India Market Entry Services for Australian Companies

Expand Your Australian Business into India

India is becoming an increasingly important market for Australian companies seeking access to a large consumer base, technology and professional talent, manufacturing opportunities and long-term growth across Asia.

The commercial relationship between Australia and India has strengthened significantly following the implementation of the Australia–India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), which entered into force on 29 December 2022.

According to the Australian Government, India was Australia’s fifth-largest trading partner in 2025, with two-way trade in goods and services valued at approximately AUD 50.2 billion. Australia’s stock of investment in India stood at approximately AUD 26.8 billion at the end of 2025.

India also received approximately USD 217 million of FDI equity inflow from Australia during FY 2025-26, according to India’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

Australian companies are exploring India for:

• Technology and digital services;
• Mining and critical minerals;
• Clean and renewable energy;
• Education and skills;
• Agribusiness and food processing;
• Healthcare and MedTech;
• Manufacturing and engineering;
• Infrastructure;
• Financial and professional services;
• Tourism and hospitality;
• Research and innovation; and
• Global Capability Centres in India.

The Australian Government has also identified India as a major economic opportunity through its New Roadmap for Australia’s Economic Engagement with India, focusing particularly on clean energy, education and skills, agribusiness and tourism, alongside opportunities in technology, defence, space and other sectors.

However, successful India entry requires much more than simply registering a company in India.

An Australian company should evaluate its proposed activities, business structure, FDI regulations, FEMA requirements, India–Australia tax treaty, ECTA benefits, GST, customs, transfer pricing, employment requirements and profit-repatriation strategy before committing capital.

EzyBiz India Consulting LLP provides end-to-end India Market Entry Services for Australian Companies. We assist businesses from the planning stage through company incorporation, regulatory registrations, FEMA and RBI compliance, taxation, accounting and ongoing operational support.

Our objective is not merely to register your business in India. We help you establish a commercially viable, legally compliant and scalable operation aligned with your long-term India expansion strategy.

Common India Entry Routes for Australian Companies

The appropriate structure should be selected after considering commercial objectives, foreign ownership, operational control, taxation, liability, regulatory requirements and long-term India strategy.

For a detailed comparison, see our Business Setup in India for Foreign Companies guide.

Why India Is an Attractive Destination for Australian Companies

India offers Australian businesses access to a large and diversified market supported by rising domestic consumption, economic reforms and increasing investment in technology and infrastructure.

Australian companies may consider India for the following reasons:

• Access to a consumer market of more than 1.4 billion people.
• Strong demand across technology, education, healthcare, infrastructure and consumer sectors.
• Large pool of qualified and English-speaking professionals.
• Competitive operating, development and manufacturing costs.
• Liberal Foreign Direct Investment policy across most sectors.
• Expanding digital economy and startup ecosystem.
• Growing opportunities in renewable energy and sustainability.
• Government initiatives supporting domestic manufacturing.
• Strong professional, financial and technology services ecosystem.
• Strategic location for serving South Asian and other emerging markets.

India’s combination of market scale, talent availability and improving business infrastructure makes it relevant to Australian companies seeking both revenue growth and operational efficiency.

Australia–India Business and Investment Snapshot

India–Australia Business and Investment Relationship

India and Australia have developed an increasingly important economic and strategic partnership supported by trade, investment, education, technology and strong people-to-people connections.

India was Australia’s fifth-largest trading partner in 2025, with approximately AUD 50.2 billion of two-way trade in goods and services. At the end of 2025, Australian investment stock in India was approximately AUD 26.8 billion, while Indian investment stock in Australia was approximately AUD 45.3 billion.

Australian businesses have opportunities in India across sectors including:

• Clean energy;
• Critical minerals;
• Mining technology and services;
• Education and skills;
• Technology and digital services;
• Agribusiness;
• Food processing;
• Healthcare;
• Infrastructure;
• Financial services;
• Advanced manufacturing;
• Defence-related industries;
• Space technology; and
• Tourism.

A significant new policy framework for this relationship is A New Roadmap for Australia’s Economic Engagement with India, launched by the Australian Government in February 2025.

