A Foreign Subsidiary refers to a private limited company with over fifty percent of its capital owned by non-resident corporate bodies. Foreign nationals aiming to establish a business in India must register a Foreign Subsidiary Company in Cochin. India ranks among the top seven global markets for investment due to substantial foreign capital influx. With high market demand and a conducive business environment, many foreign entities opt to incorporate a Foreign Subsidiary Company in India.

Setting up Foreign subsidiary company: A Foreign Subsidiary can be established as either a Private Limited or Public Limited Company, funded by the parent organization. The investment limits are subject to the Government of India's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy.
