Introduction to doing business in India 2026Welcome to the 2026 edition of ‘An Introduction to Doing Business in India’ guide. Our latest Doing Business in India edition was released at a pivotal moment in the country’s economic and regulatory evolution. The past year marked an important transition in the country’s growth trajectory, with policy reforms and sector-specific initiatives reshaping the operating environment for both domestic and international businesses.

This year, India is set to implement a series of significant regulatory and structural changes. These include wide-ranging reforms to labor laws, taxation frameworks, and data protection and compliance regimes, alongside targeted industrial and investment schemes aimed at strengthening manufacturing, services, and digital infrastructure. Together, these developments are expected to materially influence market entry strategies, operational structures, and long-term investment planning.

This guide provides a structured overview of India’s business environment, offering practical insights into regulatory requirements, investment considerations, and emerging policy trends to help companies navigate the evolving landscape with greater clarity and confidence.

Designed to introduce the fundamentals of investing in India, this publication is compiled by the experts at Dezan Shira & Associates, a specialist practice providing corporate establishment, business advisory, tax advisory and compliance, accounting, payroll, due diligence, and financial review services to multinationals investing in emerging Asia.
