Where the companies are
NEW Delhi, with 1,34,603 companies and LLPs, 26.4% of everything registered in the state.
What they do
The commonest classifications on the register here are business services (32%), trading (14%) and community, personal and social services (13.2%).
What they registered as
82.9% of the register here is private limited companies and 10.9% is LLPs. An LLP is a partnership whose partners have limited liability and no shares; a private limited company issues shares, which is what an outside investor buys.
10,158 are One Person Companies, a form the Companies Act 2013 introduced for a single owner who wants limited liability without a second shareholder.
3,757 are filed as a subsidiary of a company incorporated outside India.
Jurisdiction
Why the two percentages differ
The share still active counts everything ever registered here, including companies incorporated this year that have had no opportunity to fail. It rises wherever incorporations are recent, which makes it a poor measure of survival.
The second figure only reads entities registered before 2015. Removal under section 248 of the Companies Act needs two financial years without business behind it, so a younger cohort has not had time to qualify. That is the number worth comparing between states, and it is still an association rather than a cause: a state with a deep back catalogue of 1990s registrations will look worse than one built since 2015, whatever happened to the businesses.
A registered state is also not where the work happens. It is the address on the filing, and for a group of companies that is often one office in a city the business never operates from.
New registrations
1,08,812 of the 11,98,249 companies and LLPs registered across the country in the complete years 2021 to 2025 give Delhi as their state, which is 9.1% of them against 13.6% of the register as a whole. It is registering below the weight it already carries, by 4.5 points.
