Doing Business
in India

Market Entry

Entering the Indian market involves the incorporation of private and public sector companies, which is the most common method for establishing businesses in the country. The following are the key entry modes:

  • Private and Public Companies : Companies can be registered as wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures, or limited liability partnerships.
  • Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) : Various sectors, including food processing, allow 100% FDI under the automatic route, making it easier for foreign businesses to enter.
  • Franchising and Distribution Models : Popular for brands looking to test the market before full-fledged operations. With its large consumer base, skilled workforce, and improving ease-of-doing-business rankings, India offers significant opportunities for both domestic and international investors.

Regulatory Framework

The regulatory landscape in India is governed by comprehensive frameworks designed to ensure food safety and promote sustainable business practices:

  • FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) : Established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, FSSAI consolidates various acts and orders to regulate food processing, distribution, and retailing.
  • Compliance Requirements : Businesses must obtain licenses, adhere to labeling standards, and meet quality benchmarks to operate legally in India.
  • Streamlined Processes : Recent government initiatives have simplified regulatory approvals to encourage investment in the food processing sector. This framework ensures a structured environment that benefits both businesses and consumers.

Permitted FDI in India

India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies are among the most liberal globally, offering lucrative opportunities in several sectors:

  • Food Processing & Trading : 100% FDI is permitted in food processing and single-brand retail under the automatic route, enabling foreign companies to set up operations without prior government approval.
  • Agriculture & Plantation*: Investments in agricultural activities and plantation sectors are encouraged to boost productivity and exports.
  • Retail Sector : Single-brand retail trading and e-commerce related to food products are popular areas for FDI. India’s open FDI policies, combined with tax incentives and infrastructure development initiatives, make it an attractive destination for global investors.