The Roadmap was developed following more than 400 consultations with businesses and institutions across Australia and India and identifies key areas where the two economies have complementary strengths.

Its principal focus areas include:

• Clean energy;
• Education and skills;
• Agribusiness;
• Tourism;

along with opportunities in technology, defence industries, space, sport, culture and other emerging sectors.

This makes India relevant not only for large Australian corporations but also for technology companies, manufacturers, universities, professional-service firms, mining businesses, clean-energy companies and SMEs seeking international expansion.

Australian companies planning permanent Indian operations can review our Wholly Owned Subsidiary in India guide.

Businesses that want to test Indian demand before establishing their own entity may instead consider our Distributor Appointment Services in India.

Australia’s New Economic Roadmap for India

Australia–India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA)

The Australia–India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) entered into force on 29 December 2022 and has significantly improved market access between the two countries.

For Australian companies considering India, ECTA is relevant because it provides preferential market-access opportunities for qualifying goods and services.

Under ECTA, more than 85% of Australian goods exports by value to India became tariff free from implementation, with further tariff elimination or reductions being phased in over time.

On full implementation, tariff elimination or reduction applies to over 90% of Australian goods exports to India by value.

ECTA also provides market-access commitments relating to services and professional mobility.

Australian service suppliers can benefit from access across a wide range of Indian services sectors and subsectors, including areas relevant to:

• Professional services;
• Financial services;
• Telecommunications;
• Education;
• Technology; and
• Other commercial services.

However, Australian businesses should not assume that every export automatically qualifies for preferential customs treatment.

Before claiming ECTA benefits, businesses should examine:

• Customs classification;
• Applicable tariff concession;
• Rules of origin;
• Product-specific origin requirements;
• Certificate of Origin;
• Customs valuation;
• Product standards;
• Import restrictions; and
• Supporting documentation.

Official information and tariff schedules are available through:

Australia–India ECTA – Australian DFAT

Using ECTA to Do Business with India

Australia–India CECA Negotiations

Australia and India are also negotiating a broader Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA).

CECA is intended to build upon ECTA and potentially deepen economic cooperation across additional areas.

The Australian Government confirms that these negotiations remain ongoing.

Accordingly, the current operative trade agreement is ECTA, while companies should monitor developments relating to the broader CECA.

Why Australian Companies Choose India for Expansion

Australian companies are increasingly considering India as an important destination for international growth, supply-chain diversification, technology development and access to skilled talent.

Access to a Large Consumer Market

India’s population of more than 1.4 billion creates substantial demand across consumer products, healthcare, education, financial services, technology, infrastructure and digital solutions.

Australian companies can use India not only as an operational base but also as a major long-term customer market.

Skilled English-Speaking Workforce

India has a large pool of professionals in engineering, software development, finance, accounting, law, healthcare, research and management.

English is widely used in Indian business, which makes communication, recruitment and coordination easier for Australian companies.

Technology and Digital Opportunities

India has developed into a major technology and innovation centre. The country offers opportunities in:

• Software development
• Artificial intelligence
• SaaS
• FinTech
• Cybersecurity
• E-commerce
• Digital payments
• Data analytics
• Research and development

Australian technology businesses may establish Indian subsidiaries, development centres or service operations to access talent and support global growth.

Mining and Critical Minerals Cooperation

Australia has extensive expertise in mining, natural resources and critical minerals, while India has growing demand for raw materials, energy security and advanced manufacturing inputs.

This creates opportunities for Australian companies involved in mining technology, exploration, equipment, consulting, mineral processing and related services.

Education and Skills Development

Education represents an important part of the India–Australia relationship. Australian universities, vocational institutions, training providers and EdTech companies may explore collaborations, academic partnerships and direct operations in India.

ECTA also provides a broader framework for cooperation in education, professional services and skills exchange.

