India setup — common questions
- Can a foreigner own 100% of an Indian company?
- Yes, in most sectors under the automatic route, with no prior government approval — only a post-investment FC-GPR filing. A resident Indian director is still required on the board.
- Is there a minimum capital requirement?
- No — a Private Limited Company can be incorporated with no statutory minimum capital.
- How long does incorporation take?
- Typically one to two weeks once documents are complete, notarized and apostilled. Allow extra time for banking and capital remittance.
