Key observation

The relative shares of Private Companies and LLPs are particularly useful when comparing this financial year with earlier and later periods.

What the geographic pattern means

These counts show where new Companies were registered. They can help identify the scale of regional business formation, but a larger count does not establish a better business environment or stronger business survival. Population, economic size and sector composition are needed for those comparisons.

Scope: Companies includes Private Companies, OPCs and Public Companies. LLPs and Foreign Companies are excluded from these state tables. State-wise analysis cannot be derived from LLPINs because they do not contain a state code. LLP state analysis requires separately verified address or State fields. State is derived from valid CINs; unresolved CINs remain unassigned. Shares use all dated Company records for the stated period, including records with an unassigned state. Rows without usable registration dates are excluded from financial-year allocation.

Registration jurisdiction does not identify every operating location, and registration counts do not measure revenue, jobs, investment or survival. Historical jurisdiction labels are retained where relevant. The reporting period is 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
