Investing in India
The overall annual volume of foreign direct investment in India has doubled over the last ten years, making this South Asian country one of the twenty most important locations for foreign investment.
The ‘Make in India’ campaign launched by the Indian government reinforces this development by providing targeted support for industrial investments in India. The primary focus here is on the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing currently comprises approximately 17 per cent of economic output; the government hopes to increase that share to 25 per cent. Foreign companies that want to establish their own production facilities in India have the opportunity to benefit from attractive conditions and subsidy schemes.
Foreign companies and investors have an extensive range of options for starting a business in India. The right corporate structure in each case depends on a series of different factors. GTAI has drawn up an overview (German only) of the legal frameworks and the various corporate structures in India.
