Entering India Requires More Than Registration

Regulatory approvals, investment structuring, and compliance obligations in India often vary based on the sector, ownership model, and nature of business activity. Many foreign businesses face delays not because they moved too quickly, but because the broader regulatory and operational landscape was never mapped clearly at the outset. That is where Greenvissage steps in, helping businesses develop a clear India market entry strategy, understand regulatory requirements, and establish the right foundation before the process begins.

Can a foreign company set up a business in India with 100% ownership?

Yes, in most sectors. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route allows 100% foreign ownership without prior government approval. Certain industries have sector-specific restrictions or approval requirements, which we assess during the India market entry process.

What is the difference between a Branch Office and a Subsidiary in India?

A Branch Office operates as an extension of the parent company and is subject to certain operational restrictions. A Subsidiary is a separate legal entity incorporated in India and generally provides greater flexibility, local credibility, and limited liability.

How long does business setup in India take for foreign companies?

The timeline depends on the entity structure, industry, and approval requirements. In most cases, establishing a fully operational business in India takes between eight and fourteen weeks.

What is FEMA compliance and why is it important for foreign companies?

FEMA governs foreign exchange transactions and foreign investment activities in India. Foreign-owned businesses must comply with FEMA regulations and RBI reporting requirements to avoid penalties and regulatory issues.

Can foreign companies set up a business in India without being physically present?

Yes. Most stages of business setup in India can be completed remotely. Certain documents may require notarisation or apostille procedures in the company's home country.
