What is a Foreign Subsidiary?

A foreign subsidiary in India is a company incorporated under Indian laws but owned and controlled by a foreign parent company. It operates as a separate legal entity while maintaining strong ties to its parent organization.

Separate Legal Entity

A wholly-owned subsidiary is a separate legal entity from its parent company, providing limited liability protection while allowing full control by the foreign parent.

100% Foreign Ownership

In many sectors, India allows 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through the automatic route, enabling complete ownership and control by the foreign parent company.