Renewable Energy and Sustainability

India’s growing demand for clean energy and sustainable infrastructure creates opportunities for Australian businesses operating in:

• Solar energy
• Green hydrogen
• Energy storage
• Environmental consulting
• Waste management
• Carbon solutions
• Sustainable mining
• Clean technology

Agriculture and Food Processing

Australian companies may also explore opportunities in agribusiness, food technology, dairy, grains, cold-chain infrastructure, logistics and premium food products.

Businesses entering these sectors must carefully evaluate Indian import regulations, food safety requirements, product registrations, customs duties and labelling requirements.

Manufacturing and Supply-Chain Diversification

Government initiatives promoting domestic manufacturing have encouraged foreign businesses to establish production and assembly operations in India.

Australian companies may consider India for manufacturing, sourcing, contract production and regional supply-chain diversification.

Cost-Effective Business Operations

Compared with many developed markets, India offers competitive operating costs and access to a large outsourcing and professional services ecosystem.

Australian companies may use India for accounting support, technology development, customer services, research, design, shared services and back-office operations.

Business Structures Available for Australian Companies Entering India

Selecting the appropriate business structure is one of the most important decisions when entering the Indian market. The most suitable structure depends upon your proposed business activities, investment objectives, tax considerations, regulatory requirements and long-term expansion plans.

Australian companies generally consider the following entry options:

Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS)

A Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the most preferred structure for Australian companies establishing a long-term business presence in India. Under India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, 100% foreign ownership is permitted in most sectors under the Automatic Route, allowing Australian investors to retain complete ownership and management control.

A WOS is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 as a separate legal entity and offers greater operational flexibility, easier fundraising opportunities and enhanced credibility with customers, suppliers and financial institutions.

This structure is particularly suitable for Australian companies engaged in technology, education, engineering, mining services, renewable energy, manufacturing, consulting, healthcare, agribusiness and professional services.

Joint Venture (JV)

A Joint Venture is suitable where an Australian company wishes to collaborate with an Indian business possessing local market knowledge, manufacturing capabilities, distribution networks or sector-specific expertise.

A well-structured Joint Venture can reduce market entry risks, facilitate quicker expansion and provide access to local resources. However, shareholder rights, governance mechanisms, profit-sharing arrangements, intellectual property protection and exit provisions should be carefully negotiated before entering into such arrangements.

Branch Office

A Branch Office enables an Australian company to establish a business presence in India without incorporating a separate Indian company. Applications for establishment of a Branch Office are generally processed through the designated AD Category-I Bank under the applicable FEMA/RBI framework, while specified cases may require referral to RBI or other regulatory approval.

Branch Offices are permitted to undertake specified activities such as export and import of goods, consultancy services, professional services, technical support, research and representing the foreign parent company in India. Manufacturing activities generally cannot be undertaken directly through a Branch Office.

Liaison Office

A Liaison Office serves as a communication and coordination office between the Australian parent company and its Indian customers, suppliers or business partners.

A Liaison Office cannot undertake commercial, trading or revenue-generating activities in India. It is generally suitable for market research, identifying business opportunities, promoting collaborations and supervising Indian operations before making significant investments.

Project Office

A Project Office is appropriate where an Australian company has secured a specific project in India, particularly in sectors such as infrastructure, renewable energy, mining, engineering, construction or turnkey projects.

The Project Office remains operational for the duration of the approved project and is generally closed after project completion.

Distributor Appointment

Many Australian companies initially prefer entering India through authorised distributors or channel partners instead of establishing a legal entity.

The distributor model requires comparatively lower investment and allows businesses to evaluate market demand before making substantial capital commitments. Once business operations expand, companies often establish a wholly owned subsidiary to strengthen their long-term presence in India.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy for Australian Companies

India permits foreign investment under a liberal FDI framework governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the Consolidated FDI Policy and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations.

For Australian companies, investment is generally permitted under the Automatic Route in most sectors, meaning prior Government approval is not required, subject to applicable sectoral conditions.

However, investments in certain sensitive sectors continue to require Government approval or are subject to investment limits and additional regulatory requirements.

