure way for foreign companies to enter the rapidly growing Indian market. Since it operates as an entirely independent legal entity, the liability of the foreign parent company is strictly limited to its share capital.
Strategic Advantages of an Indian Subsidiary
Setting up a subsidiary is highly preferred over opening a Branch or Liaison Office because it provides maximum operational flexibility and completely shields the parent company.
- Limited Liability: The foreign parent company is completely legally protected from the subsidiary's operational debts and liabilities in India.
- Unrestricted Operations: A subsidiary can engage in any legal business activity, unlike Branch Offices which face severe RBI restrictions.
- Funding & Valuation: Easily raise local Indian venture capital, issue equity funding, or secure local bank loans independently.
- Continuous Existence: The Indian company remains active and operational even if the parent undergoes restructuring or mergers abroad.
- Repatriation of Profits: Profits and dividends can be legally and easily repatriated back to the parent company under FEMA guidelines.
