Things to Know Before Entering the Indian Market

Expanding into India offers immense opportunities, but success requires careful planning and awareness of local regulations, business practices, and consumer behaviour. Below are key factors every company should consider before launching their products in India:
1. Government Policies & Regulations
India’s trade and investment environment are governed by several regulatory frameworks. Foreign companies need to understand FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) rules, import-export policies, and industry-specific restrictions. Some sectors allow 100% FDI through the automatic route, while others require government approval. Staying updated with evolving policies is crucial to ensure smooth entry.
2. Company Incorporation
Choosing the right business structure is the first step. Companies can establish a subsidiary, joint venture, liaison office, or branch office depending on their business goals. Registration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is mandatory, along with obtaining necessary approvals for foreign investment. A well-structured entity ensures credibility and legal compliance.
3. Taxation Structure
India follows a Goods and Services Tax (GST) system, which applies to most goods and services. Businesses must also account for corporate taxes, customs duties, and withholding taxes. Understanding Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) is essential for foreign firms to avoid tax duplication in their home country.
4. Licenses & Registrations
Depending on the product category, multiple licenses may be required. For example, FSSAI registration for food products, BIS certification for quality standards, or DGFT licenses for imports and exports. Ensuring all approvals are in place builds trust with regulators, distributors, and customers.
5. Market Research
India is a diverse country with varying preferences, income levels, and buying behaviours. Thorough market research helps companies understand pricing sensitivities, regional demand, competition, and customer expectations. This step is critical for creating localized strategies that resonate with Indian consumers.
6. Distribution & Partnerships

Finding the right distributors, wholesalers, and local partners is key to establishing a strong market presence. India’s vast geography requires robust supply chain planning, and reliable local partners help in faster market penetration while navigating cultural and regulatory challenges.

7. Banking & Repatriation of Funds

Foreign companies must set up compliant banking systems in India, adhering to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. Ensuring proper structuring of accounts allows smooth repatriation of profits, dividends, and royalties back to the parent company without legal hurdles.

8. Logistics & Supply Chain

Efficient logistics is vital for success in India. Businesses must evaluate warehousing, cold chain facilities, transport networks, and last-mile delivery services. A reliable supply chain ensures products reach the right markets on time and in good condition.

9. Cultural & Regional Differences

India’s diversity means that consumer behavior varies widely across regions. Adapting branding, packaging, language, and marketing campaigns to local preferences significantly improves acceptance. Companies that respect and localize their approach tend to build stronger customer loyalty.
