Income tax in India ranges from 15% to 25%, among the lowest globally.
Young and technically skilled workforce available at competitive costs.
India is becoming a major manufacturing hub under Make in India 2.0.

India welcomes global investors through various legal structures like Liaison, Branch, Project Office or fully owned subsidiaries and LLPs. These options are supported by government initiatives such as Make in India 2.0 and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes.
Joint ventures are formal collaborations based on equity investment in India, where the foreign company and the Indian partner incorporate a Private or Public limited company under the Companies Act 2013. The FDI policy applies, and joint ventures follow compliance rules like wholly owned subsidiaries. You can also invest in an existing Indian business.
The FDI policy and press notes apply to investment made by foreign partners to the JV. There is no need for equity valuation in a new JV incorporation. However, FDI in existing businesses is subject to pricing norms.
FDI in a limited liability partnership (LLP) is permitted only in sectors where 100% FDI is allowed automatically and without performance conditions. In sectors requiring approval or only partial FDI, LLP is not a suitable structure for foreign entry. MARCS BizAdvisors Pvt Ltd helps incorporate LLPs with foreign capital by filing with the ROC.
The FDI is permitted only in 100% open sectors. The reporting and pricing norms are similar to that of a company. After incorporation, the foreign investment in LLP is reported by filing FC-GPR with the RBI.
Foreign companies can establish a Branch Office in India with RBI approval, as per the Foreign Exchange Management Regulations, 2016. Only certain activities are permitted at branch offices. Retail trading and manufacturing (except in SEZs) are not allowed.
A project office is a temporary setup by a foreign company to execute specific government or private sector projects in India. RBI allows such offices after ensuring the company meets certain criteria. We help simplify the process for you.
The foreign company must have a confirmed contract from the central or state government, public sector entity, or a private organization within India.
Funding for the project office should come directly from the foreign parent company or through long-term international financing, grants, or loans.
If all conditions are met, the foreign company can approach RBI for approval to establish a project office in India.
