India Records 23,776 Company Registrations in April; LLPs Lead In Growth

Registrations of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) in India are growing faster than company registrations, driven by lower compliance requirements.

India registered 23,776 new companies in April 2025, the highest monthly figure to date, per the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This marked the second straight month of record company registrations, following 21,157 in March. LLP registrations, however, showed faster growth, increasing 19.2% year-on-year to 394,818, compared to a 7.4% rise in total company registrations. Experts attributed the trend to lower compliance requirements for LLPs. The service sector accounted for the majority of both company and LLP formations. Active companies reached over 1.87 million in April, making up 65% of all registered companies.

MCA data also revealed that 42% of new directors registered in April were aged 31–45, indicating rising participation of younger individuals in new business leadership.