Before making an investment, Australian companies should evaluate:

• Whether investment falls under the Automatic or Government Route.
• Applicable sector-specific FDI limits.
• Pricing guidelines for issue or transfer of shares.
• RBI reporting obligations.
• Beneficial ownership requirements.
• Downstream investment implications.
• Industry-specific licensing requirements.

A detailed regulatory review before investment helps minimise compliance risks and facilitates smoother business operations.

FEMA and RBI Compliance

Foreign investment into India is regulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 and the regulations issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Australian companies establishing operations in India are generally required to comply with various FEMA and RBI requirements, including:

• Receipt of foreign investment through permitted banking channels.
• Issue of shares in accordance with applicable pricing guidelines.
• Timely filing of Form FC-GPR after allotment of shares.
• Reporting of share transfers through prescribed RBI forms.
• Compliance relating to downstream investments.
• External Commercial Borrowing (ECB), where applicable.
• Repatriation of dividends and other permissible payments.
• Ongoing FEMA reporting and record maintenance.

Failure to comply with FEMA requirements may result in penalties and compounding proceedings. Accordingly, proper regulatory planning should be undertaken before and after the investment.

India–Australia Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement

India and Australia have entered into a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) governing taxation of cross-border income between the two countries.

The treaty has subsequently been affected by the Multilateral Instrument relating to treaty-based tax measures. The Australian Taxation Office publishes the synthesised treaty text reflecting these modifications.

Depending upon the transaction, the India–Australia DTAA may be relevant to:

• Business profits;
• Permanent Establishment;
• Dividends;
• Interest;
• Royalties;
• Capital gains;
• Employment-related income; and
• Relief from double taxation.

Australian companies should particularly examine Permanent Establishment exposure where employees, consultants, sales personnel or other representatives undertake activities in India before a formal Indian subsidiary is established.

Where an Australian parent company enters into transactions with its Indian subsidiary, India’s transfer-pricing regulations may also apply.

Typical intercompany transactions may include:

• Management services;
• Technical and professional services;
• Software and technology services;
• Engineering services;
• Royalty;
• Purchase and sale of goods;
• Cost allocations;
• Loans and guarantees;
• Employee secondments; and
• Expense reimbursements.

The legal agreements, actual conduct, supporting documentation and pricing should appropriately support these related-party arrangements.

Treaty benefits should be analysed based on the specific facts, including:

• Tax residence;
• Nature of income;
• Beneficial ownership;
• Commercial substance;
• Permanent Establishment;
• Applicable Indian tax provisions;
• Treaty provisions; and
• Supporting documentation.

Australian companies should therefore undertake tax and transfer-pricing planning before commencing material cross-border transactions with their Indian operations.

Official treaty reference:

ATO – India–Australia Tax Treaty Text

Australia-Specific Regulatory Considerations

Australian companies entering India should evaluate several legal and commercial considerations before making an investment, including:

• Appropriate business structure for the proposed activities.
• Applicable FDI policy and sectoral restrictions.
• FEMA and RBI compliance requirements.
• Tax implications under the India–Australia DTAA.
• Permanent Establishment exposure.
• Transfer Pricing regulations.
• GST registration and indirect tax obligations.
• Employment and labour law compliance.
• Industry-specific approvals and licences.
• Intellectual property protection and commercial contracts.
• Customs regulations for imported machinery or products.
• Environmental and sustainability regulations for relevant industries.

Early evaluation of these aspects helps reduce regulatory risks and supports smoother business operations.

Documents Required for Company Registration in India

The documents required for company registration in India depends on the selected business structure. In the case of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the following documents are generally required.

Documents of the Australian Parent Company

• Certificate of Incorporation.
• Constitution or equivalent constitutional documents.
• Certificate of Good Standing, where applicable.
• Board Resolution approving investment in India.
• Authorisation in favour of the proposed representative.
• Registered office address proof.

Documents of Proposed Directors

• Passport.
• Address proof.
• Identity proof.
• Passport-size photograph.
• Email address.
• Mobile number.

Certain documents executed outside India may require notarisation and apostille in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Indicative Timeline for Business Setup

The actual timeline may vary depending upon documentation, regulatory approvals and sector-specific requirements.
