What do the registrations show?
In FY 2026–27 (1 April to 31 October 2026), the stated activity scope contains 1,393 classified registrations: 901 Private Limited, 473 LLP and 19 OPC. These are seven-month incorporation records within the stated scope, not a full-year result or evidence of business success.
Which structure fits your business?
Compare machinery ownership, moulds, product design rights and financing. Incorporation and activity-specific approvals are separate decisions.
- Private Limited: assess share-based ownership and planned outside equity investment.
- LLP: assess partner-based ownership and agreed contributions.
- OPC: assess a company structure for a sole owner, considering future co-owners.
Compare ownership, funding, taxation and recurring administration before deciding.
Rubber and plastic manufacturing registration: common questions
What should an injection-moulding business agree before incorporating?
Settle who owns moulds, machinery and product designs, including customer-owned tooling. Assess partner contributions, borrowing and equity funding separately.
How do you register a rubber and plastic products business?
Follow the MCA company incorporation process for the chosen company type, or the LLP incorporation process for an LLP. See our Documents Required for Company Registration in India: PVT. LTD. and OPC and LLP Registration in India: Process, Documents, Costs and Agreement. Incorporation is separate from operating approvals for the proposed activity; review the National Single Window System for approval information.
Can an existing proprietor use these figures to decide?
Yes, as context for comparing registered structures. The table does not count proprietorships, and the most popular structure is not automatically the right choice. Compare the intended owners and funding plan first.

Coverage notes: Calculations use MCA monthly incorporation reporting periods from 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2026. FY 2021–22 is missing November 2021, January 2022 and March 2022. FY 2026–27 covers April–October 2026 only. Records without usable activity codes are excluded from sector allocation, including LLP records in October 2018 without activity codes and one LLP in October 2026 with no activity code. Code definitions changed over time; the stated legacy/newer scope is retained. No missing records are estimated. The sector table includes Private Limited, LLP and OPC only; Public/Other Companies, Foreign Companies, Proprietorships and ordinary Partnerships are excluded. Private Limited excludes OPC. These sector tables are not the Company-only state tables, which exclude LLPs.
Source: Calculated from the full entity-level analysis of 126 distinct MCA workbooks analysed for this research, deduplicated by CIN/LLPIN. Code versions follow the source-format/CIN indicator in the extraction. Classification reference: MoSPI NIC 2008. Percentages may differ from 100% due to rounding.
A practical example for your structure decision
An injection-moulding unit should agree ownership of moulds, machinery and customer-specific designs. Compare partner-funded equipment with a company structure intended to admit future equity investors.
