I recently pulled and cleaned a sample of 51,123 company registration records from India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA21) via the official data.gov.in to analyze business registration and survival trends across India.

Key Findings & Visualizations

  • Industry Leaders: Business Services, Trading, and Community/Personal Services dominate company incorporations.
  • Company Survival: Business mortality (struck-off rates) varies significantly across industries and decades.
  • Capital Breakdown: The vast majority of registered firms are small/micro private enterprises with paid-up capital under ₹10 Lakhs.
  • Registration Spikes: Clear inflection points and post-COVID recovery patterns in incorporation numbers over the last decade.

Data & Code

Note on sampling: To prevent large economic hubs from dominating the counts completely, the sample caps at ~2,000 companies per state across 29 states/UTs. Rate-based metrics (e.g., % active, % struck off, median capital) reflect real distributions.

Feedback, suggestions, or additional chart ideas are very welcome!
