KDP shares insight on India entry routes for China-linked businesses

MGI member firm KDP Chartered Accountants has shared a practical update for China-linked businesses exploring opportunities in India. 

The article explains recent changes under India’s Press Note 3 framework and what they could mean for businesses considering market entry, investment or a physical presence in India.

What this means for members

The update highlights that, from March 2026, certain non-controlling investments of up to 10% may be able to proceed through the automatic route, depending on the structure, sector and beneficial ownership involved.

KDP also explains that this is not a fully open door. Careful planning remains essential, particularly around beneficial ownership, control rights, shareholder agreements and ongoing compliance.

The article also points to faster approval timelines for specific manufacturing sectors, as well as practical routes for establishing a presence in India through a liaison office, branch office or project office.

For members and clients across the Asia region, this is a useful and timely insight into how India’s investment landscape is evolving, and where careful structuring can help businesses move forward with greater clarity.
